Reduce Your Cyber Risk


 

Cetrom recommends adopting KnowBe4, the industry-leading security awareness platform, as part of our comprehensive managed security services. This managed security awareness initiative is designed to further safeguard your organization from ever-evolving cyber threats by empowering your employees with the knowledge and tools to recognize and respond to security risks effectively.

Why Adopt Cybersecurity Awareness Training

Employees are the weak link in an organization’s network security. They are frequently exposed to sophisticated phishing and ransomware attacks. 91% of successful data breaches began with a spear-phishing attack. Employees need to be trained and remain on their toes with security at the forefront of their minds.

Insurance Policy Requirements & Premiums

Many cyber insurance providers now require organizations to implement security awareness training and regular phishing simulations as part of their policy terms. By adopting KnowBe4 through Cetrom, you not only align with these requirements but may also benefit from reduced insurance premiums. Maintaining compliance can be essential for policy renewals and claims, and our managed solution will help you easily demonstrate that your organization meets these critical standards.

Cetrom has partnered with KnowBe4 to provide a platform to better manage urgent IT security threats such as social engineering, spear phishing, and ransomware. KnowBe4 is the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, with tens of thousands of customers.

Benefits of KnowBe4 with Cetrom

  • Seamless Account Setup & Onboarding: Cetrom’s team will handle the entire KnowBe4 account setup and onboarding, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free experience for your team.

  • Comprehensive Security Awareness Training: Your team will have access to engaging, up-to-date training modules that cover the latest tactics used by cybercriminals.
  • Phishing Simulations: Regular, realistic phishing simulations will help your employees spot potential threats and reinforce best practices in real time.
  • Automated Reporting & Compliance: Easily track participation, completion, and performance to meet compliance and insurance requirements.
  • Continuous Improvement: Ongoing training and updates ensure your organization stays prepared for new and emerging threats.

How to Enroll in KnowBe4 

KnowBe4 helps satisfy cyber insurance and compliance needs and can be one of the most effective security measures to help inform and protect your team. If you are interested in exploring Cetrom's IT Services and Security Solutions, including KnowBe4, Contact Cetrom for more information.
