KnowBe4

What is KnowBe4 and why does your organization need it?

KnowBe4 is the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform. It addresses the single most common entry point for cyberattacks: people. Phishing emails, vishing calls, and social engineering attempts succeed because employees aren’t trained to recognize them. KnowBe4 builds that recognition systematically — through ongoing simulated attacks and targeted training modules that change behavior over time.

For businesses in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and the greater Mountain West, the risk is concrete. According to Verizon’s annual Data Breach Investigations Report, over 80% of breaches involve a human element — phishing, stolen credentials, or social engineering. Deploying a next-generation firewall doesn’t protect against an employee clicking a malicious link. KnowBe4 does.

What does INVITE Networks deliver with KnowBe4?

INVITE deploys and manages the full KnowBe4 platform as part of a cybersecurity-focused managed services engagement. Every deployment includes:

• Automated Phishing Simulations — Ongoing campaigns that test employees with realistic phishing, vishing, and smishing scenarios; failure rates tracked over time to measure improvement
• Security Awareness Training Library — Access to KnowBe4’s full library of training modules, including compliance-relevant content for industries with regulatory requirements (HIPAA, PCI, CMMC)
• Human Risk Score (HRS) Reporting — Per-user risk scoring so you know exactly which employees represent the highest risk — and can target training accordingly
• Automated Training Enrollment — Employees who fail phishing simulations are automatically enrolled in remedial training without manual intervention
• Executive and Board Reporting — KnowBe4’s dashboard data surfaced in INVITE’s quarterly business reviews, showing measurable improvement in your organization’s human risk posture over time

What outcomes do INVITE clients see with KnowBe4?

A professional services firm in Salt Lake City came to INVITE after an employee nearly wired $47,000 to a fraudulent vendor following a business email compromise attempt. INVITE deployed KnowBe4 alongside an email security configuration hardening engagement. Within 90 days, the firm’s phishing failure rate dropped from 34% to 8%. At the 6-month mark it was below 4% — a level KnowBe4’s research consistently associates with organizations that have effectively neutralized phishing as a primary attack vector.

Across INVITE’s client base in SLC and Phoenix, organizations deploying KnowBe4 report measurable reductions in security incidents traceable to human error within the first two quarters of deployment.

Frequently asked questions about INVITE’s KnowBe4 partnership

Is KnowBe4 included in INVITE’s managed services, or is it a separate add-on?
KnowBe4 is available as a component of INVITE’s managed IT and cybersecurity services. INVITE handles licensing, deployment, campaign management, and reporting — clients don’t need to manage the platform themselves.

Will phishing simulations upset our employees?
Done correctly, they won’t. INVITE configures simulations that are realistic but not punitive — the goal is behavior change, not blame. Most employees respond positively once they understand the purpose, and the program is positioned internally as a benefit, not surveillance.

Is KnowBe4 only useful for large organizations?
No. KnowBe4 is effective at any size. Small and mid-sized businesses are frequently targeted precisely because attackers assume they have weaker defenses. INVITE recommends security awareness training for any organization with employees who use email.
