Our staff is well below the industry (Education) benchmark in terms of users that are "prone to phishing". We also have multiple instances over the years where employees have stopped real efforts to access data illegally or an attempt to take funds from our institution." * Eric Stewart, Director of Technology and Facilities "[KnowBe4's PhishER] has been great for us. It ticked all the boxes for our requirements to help keep our data safe and helps with our cybersecurity insurance. When a user spots a suspicious email, it is so easy to report. We are then able to take action immediately, keeping everyone else more secure with a click of a few buttons." * Amy-Louise Pratt, Accounts and Business Operations Specialist "HIPAA and GDPR are 2 legislative and data privacy laws that are applicable to us and [Compliance Plus] has helped greatly with its over 1,000 modules covering various laws, ethics, data protection, and DEI.

KnowBe4 expands gamified training library with launch of "Spot the Vish" Game. Real-time voice phishing simulation aims to help organizations combat social engineering attacks KnowBe4, the global leader in digital workforce security, securing both AI agents and humans, today announced the official launch of its 35th interactive game, Spot the Vish. This latest addition to the KnowBe4 game library is designed to train the digital workforce to recognize, resist, and report voice phishing (vishing) attacks in real time. Vishing attacks have grown increasingly sophisticated, often involving bad actors posing as IT support or C-level executives to create artificial crises and manipulate employees into handing over sensitive credentials. Phone-based vishing attacks increased 449% according to the KnowBe4 2025 Phishing Threat Trends Report Volume Six. Spot the Vish addresses this growing threat by putting users into realistic audio scenarios where they must make split-second decisions to protect their organization. "An urgent call from what seems to be IT or a high-ranking executive with a high-pressure request for a password or large wire transfer can happen to any employee at any time," said Isida Drake, SVP of Security & Compliance eLearning, KnowBe4. "We have gamified the critical threat vector of vishing into an interactive simulation where employees learn in an engaging and memorable way. By participating in the new Spot the Vish game, employees develop the muscle memory needed to help protect their organizations by stopping vishing attacks." Spot the Vish transforms passive training into an active problem-solving experience through several engaging mechanics like the scam-o-meter, which allows players to watch the threat level rise in real time as red flags pop up throughout the conversation. Users must choose whether to shut down the scam, safely verify the caller's identity through official channels, or risk falling for the trick. Employees can earn top points, dodge penalties, and rack up performance badges, fostering healthy competition and high knowledge retention. Spot the Vish joins a robust lineup of high-impact, fan-favorite titles, including: Danger Zone, the Spot the Phish series, Share If You Dare and The Inside Man. The KnowBe4 game library delivers gamified learning experiences designed to maximize user engagement and customers find the variety of materials useful and applicable to a global audience given the offerings in multiple languages, including a customer on G2: "KnowBe4 provides ongoing, customizable phishing simulations that mimic real attacks. It also helps employees recognize and respond to phishing in a safe environment. KnowBe4 provides a wide variety of training materials (videos, games, quizzes, posters) in multiple languages. Providing material in multiple languages is one of the very good features for global organizations." Spot the Vish is now available to KnowBe4 customers through the updated, AI-enabled ModStore.
