KnowBe4 was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms for the second consecutive year. How does bringing technical email protection and human behavioural data under one platform change the way organizations defend themselves?

Bringing technical controls (e.g., PhishER Plus, PhishRIP, PhishML AI) together with human behavioral telemetry creates a closed-loop defense architecture:

1. Human Telemetry Informs Technical Controls: When an employee reports a suspicious message using the Phish Alert Button (PAB), crowd-sourced threat intelligence from over 10 million users validates the threat. Upon confirmation, automated engines (such as PhishRIP) hunt and quarantine matching messages across all mailboxes enterprise-wide within minutes.
2. Technical Telemetry Informs Human Coaching: Integrated security stack events feed into platforms like SecurityCoach. When technical controls detect risky behavior (e.g., pasting sensitive credentials or bypassing web warnings), real-time contextual nudges are delivered immediately via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email.
3. Threat-to-Training Conversion: Real-world attacks that bypass technical filters can be automatically converted into safe, simulated training campaigns via capabilities like PhishFlip, training employees against the exact attack vectors actively targeting their organization.
