The challenge

Beveland Wonen, a Dutch social housing organization based in Goes, provided some security awareness training but needed to strengthen it and reduce the manual work of investigating reported emails, which was previously handled by hand.

The solution

Beveland Wonen adopted KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training together with PhishER, a lightweight SOAR and incident-response platform, using the Phish Alert Button so users could report suspicious emails that PhishER then analyzed automatically.

PhishER is automatically resolving 25% of messages reported by our users. That translates directly to about three weeks' time my team is saving annually.
