KnowBe4, a leading provider of simulated phishing platforms and security awareness training, has launched a new feature called PhishER Plus Threat Intel. This feature integrates website reputation data from Webroot directly into the PhishER console Plus, enabling faster and more automated detection and response to web-based threats.
Cybercriminals are continuously evolving their methods to bypass traditional security defenses, including using techniques like drive-by downloads and delivering web-based malware. PhishER Plus Threat Intel provides users with instant Internet reputation data, allowing for intelligent and automated responses to web threats. This feature helps address the increasing cybersecurity risks associated with web-based attacks, making rapid threat identification and response essential for security teams.
PhishER Plus Threat Intel eliminates the need for manual searches and improves threat detection by providing comprehensive data on website reputation and threat history. This frees up security teams to focus on more complex threats while ensuring a rapid and consistent response to web-based attacks across the organization. By streamlining processes and reducing manual effort, online threat management becomes faster and less labor-intensive, enabling organizations to respond to threats on a larger scale.
Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4, emphasized the importance of this new feature in arming security teams with automated threat detection and accelerated response capabilities to combat growing cybersecurity attacks. The integration with Webroot’s threat intelligence enhances an organization’s defense system by enabling Security Operations Centers to identify and address web-based threats quickly and efficiently.
The PhishER Plus Threat Intel feature enhances web reputation visibility, efficient threat detection, and automated response capabilities, eliminating knowledge gaps and enabling security teams to maintain a solid security posture. This feature is included with the PhishER Plus subscription at no additional cost and does not require a separate Webroot license.
