KnowBe4 has announced that it has joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) and its new SecurityCoach product integrates with Microsoft security products including:
- Microsoft Azure Active Directory
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps
SecurityCoach helps IT/security professionals to develop a strong security culture by enabling real-time security coaching of their users in response to risky security behavior. Leveraging an organisation’s existing security stack, IT/security professionals can configure their real-time coaching campaigns to immediately deliver a SecurityTip to their users related to a detected event.
“Microsoft joins our ecosystem of technology partners, which is growing rapidly, to enrich the support we provide to our customers and to fortify their organisation’s human firewall,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “KnowBe4 is proud to collaborate with Microsoft to provide a seamless integration with our new SecurityCoach product, which aims to deliver real-time security coaching and advice to help end users enhance their cybersecurity knowledge and strengthen their role in contributing to a strong security culture. KnowBe4 is actively working with Microsoft to provide an API-based integration to connect our platform with market leading systems that IT/security professionals already utilise, making rolling out new products to their teams an easy and unified process.”
Phil Montgomery, General Manager Security GTM at Microsoft, says “The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association has grown into a vibrant ecosystem comprised of the most reliable and trusted security vendors across the globe. Our members, like KnowBe4, share Microsoft’s commitment to collaboration within the cybersecurity community to improve our customers’ ability to predict, detect, and respond to security threats faster.”
KnowBe4 will provide step-by-step instructions and recommendations to help IT/security professionals achieve quick and pain-free integration and data syncing during the implementation process.
