AJ from The Inside Man Now Coaching Your Users Real-time with Security Coach

Do your users love The Inside Man? See more of beloved character AJ, now in SecurityCoach!

I can’t personally disclose who my favorite character is (OK, it’s Fiona), but AJ is well-suited to give your users tips thanks to his personable coaching attitude.

Building on the success of our award-winning security awareness series that has captivated audiences worldwide, these bite-sized videos bring the same high-quality production and engaging storytelling to real-time security coaching.

We're excited to announce the release of 16 NEW videos exclusively for SecurityCoach featuring AJ from The Inside Man in a new series titled "AJ's Security Bites." These engaging micro-learning videos cover essential security topics, including phishing detection, risky website awareness, malware prevention, secure file sharing practices, remote access security, password management, BYOD policies, ransomware protection and privacy best practices. The collection also includes positive reinforcement videos for good security behaviors and corrective guidance for risky actions.

The concept of these short, attention-grabbing videos is designed in the style of modern social media content, making them perfect for today's multi-generational workforce. With concise messaging and a visually engaging format, they effectively communicate critical security concepts in just seconds, catering to various learning preferences and attention spans across different age groups.

What makes these videos particularly powerful is their integration with SecurityCoach's event-triggered coaching campaigns. When users engage in specific risky behaviors—whether clicking suspicious links, accessing unauthorized websites, or sharing files externally—the system automatically delivers relevant coaching content directly through your organization’s preferred communication channels like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Chat or email. This just-in-time learning approach reinforces security awareness precisely when users need it most, creating teachable moments that significantly improve security behaviors.

All 16 videos are available in British English, bringing our SecurityTip Catalog to an impressive 385 pieces of content that can be used for real-time security coaching.

More Coming from the Twist & Shout Team

The Twist & Shout team (that brought you The Inside Man and Security Snapshots) has been very busy lately. We are currently in production of The Inside Man Season 7 and have already shot some of the next season’s key scenes. The targeted launch date is in early-to-mid 2026. Stay tuned for more information as production continues.

Fans of the series need not wait for more content from The Inside Man universe though. Not only can you start using AJ Security Bites in SecurityCoach, but we are also actively working on the next game to be released for the series in the coming months. This is a follow-up to our popular and successful release of the game that accompanies Season 1 - The Inside Man: New Recruits, which provides users a gamified experience of the series while reinforcing important learning points. The second game will be coming to our Diamond level security awareness training library very soon, so stay tuned for more information and the specific release date.

I also highly recommend checking out the new series by the Twist & Shout team titled Chameleon. This exciting and engaging new series follows an eclectic team of cybersecurity experts as they use the latest tools and tricks of the trade to test the strength of their clients’ security. It has a very modern feel and can be used with standalone episodes as part of your training campaigns or as a series like The Inside Man, so your users can get to know the characters. The choice is yours. 

We would love to hear your thoughts on these new releases and your ideas for other training topics, so engage with us on the KnowBe4 Community. We have a lot of fresh, new training content on the way for KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training, Compliance Plus and SecurityCoach, and we look forward to hearing what you would like to see more of or if you have unique ideas and suggestions for other ways we can help to train your users and strengthen your security culture.
