Here are a few important updates to share with you from the month of January.
THE NEW KNOWBE4 MODSTORE IS HERE!
KnowBe4 is excited to announce the rollout of a new and improved interface for the ModStore in the KnowBe4 console.
The new ModStore interface was designed to give you easier and faster access to the KnowBe4 content library with enhanced search and filtering capabilities that help you browse and preview content based on your specific security awareness program goals and the learning needs of your users.The ModStore serves up training content in a more intuitive and user-friendly format. Your home page now displays featured content banners and more holistic training recommendations you can add to your training campaigns. You’ll also see new training content tiles you can hover over for quick info on any piece of training content.
With the new ModStore design, you can:
- Browse training content by your program maturity level for ongoing learner engagement and topical application and retention.
- Search across a variety of cybersecurity topic areas including Attack Vectors, Compliance, and HR-related materials.
- Filter training content on multiple criteria selections such as content type, language, and duration. For example, show all video training content available in both English and Spanish that are under 5 minutes, or other criteria combinations relevant to your organization’s needs.
- See at-a-glance all associated training modules and educational reinforcement content available in a given training series.

TRAINING CONTENT UPDATES
In January, three of KnowBe4's most popular pieces of training content were updated for 2020 and include:
- Common Threats: In this module, Kevin Mitnick explains why you have to be suspicious of any unexpected links that ask you to make an action, such as entering your password or installing any files. Kevin also demonstrates what can happen if you do take action, by showing you two digital attacks and how hackers conduct them.
- Social Engineering Red Flags: This module covers the social engineering “red flags” that can be found in emails, digital messages, over the phone, and through in-person social engineering attacks. To engage the learner, common “hacking tricks” are presented from the viewpoint of a hacker and how an educated user might spot the red flags in each of the hacker’s methods.
- Danger Zone Game: Welcome to the Danger Zone! Keep your organization safe by successfully answering questions and preventing a hacker from reaching an unlocked workstation. This gamified assessment is designed as a post-training activity, meant to be taken after completing the 2020 Your Role, 2020 Social Engineering Red Flags, and 2020 Common Threats modules.
