KnowBe4 Fresh Content Updates from March: Including New Optional Learning Feature for Your Users

Here are important fresh content updates and new features to share with you that happened in the month of March.

KNOWBE4 PRODUCT UPDATES

NEW! Enhance Your Users’ Learning Experience with Optional Learning
We are excited to introduce the new Optional Learning feature within the KnowBe4 platform. Optional Learning enables you to offer your users additional training content from the KnowBe4 ModStore. Simply create specific training campaigns with the optional training content you would like to make available for your users to self-select.

Once you push these training campaigns live, the training content is added to your users’ Learner Library tab within the KnowBe4 Learner Experience interface. You now have the ability to add a variety of training content and supplemental reinforcements that help your users take an active role in their security awareness education with the flexibility to choose what training they want to take and when. Your users can click on a training content tile in their library and will be able to view the course descriptions pulled directly from the ModStore.

With Optional Learning You Can:

• Provide additional training content you would like to make available to your users outside of mandatory training, including your own SCORM-compliant custom content
• Track your users’ engagement and completion progress of optional training content to help gauge interests in topics and preferences for future training campaigns
• Set up different Optional Learning training campaigns based on roles, groups, or other performance metrics
• Use the KnowBe4 gamification feature as part of your Optional Learning initiatives to encourage friendly competition among users. Your users can earn extra badges as they voluntarily choose to learn more about being more security-aware

Ready to see what cool optional learning content you can offer your users?

Two new video modules from exploqii were added this month.

Crypto Wallet - Protect Your Money
Alongside currencies such as dollars and euros, cryptocurrencies are increasingly important. But if you already pay with bitcoin, or want to in the future, you should observe a few security rules.

Beware: Cybercriminals have already developed scams for grabbing the virtual wallets of unsuspecting users. This video shows how you can protect your digital money against hackers and your own mistakes.

QR Codes
Quick Response (QR) codes are practical and make you curious. You have surely seen them in advertisements or promotional posters and know that you can scan the characteristic patterns with your smartphone.

But are you also aware of the dangers that may lurk behind QR codes? This video module explains when and why QR codes become dangerous and how to protect yourself against them.

All exploqii content is available at the Diamond subscription level.

Saya University
A new training module from Saya University was added in March.

Social Networking Site (SNS) and Spear Phishing
In this brandable training module, hackers are seeking to target a major Japanese electronics maker named Saya Electronics via LinkedIn. 

A salesperson who attends a trade fair is targeted by the hackers to gain insight and information to help conduct spear phishing attacks on Saya Electronics. Learn how the hackers can increase their chance of success when their emails seem legitimately related to the conversation at the trade fair. 

All Saya University content is available at the Diamond subscription level.
