Fran Roberts - Studios General Manager, KnowBe4
I am thrilled to be writing my first message to you as KnowBe4's new Studios General Manager. I joined KnowBe4 because I believe that one of the most impactful areas for next-level storytelling is in security awareness — content that genuinely changes behavior and protects people.
That makes this a particularly exciting month to kick things off. Our new Cyber Confessions series puts real breach stories front and center, told through the eyes of the executives and professionals who lived them — a CISO blindsided by an Internet of Things vulnerability, a traveler who fell victim to a man-in-the-middle attack, an R&D manager whose human error led to accidental data exposure. First-person accounts like these make abstract threats visceral in a way that nothing else can.
Round that out with updated NIST password guidance, new social engineering and deepfake modules, and a vishing simulation — and it is a strong start to what I know will be an exciting chapter ahead.
