The integration of KnowBe4 SecurityCoach with Microsoft Edge for Business enables organizations to tackle risky user behaviors instantly. By leveraging native security signals from browser activity, SecurityCoach identifies actions such as password reuse, visits to blocked sites, or attempts to bypass security warnings. Within seconds, it delivers targeted learning opportunities to educate users, fostering a security-focused culture.
With a 140% increase in browser-based phishing attacks, as reported by Menlo Security, securing browser activity is critical. The SecurityCoach integration provides a proactive solution, offering real-time interventions to mitigate risks. This capability ensures organizations can stay ahead of evolving cyber threats while maximizing their investment in KnowBe4’s human risk management platform.
As one of the few platforms with a built-in reporting connector for Microsoft Edge for Business, KnowBe4 enhances the Microsoft ecosystem’s security capabilities. “This new integration presents an ideal opportunity to turn people-centric cybersecurity risks into teachable moments that will ultimately help to better protect businesses,” said Stuart Clark, VP of product strategy, KnowBe4. This follows the successful launch of KnowBe4 Defend with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 earlier this year.
The collaboration bridges the gap between technical defenses and user behavior. “As the browser becomes the primary workspace for users, securing this critical endpoint is essential. We’re pleased to see KnowBe4 SecurityCoach integrate with Microsoft Edge to help organizations improve management of human risk and strengthen their security posture,” said Arunesh Chandra, principal product manager, Microsoft Edge for Business. By transforming potential vulnerabilities into learning opportunities, SecurityCoach empowers users to become a robust line of defense.
This integration marks a significant step in human risk management, enabling organizations worldwide to enhance their cybersecurity efforts. By combining KnowBe4’s expertise with Microsoft Edge for Business, companies can build a more resilient security framework, protecting against the growing threat of browser-based attacks.
