KnowBe4, the global leader in digital workforce security, securing both AI agents and humans, today announced the launch of KnowBe4 Defend Graph API integration and localized teachable moments within its Inbound Email Security. The two product updates empower organizations to implement high-performance, zero-friction email security while delivering personalized, native-language coaching to a global workforce.
Defend Graph API uses Outlook Category Tags for color-coded teachable moments directly in inbox view.
When email is quarantined, Defend sends personalized notification explaining specific phishing signs that triggered block.
Native-language support for Chinese (Mandarin - Simplified), Dutch, English, French, French (Canada), German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, and Spanish (Latin America).
Graph API aligns more closely with DKIM and DMARC standards; SMTP remains available for link rewriting.
Defend for G-Suite coming soon with localized teachable moments.
KnowBe4 trusted by more than 70,000 organizations worldwide.
“As organizations move toward API-based security architectures, simplicity and scalability are critical,” says Greg Kras, chief product officer at KnowBe4. “Defend Graph API and our new localized teachable moments ensure users understand why threats are dangerous in the moment, across supported global markets. By combining zero-friction deployment with culturally relevant coaching, we are turning security into a continuous, global learning experience that strengthens the entire digital workforce.”
KnowBe4 Defend Graph API utilizes Outlook Category Tags to provide color-coded teachable moments directly in the inbox view, allowing users to identify potential risks without opening the email. When an email is quarantined, Defend sends a separate, personalized notification to the user explaining the specific phishing signs that triggered the block, transforming each security action into an educational opportunity. Administrators can choose to scan specific groups or enable a tenancy-wide option to automatically protect all mailboxes across the organization.
Localized Teachable Moments provides rewritten content by native speakers to ensure it is culturally and linguistically relevant, delivering regionally appropriate content that resonates with employees in their native dialect. Organizations can now manage a truly global program where every user receives the same high-standard of point-of-risk coaching, regardless of their location. By providing the information users require in their native language, organizations reduce the volume of help-desk tickets from users asking for clarification on blocked or tagged emails.
