Kevin Mitnick and KnowBe4

Starting in 2011, Kevin served as the Chief Hacking Officer at KnowBe4, the top security awareness program and platform in the world. Kevin developed a number of cybersecurity education seminars for staff members through KnowBe4, including Kevin Mitnick Security Awareness Training (KMSAT), and instructed businesses on how to deal with cyber threats. These programs covered advice and methodologies as well as examples of how to deal with social engineering, spear phishing, ransomware attacks, and more. From launching KMSAT in 2012, the program was adopted by over 400 enterprise sites in just one year.

Our security awareness training is a comprehensive security training program developed in partnership with KnowBe4. It leverages the world's largest library of security content and Kevin Mitnick's expertise to educate employees on how to recognize and defend against cyber threats like phishing and social engineering.

The Mitnick Security Global Ghost Team is comprised of seasoned security professionals. During engagements, they flip the equation by adopting a proactive, offensive security posture. Every engagement is designed to simulate real-world attack vectors, which is why team members have earned advanced certifications, such as Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP), Offensive Security Advanced Pentesting Training PEN-300 (OSEP), GIAC’s (Global Information Assurance Certification) GPEN, GIAC Exploit Researcher and Advanced Penetration Tester (GXPN), EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH),

How does the training platform help me meet compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA, PCI, ISO 27001)?

In short, you’ll get both the training content mapped to regulatory requirements and the reporting you need to demonstrate compliance.

The training platform is built with audit-ready reporting and alignment with compliance standards at its core. From tracking user completion to generating executive-level dashboards, you get the documentation you need to show training occurred, who completed it, and the outcomes of phishing & awareness campaigns — all of which support regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, PCI, and ISO 27001.

Moreover, content libraries and simulation templates can be aligned to industry-specific threats and regulations (Healthcare, Banking, Energy, etc.), so whether you’re subject to HIPAA, GLBA, PCI-DSS, or ISO 27001 requirements, the training helps you build the human-risk control layer these standards expect.

What is the measurable ROI/business impact of the training?
The training platform converts human risk into measurable business value. Using SmartRisk™ Agent, you get actionable risk scores at the user, group, and organizational level—tracking reductions in phishing susceptibility and overall cyber risk over time. Executive dashboards and reports clearly show improvement, turning security awareness training from a cost center into a quantifiable risk-reduction investment.
How does the training use phishing simulations?
Phishing remains an effective cyberattack strategy, and our training platform uses AI-driven, real-world phishing simulations with over 25,000 templates. These simulations are personalized to test employees' responses to convincing phishing attacks, providing a practical, hands-on learning experience.
Is the security awareness training available in multiple languages?
Yes, the training platform is designed for a global workforce and supports over 35 languages for both the educational content and the phishing simulations.
How is user progress and risk measured?
The platform includes advanced analytics and reporting with over 60 built-in reports. The SmartRisk™ Agent evaluates individual user risk across seven knowledge areas, providing the organization with actionable risk scores and executive-level insights.
Can the training be customized for our organization?

Yes. Training can be tailored by department, job role, and industry to keep content relevant. For example, Accounts Payable teams can focus on invoice fraud while CISOs and IT staff address advanced threat scenarios. You can also add your branding, upload SCORM-compliant content, and build custom learning paths for different teams within one easy-to-manage platform. Speak with our team and learn how you can tailor phishing exercises and landing pages, and even integrate your own SCORM-compliant video content, to create a training program that fits your specific needs.

What makes this training different from other security awareness programs?

This training is unique because it was co-developed by Kevin Mitnick, the world's most famous hacker. It is built on his unparalleled understanding of social engineering and hacking techniques, providing insights that other programs lack.

How is the training platform managed and integrated?

The training is built on a robust learning management system (LMS). It can be seamlessly integrated with Active Directory, Azure, or Okta for easy user provisioning and management.
