Case Study: Schmitt + Sohn Aufzüge achieves company-wide cybersecurity awareness and in-house phishing testing with KnowBe4

Schmitt + Sohn Aufzüge Takes Cybersecurity to the Next Level with KnowBe4

Schmitt + Sohn Aufzüge, a leading European elevator manufacturer with over 2,200 employees, faced limited internal resources to keep security training current and to run regular phishing simulations. To build a stronger security culture and improve employee awareness of cyber threats, the company selected the KnowBe4 awareness platform for its extensive, multilingual training library and self-service phishing testing capabilities.

KnowBe4 was integrated quickly (including Active Directory) and enabled Schmitt + Sohn Aufzüge to run five to ten simulated phishing tests annually and roll out ongoing training to all 2,200 employees. The vendor’s solution delivered seamless implementation, measurable cost savings by bringing phishing tests in-house, higher employee participation and acceptance of security measures, and noticeably improved awareness across the organization.
