Case Study: Action for Children reduces phishing risk with KnowBe4

Action for Children cuts Phish-prone Percentage from 10% to 1.3% with KnowBe4

Action for Children, a UK nonprofit, faced the challenge of establishing a new security culture to mitigate phishing email risks and protect the sensitive data of the children it serves. Their first head of IT security, Andrew Vickers, identified the need to move beyond basic, tedious training and chose to implement the KnowBe4 platform, including its Security Awareness Training and PhishER products.

By deploying KnowBe4's end-to-end solution, which included automated training and the Phish Alert Button for reporting threats, the organization significantly improved its security posture. The measurable result was a reduction in their Phish-prone Percentage from 10% to just 1.3%. KnowBe4 also provided tools like the Security Culture Survey, which helped promote a strong culture of personal responsibility for security across all employees.
