Case Study: Bridgewater State University reduces phishing risk and builds cybersecurity awareness with KnowBe4

Bridgewater State University cuts phishing-prone users from 15% to 4% with KnowBe4

Bridgewater State University, a public university with over 8,000 students and staff, faced a significant increase in phishing threats and lacked a platform to educate its community on cybersecurity awareness. To address this challenge, the university partnered with KnowBe4 and adopted its Security Awareness Training and Student Edition products.

KnowBe4's solution involved deploying simulated phishing campaigns and providing personalized training modules. This resulted in a dramatic reduction of the university's Phish-prone™ Percentage from 15% to 4%. The implementation also fostered an enhanced security culture, with mandatory training for new employees and meaningful conversations about threats among the student body, significantly improving the organization's security posture.
