“The Inside Man” is a custom, network-quality video series, now with two seasons, created by Twist & Shout Communications, a KnowBe4 company.

The exclusive KnowBe4 series delivers an entertaining, movie-like experience with a compelling story that will engage users and create fans. From social engineering to passwords, to social media and travel, The Inside Man reveals how easy it can be for an outsider to penetrate an organization’s security controls and network.
