Defend™
Behavioral AI detects sophisticated phishing emails. Contextual, color-coded banners help reduce risk and enhance security awareness.
The Only Self-Learning and Adaptive Anti-Phishing Product
KnowBe4 Defend takes a new approach to email security by addressing the gaps in M365 and Secure Email Gateways (SEGs). Defend helps you respond to threats, dynamically improve security detection, and stop advanced phishing and zero-day threats. Defend complements your existing tools with real-time analysis, customizable warning banners, user engagement tools and detailed analytics. By combining advanced technology with user education, Defend offers comprehensive protection against evolving email threats, enhancing your organization's overall security posture.
Defend’s proven, zero-trust approach enables you to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, emerging threats and advanced attacks that evade perimeter controls.
Nudge theory is brought to life through dynamic color-coded warning banners for your users highlighting real-time threats, reducing risk and augmenting SAT programs.
Defend’s self-adapting mechanism uses every threat to improve its detection algorithm, automatically delivering the most up-to-date protection without admin intervention.

Defend not only provides an additional layer of defense but also supplements our security awareness training. Defend’s clickable banners allow employees to … continuously develop their cybersecurity awareness.
Kevin Orritt | Cyber Security Manager, GMMH
We’re particularly impressed with the administration capabilities. I used to spend hours configuring rules and monitoring quarantines, but this is no longer the case. The admin page gives us the ability to have all the threat intelligence we need in one place, quickly and simply, as well as remediation capabilities – ultimately allowing better peace of mind and time back in my day.
