TitanHQ Security Awareness Training vs. Alternatives Cofense and KnowBe4

Human error and phishing are popular methods to hack into corporate networks, install ransomware, steal data, or carry out scams such as Business Email Compromise. However, security awareness training has been shown to work to stop human-centric cyber-attacks and accidental data exposure: a blog from the Aberdeen Group gives a view of the power of providing effective security awareness:

“reduction in risk of about 50%; a median annual return on investment of about 5-times; and a reduction in the “long tail” of risk from phishing attacks of more than 2.5 times.”

But how do you choose an effective security awareness training solution? Three market leaders in the security awareness training space stand out: Cofense, KnowBe4, and TitanHQ Security Awareness Training. Here is why TitanHQ Security Awareness Training, an innovative behavior-driven solution, leaves the alternatives Cofense and KnowBe4 on the starting tracks.

KnowBe4

KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training is an alternative to TitanHQ Security Awareness Training and Cofense PhishMe. KnowBe4 provides security awareness educational material and a simulated phishing platform. In addition, KnowBe4 provides around 2,000 phishing templates to test employees' vulnerability to social engineering and phishing attacks. Like TitanHQ Security Awareness Training, alternative KnowBe4 provides a Learning Management system (LMS) to manage security awareness campaigns. KnowBe4 has a Module Store that contains training content available in the KnowBe4 platform. Social Engineering tests can also be automated using KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training and sent to employees using email, text, or voicemail.

Cofense PhishMe

Cofense PhishMe is an alternative to KnowBe4 and TitanHQ Security Awareness Training. PhishMe is designed to train employees and test their knowledge of social engineering attacks, including phishing. Cofense provides tracking capability to track user training outcomes over time. In addition, Cofense PhishMe provides a phishing reporting tool that generates report emails with a single click. The user interface for Cofense PhishMe is simple to use and reduces training needs when using the platform. Cofense integrates with Microsoft Azure to provide Active Directory (AD) integration.

Cofense PhishMe does not yet provide an extensive set of templates. Also, social engineering tests are more challenging to automate than KnowBe4 or TitanHQ Security Awareness Training.
