Addressing the Human Factor in Cybersecurity While technical security solutions are essential, human error remains a significant vulnerability in any organization's cybersecurity posture. Studies have shown that a large percentage of cyberattacks exploit human vulnerabilities, such as phishing issues and social engineering tactics. KnowBe4's innovative platform addresses this critical gap by providing engaging and effective security awareness training that educates employees on how to identify and mitigate cyber threats.

Through this partnership, V3iT and KnowBe4 offer businesses a unique combination of technical and human-focused security solutions. V3iT's solutions will continue to safeguard networks and endpoints from malware, ransomware, and other cyberattacks, while KnowBe4's training platform will equip employees with the knowledge and skills to recognize and respond to phishing attempts, social engineering, and other social cyber threats. This combined approach creates a comprehensive security ecosystem that addresses both technical and human vulnerabilities, empowering businesses to build a stronger and more resilient defense against cyberattacks.

Gopal Mishra, EVP- Projects and Strategy for V3iT noted, "Through our partnership with KnowBe4 we are helping clients create the "human firewall" in defense of their IT and business environments, assisting in all segments, public and commercial".
