KnowBe4, a world-renowned cybersecurity platform that comprehensively addresses human risk management, announced a strategic integration with Microsoft to strengthen email security. As the first initiative in Microsoft’s Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES) vendor ecosystem, this integration establishes a model for how leading security vendors can collaborate to deliver enhanced protection to their shared customers.
Built specifically to complement Microsoft 365’s existing email security, KnowBe4 Defend brings agency AI approaches to advanced inbound threat detection capabilities that complement and enhance native Microsoft protections. The integration allows organizations to maintain their existing Microsoft security investments while adding an additional layer of specialized threat detection and response.
“This new collaboration is driving significant innovation in cybersecurity,” said Stuart Clark, vice president of product strategy at KnowBe4. “By combining Microsoft’s email and collaboration security infrastructure with KnowBe4’s leadership in human risk management and robust threat detection capabilities, organizations can now leverage a truly integrated defense strategy that leverages the unique strengths of both platforms. We look forward to delivering this to our global customers to help them enhance their security efforts.”
