AI-driven cybersecurity empowers organizations with proactive defenses, accelerated response times and more robust protection. One breakthrough in this space is Just-in-Time AI training, a transformative method that enhances cybersecurity awareness. By delivering real-time, context-sensitive “nudges” based on users’ current actions, KnowBe4 Inc. uses this approach to mitigate risky behavior before it escalates, according to Javvad Malik, lead security awareness advocate at KnowBe4. “The Just-in-Time training or the nudges is where AI can integrate with your existing security stack,” Malik said. “You have firewalls, you have network monitoring controls, you have some [endpoint detection and response], you have some gateway controls, you have a lot of visibility into what people are doing. What AI can do is pull all of that out and analyze it and say, ‘Okay, this user’s now plugged in a USB drive. It’s not a corporate-approved one.’”AI-driven cybersecurity significantly enhances awareness training and user behavior, supporting stronger risk mitigation by leveraging real-time analytics, personalization and automation. KnowBe4 leverages this approach to transform users from potential vulnerabilities into active defenders, greatly strengthening an organization’s human layer of defense against cyber threats, according to Malik. KnowBe4 enables cybersecurity awareness training and human risk management within organizations by leveraging behavioral science, AI-driven analytics and interactive training tools through its comprehensive training platform. This approach transforms employees from potential security liabilities into proactive defenders, according to Malik.
