Tech Data Corporation has announced an agreement with KnowBe4, a provider of security awareness training, to offer KnowBe4’s portfolio of end-user security training and phishing simulations to solution providers through the distributor’s Security and Information Management business unit.
The new agreement comes one day after Tech Data’s announcement that it is now a rental aggregator for Veeam, offering Veeam availability software to Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partners.
“Our agreement with KnowBe4 enables our partners to offer comprehensive security awareness training services at a time when cybersecurity is a growing concern and priority for all organizations,” says Tracy Holtz, director, Security and Information Management at Tech Data. “Innocent human error brings on vulnerabilities that are not detectable through even the strongest security defenses. KnowBe4’s services help organizations of all sizes address the weakest link—human error. Adding KnowBe4 to our security portfolio is part of our continual effort to provide enhanced security opportunities, while enabling our solution providers to protect their customers.”
KnowBe4’s web-based interactive trainings are designed to engage users and provide them with opportunities to continually test their knowledge. The trainings combine simulated phishing attacks, case studies, demonstration videos and tests with real-world scenarios to help employees understand the mechanisms of spam, phishing, spear phishing, malware and social engineering.
