AXA XL partners with KnowBe4
AXA XL is teaming up with KnowBe4, a cybersecurity platform that addresses human risk management, to provide its cyber insurance clients globally with access to educational resources that empower employees to understand cyber risks and strengthen their role as a crucial line of defense against cyber threats.
Human error contributed to 95% of data breaches in 2024, according to a recent study by Mimecast. As part of the partnership, KnowBe4 will offer AXA XL clients a complimentary phishing security test to check their phish prone percentage and their exposure.
AXA XL clients are also eligible for discounted pricing on core products including KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training (KSAT), a platform used to simulate phishing and security awareness training, and Cloud Email Security (Prevent, Defend & Protect), a platform that aims to protect organizations from email-borne threats, particularly sophisticated phishing attacks and data breaches. Additional discounts are available for other KnowBe4 products including PhishER Plus, SecurityCoach, Compliance Plus and AI Defense Agents.
