Elica Enhances Cybersecurity Awareness with KnowBe4

This case study outlines Elica's efforts to strengthen its cybersecurity posture through the deployment of KnowBe4's Security Awareness Training and PhishER. Elica, a manufacturer of kitchen appliances with 2,500 employees, recognized the importance of creating a culture of security among its workforce. The IT team, led by Lorenzo Monti, inherited an existing KnowBe4 deployment that integrated seamlessly with the company's Active Directory, allowing for efficient management and training of 1,100 employees. The case study details the shift in strategy towards a more targeted training program, emphasizing monthly video training sessions that engage employees and enhance their understanding of cybersecurity threats. Additionally, the use of PhishER has automated the identification and resolution of suspicious emails, significantly improving the efficiency of the IT team. The case study concludes with Monti's observations on the positive impact of the training on employees' personal cybersecurity practices, indicating a broader cultural shift towards security awareness.
