Schmitt + Sohn Aufzüge Cybersecurity Enhancement Case Study

This case study outlines the cybersecurity enhancement efforts of Schmitt + Sohn Aufzüge, a manufacturing organization with over 2,200 employees across Europe. The organization sought to improve its cybersecurity awareness and defenses against cyber threats by building a strong security culture. Prior to implementing KnowBe4, Schmitt + Sohn Aufzüge relied on limited internal resources for IT security training and occasional phishing tests. The decision to adopt KnowBe4 was driven by the platform's extensive training library, multilingual support, and the ability to conduct phishing tests independently. Following a seamless implementation process, all employees began participating in the security training program. The organization plans to introduce mandatory learning campaigns and increase the frequency of phishing tests in the future. Employee feedback has been positive, with a noticeable improvement in awareness of cyber threats and acceptance of security measures. The leadership recommends the platform for its effectiveness in enhancing corporate security and employee awareness.
