Phisher Plus

Supercharge your anti-phishing defenses with KnowBe4’s PhishER Plus – the final, intelligent layer of protection after your email filters.

PhishER Plus automatically blocks advanced phishing threats that make it past your Secure Email Gateway (SEG) by using crowdsourced global intelligence, AI-driven analysis, and real-time automation.

Advanced Protection for Evolving Threats

  • Legacy email layers often let digital threats reach users – PhishER Plus stops them.

How PhishER Plus Works

PhishER Plus was built as a lightweight SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) solution designed to:

  • Act as a final layer of defense after SEG and standard filters
  • Automatically block phishing emails before they hit inboxes
  • Prioritize and quarantine suspicious messages in real-time
  • Support IR and SOC teams by automating analysis and removal workflows
  • Convert real threats into training simulations (PhishFlip)

Powered by Triple-Validated Threat Intelligence

The PhishER Plus global threat feed is unmatched. It leverages:

  • Global Network – 10+ million trained users and PhishER admins worldwide
  • Machine Learning – PhishML, KnowBe4’s proprietary AI engine trained on threats that other filters missed
  • Threat Lab Intelligence – Human-curated phishing intel from KnowBe4’s in-house researchers

Key Capabilities

Why It Works

Traditional email security tools miss too much. PhishER Plus identifies and removes the phishing emails that your SEG missed — in real time — using a combination of automation, AI, and global intelligence.
