2,000+ security leaders choose Adaptive Security over KnowBe4.

Customers who made the switch mention three things: the quality of the content, how useful employees find it, and how easy the program is to run. Adaptive brings those benefits into a program built for modern attacks: company-specific training, interactive simulations where employees practice responding, and connected visibility into where they need reinforcement. Automated program management and hands-on support make that program practical to launch and maintain.

Adaptive uses AI to create organization-specific training and attacks employees can interact with. Conversational voice personas respond in real time, executive impersonations can be used in simulations, and OSINT helps personalize attacks. These Adaptive Security features sit alongside program automation and connected employee risk visibility in one platform. KnowBe4 also offers AI content creation and orchestration; the distinction is how the capabilities work together and what employees can practice.

Adaptive's conversational AI voice personas respond in real time, so employees can question an urgent request, verify the caller's identity, and refuse to bypass company procedures. KnowBe4's documented native outbound vishing uses recorded or text-to-speech messages and digit-entry tracking; its Deepfake Agent creates educational videos from predefined scripts. Adaptive gives employees practice making the decision, not just recognizing the concept.

Adaptive brings policy-based training creation and executive persona experiences into the same unified platform. Your team can create an editable lesson, customize it around employee responsibilities, and reinforce it through an impersonation scenario. KnowBe4's AI Video Builder requires a separate Synthesia account. Adaptive keeps those creation workflows within the program your team already manages.

Yes. Adaptive's AI Content Studio creates editable training from your policies and prompts. Customize examples around employee responsibilities, company tools, and the procedures people need to follow.

Yes. Once configured, Adaptive automates campaign delivery and follow-up. Employee syncing, dynamic groups, and new-hire campaigns help keep the program current as your workforce and training needs change.

The connected risk view depends on the Adaptive products you use. Email threat intelligence requires Email Security, and AI and SaaS activity visibility requires AI Governance. We'll clarify the scope in your proposal.

Yes. Adaptive AI Governance inspects prompts and pasted content for sensitive information, then coaches or blocks risky behavior. KnowBe4's announced shadow AI extension focuses on discovering AI sites and allowing, warning, or blocking access. Adaptive addresses the next question: not just whether employees can open an AI tool, but whether the information they are sharing complies with your policies. Our AI Governance events can also inform employee risk and targeted training through Adaptive's unified platform.
