Connect VMRay’s evasion-resistant malware analysis with KnowBe4 to automatically analyze reported emails, cut through noise, and respond to real threats in minutes, not hours.
Your employees are trained to spot suspicious emails with KnowBe4.
Now, connect that human firewall to VMRay’s trusted malware and phishing analysis platform.
Every reported email can be automatically analyzed in a sandbox built to defeat evasive threats—giving your SOC clear, high-confidence verdicts and deep forensic insights.
Employees forward suspicious emails. Analysts are left sorting through false positives. With the VMRay–KnowBe4 integration, every reported message is automatically enriched with:
✔ Detonation-based malware analysis in a fully isolated, evasion-resistant sandbox
✔ URL and attachment analysis to uncover hidden payloads & redirects
✔ Clear, machine-readable verdicts
Security teams are drowning in “suspicious” emails. Most are harmless, and a few are truly dangerous. The integration helps you:
✔ Triage at scale: Automatically analyze reported emails and prioritize what’s truly dangerous
✔ Eliminate manual deep-dive steps: No more copying samples into separate tools
✔ Reduce alert fatigue: Analysts see a concise risk score and summary,
When real phishing attacks are uncovered via employee reports:
✔ Customize simulations based on actual tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)
✔ Show employees the impact of their reports with concrete “this was a real threat” examples
Users click Phish Alert or your configured reporting mechanism.
The reported email — including headers, body, URLs, & attachments is pulled by VMRay for automated analysis.
VMRay detonates attachments and follows links in an evasion-resistant sandbox to reveal behavior that traditional tools often miss.
VMRay sends back a clear verdict, risk score, and rich forensic data, which can be displayed or used in your KnowBe4 workflows / SOAR / SIEM.
Auto-close benign reports, escalate malicious emails for immediate response, and trigger playbooks for containment, blocking, and user notifications.
Key Benefits
✔ Confidently distinguish between benign, simulated, and truly malicious emails
✔ Reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR)
✔ Gain deep visibility into complex malware and phishing campaigns
✔ Integrate analysis results with your SIEM/SOAR for automated response
Key Benefits
✔ Use real-world attacks to design better phishing simulations
✔ Measure training effectiveness against live campaigns
✔ Engage employees with meaningful feedback on their reports
Key Benefits
✔ Turn awareness into measurable risk reduction
✔ Demonstrate improved detection & response metrics
✔ Strengthen your overall email security stack without increasing headcount
Your users report hundreds of suspicious emails daily. VMRay automatically analyzes them and flags only the ones that matter, with full behavioral context.
Attackers embed payloads that only execute under specific conditions. VMRay's behavior-based analysis reveals these threats—even when traditional tools are blind.
Links in reported emails are detonated and followed in a safe environment, exposing credential harvesting pages, redirects, and active malware hosts before any user is compromised.
Every real attack your users spot becomes a data point to strengthen future KnowBe4 campaigns, aligning simulations with actual adversary behavior.
Yes. Whether you receive dozens or thousands of reported emails per day, VMRay scales with your volume and helps your team focus on what matters.
Yes. The integration is designed for organizations using KnowBe4 for security awareness and VMRay for advanced threat analysis.
Analysis is performed within your VMRay deployment (cloud or on-premises, depending on your license and configuration).
Yes. VMRay’s APIs and integrations allow you to forward verdicts and IOCs into SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing systems to drive automated response workflows.
