What Is KnowBe4 HRM+?
KnowBe4 HRM+ is an AI-driven Human Risk Management platform built around one idea: your employees are both your biggest cyber risk and, once trained, your strongest defense. It brings together security awareness training, simulated phishing, cloud email security, real-time coaching, compliance training, and AI Defense Agents (AIDA) in a single system that continuously measures and reduces human cyber risk.
Rather than a once-a-year training video, HRM+ treats human risk the way a security team treats any other risk: it is measured, scored, tracked over time, and acted on. Blue Edge deploys, configures, and supports KnowBe4 HRM+ for organizations across Saudi Arabia, from initial rollout through ongoing reporting.

Why Saudi Organizations Need Security Awareness Training
Phishing and social engineering remain the most common way attackers get in, and Saudi organizations are not exempt. As the Kingdom's digital transformation under Vision 2030 accelerates, the workforce — not just the network perimeter — has become a primary target for attackers.
Security awareness training is also increasingly a compliance requirement, not just best practice. The National Cybersecurity Authority's (NCA) Essential Cybersecurity Controls, along with the newer private-sector controls (NCNICC-1:2025), call for ongoing cybersecurity awareness and training programs for staff. KnowBe4 HRM+, deployed by Blue Edge, gives organizations a structured, auditable way to meet that requirement.

What Our Customers Say
The reduction in our Phish-Prone Percentage is directly related to the reduction in risk from a data breach or ransomware attack.
IT Infrastructure DirectorSocial engineering and phishing attacks are the tip of the spear when it comes to cybersecurity. These threats represent the single largest cyber risk to my organization.
CISOMy biggest concern about AI in cybersecurity is the ability for cybercriminals to create more believable phishing attacks that remove many of the "tells" end users could use to identify them.
InfoSec DirectorWe had competing bids for cyber-insurance. Many bids were from companies that in the past refused to cover us but now, because we are working with KnowBe4, our premiums have gone down.
