BOULDER, Colo. — August 13, 2015 — BlacKnight Cyber Security International, a leading organization for cyber security expertise and training, has partnered with Knowledge Factor to launch a new learning tool designed to help organizations mitigate their risk of cyber attack.

BlacKnight Cyber Security International (BCSi) leverages its network of cyber security experts and IT associations to provide cyber threat prevention through assessment and recommendation, as well as employee training. Through this partnership, BCSi will incorporate its industry-leading content into Knowledge Factor’s Amplifire learning software – a solution proven to increase knowledge acquisition and retention.

“We have found that employee training is one of the best preventative measures against cyber security threats and attacks,” said D. Scott George, EVP, BCSi. “To keep today’s organizations safe, BCSi is developing tools that not only teach employees the information they need to know, but also ensure that they can remember and apply that information on the job – that’s why we’re working with Knowledge Factor. Knowledge Factor’s state-of-the-art learning technology will propel BCSi curriculum into a league of its own.”

Cyber security continues to rise in priority for organizations of all sizes as costly attacks cause harm. A 2014 PricewaterhouseCoopers survey of more than 500 U.S. executives revealed that 69 percent of respondents were worried about the impact of cyber threats on their organization’s growth prospects. BCSi uses training, assessment, and real-world examples to better prepare companies to handle and react to threats.

“BCSi is made up of the best cyber security experts in the industry,” said Bob Burgin, CEO, Knowledge Factor. “Our software has a track record of success in IT and cyber security training, and we’re excited to see the impact we can make together with this new partnership.”
