Credential security leader Dashlane announced a first-of-its-kind integration with KnowBe4 to unify credential protection with human risk management. Dashlane and KnowBe4 convert real-time credential risk insights into targeted training at the exact moment risk appears. This approach strengthens security behavior precisely when organizations need it most.
The Dashlane Omnix platform now integrates directly with KnowBe4 to enhance cybersecurity capabilities. Dashlane highlighted new data showing human risk plays a critical role in credential-based breaches. The data reveals that one-third of corporate logins use weak or compromised credentials outside SSO coverage. These credentials remain unprotected by password managers and invisible to IT and security teams.
“Employees are the first line of defense against attackers, making it critical that enterprises take the opportunity to turn users’ risky behavior into a learning moment,” said John Bennett, chief executive officer, Dashlane. “Dashlane’s unique vantage point in the browser paired with KnowBe4’s wide-array of training content creates a vehicle for organizations to automatically instill a more proactive security posture across their workforce.”
Security awareness training continues to play an important role in reducing phishing risks. However, most programs remain generic and follow fixed schedules instead of reacting to real-time security events. These limitations reduce the overall effectiveness of traditional security awareness training programs. The Dashlane Omnix™ platform integration with KnowBe4 bridges this gap by connecting detection with immediate response. The system detects compromised credentials or phishing attempts and instantly triggers relevant training for affected users.
“Integrating KnowBe4 with Dashlane Omnix took the friction out of improving employee security habits-a significant part of our security posture. It also keeps accountability with the user,” said Scott Holleran, senior vice president of technology, Vertex Service Partners.“My team gets to spend less time on password security and more time focused on building our security program.”
Real-Time Detection and Training Reduce Human Risk
Dashlane and KnowBe4 combine real-time, in-browser detection with immediate contextual training to correct risky behavior instantly. For instance, Dashlane detects the situation where the user types the credentials in the fake site and raises an alert immediately. In this regard, the system will automatically send training to the user via KnowBe4, preventing similar attacks in the future. This is a closed-loop system that minimizes credential leakage and mitigates cybersecurity risks. It also delivers measurable reductions in human risk across organizations without affecting employee productivity.
“Integrating Dashlane’s real-time detection into KnowBe4’s training ecosystem transforms human risk management into a proactive defense layer that can help to prevent credential-based breaches,” said Greg Kras, chief product officer, KnowBe4. “The correlation between detected security risk from Dashlane and the KnowBe4 platform’s capabilities with custom training are building a foundation for a strong security culture.”
The integration provides unmatched visibility into credential-based threats across all employee passwords within the browser. It detects risks whether credentials remain stored inside or outside the password manager vault. The solution also enables real-time remediation by assigning relevant training immediately after detecting a security risk. This contextual learning approach improves employee understanding and strengthens long-term cybersecurity awareness.
Additionally, the integration reduces the burden on IT and security teams by automating detection and response processes. Teams no longer need to analyze numerous alerts because the system triggers targeted training automatically. Dashlane offers this integration through the Dashlane Admin Console for existing Dashlane Omnix and KnowBe4 customers. Customers can enable KnowBe4 and map credential risk signals to specific training programs within the platform. Organizations can quickly turn human risk management into proactive defense against credential-based cybersecurity threats.
