WHO WE ARE

About Fable Security

Fable Security delivers the human risk platform that directly shapes employee behavior. Designed for simplicity and enterprise scale, our agentic platform synthesizes complex employee data, pinpoints risky behaviors, and deploys highly-relevant interventions to people automatically, in real time, right where they work.

Our take on KnowBe4

KnowBe4 doesn’t just struggle to change behavior, customers can’t even get timely, accurate phishing simulation or awareness training content out the door. The company’s rigid, outdated templates can’t be easily customized to real policies or risks, forcing teams to send corrections after the training instead of driving meaningful impact.

What our clients say about us

More than 100,000 pieces of direct feedback to-date; 4.8/5 average rating.

“Excellently done! Great job InfoSec! This video was very well made and very clearly heard too.”

“Was this training for datadog/splunk targeted to me specifically because I access those tools a lot? If so, this is awesome. Easy to get started for sure. Clicked the link in slack and off I go.”

“This is a wonderful start to a series that builds knowledge of the organization about these threats and how they impact us all.”

Many thanks for another useful, concise, and super-helpful security tip! Happy holidays and thank you for all your team does!”

“I liked the clear, crisp and to the point approach. Far superior to any other training we've had at BILL.”

“Thank you for providing this training! Very concise and relevant information and a good reminder to stay on my toes when opening emails :)”

“My name pronunciation was Perfect! I didn't expect and was pleasantly surprised by it. I have to say, it also got my attention immediately to the video :)”

“okay - I'm sharing this information far and wide with family & friends..”

“Liked the visual and the real time examples. Loved that I wasn't forced to read or flip through pages. Love that it is brief and digestible, unlike those hour long modules”

“Preferred name and pronunciation was correct. I learned something new. I like that the videos are shorter and it's easier to focus and retain small pieces of info vs. an annual much longer training. This will keep employees up to date throughout the year.”

“This is amazing!! I was looking into adding splunk monitoring for my current project's background processes and this is a great reminder to me on being mindful what exactly is the right data to add metrics for and to never log customer sensitive data. This video would absolutely be on my mind and I am developing new code”

“Thank you, much needed information to refresh how to not be a victim.”

“That was one of the best ways it was ever explained to me. I hope everyone else feels that way”

“The name personalization in the video is a nice touch! I like that the video is short, specific to a particular topic and references BILL. Also, the video has a modern look and feel with an engaging speaker.”
