**Thanks to our partner, [KnowBe4](https://www.knowbe4.com/)for this guest blog about being aware and staying safe from hackers during the COVID-19 pandemic. **

**Did you know that cyber criminals have ramped-up phishing attacks over 667% in the month of March alone?**

With cybercriminals in a feeding frenzy, it's super-important to conduct phishing training during this time. Make sure that your users are prepared. It's better to "fail safe" and direct your users to a learning moment than to have an employee click on a real phishing email and have your entire organization experience a breach.

**Keep Calm and Don’t Click. We’re all in this together.**

Hear a special message from KnowBe4's Chief Hacking Officer Kevin Mitnick on straight-forward talk to help you stay safe while working at home from phishing attacks and what to watch out for.
