Security gaps during onboarding
Onboarding is a critical period for your attack surface. Too often, assigning KnowBe4 security training is forgotten or delayed by manual processes, leaving new hires vulnerable to phishing.
Main negative impacts:
Increased cyberattack risk
Untrained new employees are prime targets. Every day without training is a risk to your company.
HR administrative burden
Manually assigning training campaigns in KnowBe4 takes valuable time that could be spent on cultural integration.
Regulatory non-compliance
Security audits require every employee to be trained quickly. Manual oversights threaten your compliance status.
Swiftask automates the bridge between your HR tools and KnowBe4. As soon as a new talent arrives, the AI agent triggers enrollment in the required awareness modules.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Manual onboarding
HR waits to receive the list of new hires. They log into KnowBe4, create profiles, and assign campaigns. They sometimes forget a collaborator or delay the process. Security is compromised.
Onboarding with Swiftask
As soon as a new profile is created in your HR system, Swiftask detects the event, queries KnowBe4, creates the user, and instantly launches their training. Zero delay, zero errors.
Automate KnowBe4 in four easy steps
1
STEP 1 : Agent: Define the HR trigger
Create a Swiftask agent connected to your HRIS or ticketing tool to detect new hires.
2
STEP 2 : Skill: Configure KnowBe4
Integrate the KnowBe4 API into your agent to allow user creation and campaign assignment.
3
STEP 3 : Logic: Set business rules
Configure the agent to select the training path based on the collaborator's department or access level.

STEP 4 : Monitoring: Automated supervision
Track KnowBe4 enrollment status directly from Swiftask and receive alerts in case of failure.
