What is it?

About KnowBe4

KnowBe4 is one of the Security / EDR / Vuln platforms BeforeQuery connects to. Once linked, the platform's data becomes a first-class source for grounded AI answers and a target for policy-gated agent actions — the same identity, approval, and audit-log guarantees every other integration ships with.

  1. Step 01

    In the BeforeQuery dashboard, go to Integrations → Security / EDR / Vuln and select KnowBe4.

  2. Step 02

    Sign in to KnowBe4 with an account that has permissions to grant BeforeQuery the Security / EDR / Vuln scopes required.

  3. Step 03

How BeforeQuery uses KnowBe4

What the agent does with your KnowBe4 connection

  • 01

    Read alerts, findings, and detections from KnowBe4 into the Context Graph for triage playbooks.

  • 02

    Auto-triage new KnowBe4 alerts — enrich with context, correlate against prior incidents, and route to on-call.

  • 03

    Draft incident reports, containment plans, and post-mortem narratives grounded in KnowBe4 data + your runbooks.

  • 04

    Orchestrate response actions — isolate hosts, quarantine files, revoke tokens — via KnowBe4 write operations.

Use cases

What teams actually do with the KnowBe4 integration

Alert triage + auto-enrichment

Every new KnowBe4 alert gets enriched with Context Graph data: who owns the host, what data lives on it, what recent activity looks anomalous. Analysts open triaged incidents, not raw alerts. Triage volume drops 60-80%.

Anomalous-login response

KnowBe4 detects impossible-travel login → BeforeQuery cross-checks calendar, VPN, and prior login patterns → auto-locks the account if the risk score is high, or asks the user to verify via out-of-band challenge if it's medium.

Incident post-mortem drafting

Post-incident, BeforeQuery drafts the timeline from KnowBe4 events, ticket comments, chat logs, and change-management records. Reviewer edits and publishes; hours of manual reconstruction reduced to minutes.

Answer questions grounded in KnowBe4

Employees and customers ask KnowBe4-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact KnowBe4 record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into Security / EDR / Vuln to check" round-trips.

KnowBe4 — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to KnowBe4.

Yes when scoped. Threat-intel scopes are separated from user-data scopes; incident-response playbooks that need both require approver check-in. Never used for training, never leaves the workspace.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where KnowBe4 supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your KnowBe4 data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every KnowBe4 integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific KnowBe4 objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch KnowBe4 for real.
