KnowBe4 announced the launch of two easy-to-use features, Prevent?s DLP rule builder and misdirected content analysis, offering advanced data protection for all customers. These features are particularly valuable to Small and Mid-Market (SMBs) organizations, delivering enterprise-grade security without the typical premium costs of additional licensing or expensive professional services. With Prevent?s DLP rule builder and misdirected content analysis, organizations can now secure outbound email with ease and without the high price tag.

The new features allow organizations to independently secure outbound sensitive data like Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and financial records. Prevent DLP Rule Builder: Admins can easily create and manage their own rules to block unauthorized emails. They can set smart controls, for example, telling a rule to only block an email if it contains multiple pieces of sensitive data.

This level of control reduces false alarms and helps organizations meet compliance rules like HIPAA and GDPR on their own. Misdirected Content Analysis: The AI-powered feature detects when data is about to be sent to the incorrect person. It provides a context-aware warning to the user before the email is sent, turning a near mistake into a teachable moment.

KnowBe4 Prevent is the only standard outbound security offering that combines high-fidelity data protection (what is in the message) with AI-driven checks on the recipient (who is receiving it). The product redefines outbound email security for SMBs by offering the independent control they previously lacked. With the launch of the Prevent DLP rule builder and misdirected content analysis, KnowBe4 provides a defense that is both powerful and simple to implement.

It uniquely addresses the security gap for SMBs, ensuring that advanced protection of sensitive data is in place while simultaneously building a more secure and aware workforce. These features will be available in June 2026.
