Keepnet’s FY25 Partner Summit & Channel Awards: Strengthening Cybersecurity Alliances

Cybercriminals are evolving faster than ever, leveraging social engineering and generative AI to bypass even the most advanced defenses. According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025, 72% of organizations report an increase in cyber risks, with ransomware and phishing topping the threat list. 47% of organizations say generative AI is driving more sophisticated and widespread cyberattacks. In 2024 alone, 42% of businesses experienced phishing or social engineering incidents.

At Keepnet, our focus remains clear: enable people, not just technology, to become your strongest line of defense. That’s why we’re hosting the FY25 Partner Summit & Channel Awards on June 12, 2025, in Cobham, Surrey — a day dedicated to exchanging insights, recognizing success, and building unified strategies against human-targeted threats.

Why We Host the Partner Summit: Purpose Behind the Event

The Partner Summit & Channel Awards isn’t just a celebration—it’s a strategic initiative. At Keepnet, we know that cyber resilience isn’t built in isolation. It’s forged through consistent collaboration, shared learning, and practical action. That’s why we bring together our most committed partners each year—to align on what matters, sharpen our collective impact, and raise the bar for human-focused cybersecurity.

Our goals for the FY25 summit are clear:

• Strengthen collaboration: Facilitate direct conversations that uncover challenges and spark new solutions.
• Recognize real impact: Honor the partners who have delivered measurable outcomes through Keepnet's platform.
• Share what works: Spotlight effective awareness campaigns, simulation strategies, and adoption models.
• Shape what’s next: Gather insights that inform our roadmap, ensuring our tools stay ahead of evolving threats.

By focusing on real-world execution and feedback, the summit ensures that what we build is shaped not just by innovation, but by field-tested experience.

Why It Matters: Elevating Human-Centric Cybersecurity

Modern cybersecurity challenges demand more than just technical defenses - they require people who can recognize and respond to threats confidently. According to the Verizon DBIR 2025, human error was a contributing factor in 60% of breaches, but organizations that implemented training saw a 4x increase in user reporting of threats.

That's why Keepnet focuses on building solutions that empower employees as the first line of defense.

The FY25 Partner Summit supports this mission by reinforcing how Keepnet’s Human Risk Management Platform helps organizations create safer digital environments through:

• An AI-powered Phishing Simulator that offers customized scenarios based on real threats and user behavior
• Security Awareness Training that adapts to different roles across the organization for greater impact
• Simulation tools like the Smishing Simulator and Vishing Simulator to address evolving social engineering tactics
• The Incident Responder, which helps teams identify and analyze email threats 48.6 times faster, reducing exposure time and strengthening defenses

These tools are designed not just to educate, but to build lasting behavioral change — ensuring that threats like QR code phishing and voice scams are recognized and avoided in real-world situations.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Summit Experience

Keepnet’s FY25 Partner Summit & Channel Awards is designed for hands-on learning, meaningful conversations, and shared momentum. To make the most of it, bring:

• Comfortable clothing for the paintball session
