Cohort 1 · SAT-led legacy

Verified 2026-04-27 · Decays 2027-10-27

Three deals. Walk away.

Walk · 01

SMB pure-SAT replacement, low-complexity

Buyer wants training, simulations, compliance modules, cheap, deployed in a week. KnowBe4 Silver or Gold tier is hard to beat. Not Moxso's ICP.

Walk · 02

Locked stack, AIDA renewed in last 12 months

KSAT plus AIDA plus SecurityCoach plus Defend bought together at last renewal. Commercial headroom gone for this cycle. Re-engage 6 to 9 months before next renewal.

Walk · 03

One-vendor-throat-to-choke IT director

Buyer's primary criterion is vendor consolidation. KnowBe4 single-platform SAT plus Email Security plus Compliance reduces vendor count. Architectural argument loses to consolidation preference at this level. Go higher: Security Leader, CFO, board sponsor.
