KnowBe4 empowers employees at organizations worldwide to make smarter security decisions every day.

Who We Are

At KnowBe4, we’re happy to go against the grain. We don’t turn out bloatware year after year, and we work with far more than just the bottom line in mind.

We’re a team of free-thinking techies who look at IT security issues a little differently. Where other IT security companies may value profits, we value security — helping organizations reinforce their human firewall and build a stronger security culture.

Our Rules

Do it right the first time.
Do it fast.
Have fun while you do it.

We work like that because we think it’s the only way to go. We believe that only with community can you effectively secure your domains. We believe that as IT pros, we need to hang together because if we don’t, we will fall alone.

We support and stand behind the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. All human beings should be treated with decency, kindness and respect.

KnowBe4 in 30 Seconds

Forrester Research has named KnowBe4 a Leader in Forrester Wave for Security Awareness and Training Solutions for several years in a row. KnowBe4 received the highest scores possible in 17 of the 23 evaluation criteria, including learner content and go-to-market approach.

KnowBe4 is the world’s first and largest New-school Security Awareness Training and simulated phishing platform that helps you manage the ongoing problem of social engineering.

We also provide powerful add-on products like PhishER and SecurityCoach to prevent bad actors from getting into your networks and extremely popular compliance training that saves you significant budget dollars.

The KnowBe4 platform is user-friendly and intuitive. It was built to scale for busy IT pros who have 16 other fires to put out. Our goal was to design the most powerful, yet easy-to-use platform available.

Customers of all sizes can get the KnowBe4 platform deployed into production twice as fast as our competitors. Our Customer Success team gets you going in no time, without the need for consulting hours.

We are proud of the fact that almost 50% of our team are women, whereas the average number of women in cyber security teams is just 20% of employees.
