Who We Are

KnowBe4 Philosophy (Updated January 3, 2023)

We are happy to go against the grain. We’re not a company that turns out bloatware year after year. We don’t work with only the bottom line in mind. And we feel fine with all that.

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, well…security, and a strong human firewall. We help you build a strong security culture. 

Our rules are: “Do it right the first time, do it fast, and 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 hang alone.

At KnowBe4, 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 is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. All human beings should be treated with decency, kindness and respect.

We’re not just a different kind of security company, we are a security company that together with you, makes a difference.

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

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

“The adage is true that the security systems have to win every time, the attacker only has to win once.”
— Dustin Dykes.
