KnowBe4 Inc.
KnowBe4 is a great place to work because "fun" is part of our valued company mission. In fact, the company’s three rules are: 1) do it right the first time 2) do it fast and 3) have fun while you do it. From company outings to in-house celebrations, we are always looking for ways to encourage a positive, thriving working environment and we have a team dedicated to making this vision a reality. Our employees love to work here because they are engaged on a daily basis and valued as stakeholders of our company.
Purpose
KnowBe4, Inc. is a high-growth information security company. We are the provider of the world’s largest new-school security awareness training and simulated phishing platform. KnowBe4 was created to help organizations manage the ongoing problem of social engineering. Tens of thousands of organizations worldwide use KnowBe4’s platform to mobilize their end users as a last line of defense and enable them to make better security decisions, every day.
Vision
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 are not in the pocket of any of the large players. We answer to no one but IT admins in the trenches.
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 admins 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.

Additional Culture Details
At KnowBe4 we are known for our fun, upbeat, and productive work environment! Since our founding in 2010, we’ve quickly grown to over 1,000 employees in 11 countries around the world. Our success is largely due to the work environment we’ve created where employees are actually happy to come to work. We treat our team members as valued stakeholders and we provide a lot of tools to ensure team members are supported at work and at home. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, KnowBe4 currently offers a hybrid working environment to support the health and safety of all employees. Throughout this unprecedented time, KnowBe4 has ensured its vibrant company culture has remained intact. For example, we offer virtual yoga and fitness classes, monthly trivia, and fun competitions throughout the year. We also host multiple virtual wellbeing challenges to motivate our employees to stay fit such as Steptember, Biketober, and our Sizzlin Summer challenge. We offer Class Pass, the world’s largest fitness membership app, that allows employees to attend gym classes and wellness experiences, like a massage or haircut, near home or wherever convenient. We also introduced Peerfit, the Aetna platform that connects companies and their employees to networks of fitness studios, gyms, and streaming services. With this support, it’s no wonder that KnowBe4 receives such glowing reviews and feedback from current and previous employees!
Values
- Radical Transparency
- We practice radical transparency at all levels of the company, starting from the C-Suite. Our CEO, Stu, starts every morning with a 5-to-20 minute company-wide meeting to update employees on the daily happenings of the company -- good or bad. Through radical transparency, we have cultivated an environment of freedom and trust.
