“Q2 has undoubtedly been a trying time for organizations as they shift their workforces to w************* (WFH) and deal with cyber criminals taking advantage of new attack vectors that this new situation has presented,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “KnowBe4 sees these times as an opportunity to help organizations teach their users security awareness when and where they need it most. This quarter, we launched several unique, new tools to help better protect organizations. From a growth perspective, KnowBe4 has continued to gain significant traction with over 33,000 organizations trusting our platform to help them manage the ongoing problem of social engineering.

The new Managed Phishing Campaign feature, also introduced in Q2, simplifies and centralizes phishing campaign management across multiple KnowBe4 accounts from a single interface, especially useful for Managed Service Providers.
