KnowBe4 Careers, Benefits, Review

KnowBe4 recognizes the value of building a diverse team that draws on different backgrounds and experiences. KnowBe4 founder and CEO, Stu built KnowBe4 with the knowledge that the people are the foundation of its success. KnowBe4 is committed to advancing diversity, inclusion, and belonging initiatives in our organization, industry, and world.

At KnowBe4, promoting diversity and inclusion is a three-fold process: building, educating, and respecting. 

Building diverse workforces and the accompanying knowledge bases to support our employees, from training our recruiting staff and infusing culturally appropriate measurements to building and re-evaluating our onboarding materials so they represent our growing, diverse team.

Educating against bias, discrimination, and inequality. This begins with a commitment from our entire executive team to support and listen to the members of our Employee Resource Groups while allowing these groups to help shape and guide KnowBe4’s company culture, policies, and philanthropic efforts.

Respecting diversity and all of the intersections of identities that make us who we are. This respect focuses on how we are able to elevate these conversations all year long. The moment we are able to come together and learn through mutual respect enables trust to be built.

See Us in Action

At KnowBe4, we recognize that we are in the early stages of the diversity journey and still have many great strides to take. Because of our dedication, we've already seen the results of our early diversity initiatives. KnowBe4 is ranked the Best Workplaces for Women by Fortune Magazine, so it is no wonder that almost 50% of our team are women, whereas the average in cybersecurity is just over 20% of employees.

In addition to cultivating an environment where employees of all backgrounds feel welcomed, we also recognize the importance of giving back to our community and doing our part to ensure underrepresented groups have an equal opportunity for success. Every year, we offer over $45,000 in scholarships to Black Americans, women, women of color, U.S. military and veterans to ensure that any individual, regardless of their background, has the chance to succeed in cybersecurity.

KnowBe4 strives to be an organization where all employees feel seen and accepted. We support our employees, whether it’s marching in our local pride parade, attending diversity-focused recruiting events, offering benefits for working parents, or adhering to a “no door” policy where employees can voice concerns directly to senior leadership. As we continue to implement our diversity initiatives, we hope to make a powerful impact both within and outside of KnowBe4.

Hear About Our ERGs

KnowBe4 has six Employee Resource Groups: Black Knowsters Network, Knowsters Parents, LGBTQIA+, Military and Veterans Resource Group, Women in Tech, and Vamos. Our resource groups are dedicated to ensuring each employee has a safe space where they can connect with like-minded individuals and find their community. Their overall goal is to support, guide, and empower people both within and outside of KnowBe4. This is how they describe the value that our ERGs brings: 

“The Black Knowsters Network has provided a sense of community for me. Having a group of people with similar backgrounds and interests gives me a chance to receive and provide guidance and feedback on personal and professional goals.” 

- Larry, Black Knowsters Network

“By supporting our LGBTQ+ employees, we are also able to impact change both internally and externally for a more equal and inclusive environment."

- Jeff, LGBTQIA+ ERG

“By leading the Women in Tech ERG, I feel like I am making a real difference in helping to close the gender gap for women in technology. I look forward to watching the growth of women around me, in this beautifully diverse, cultural environment."

- Brittany, Women In Tech

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.
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 you can effectively secure your domains.
We believe that as IT Admins we need to hang together, because if we don’t we will hang alone.

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

Gartner has positioned KnowBe4 highest and furthest overall in the Leaders’ Quadrant for our ability to execute and our completeness of vision in the 2019 Magic Quadrant for the Security Awareness Computer-Based Training (CBT) market. This is the third consecutive year KnowBe4 has been recognized as a Leader in this report.

KnowBe4 is the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform that helps you manage the ongoing problem of social engineering. 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.

Diversity is important to us and we’ve set out to build an environment where everyone can be comfortable. We mean diversity in even more ways than the typical scene; here you can see outer and inner diversity. The relaxed office allows everyone to truly be themselves and this can be seen in the unique decorations adorning desks or the wide range of clothing styles worn; everyone is free to express who they are.

KB4 ETHNICITIES

At KnowBe4 we are dedicated to removing biases from the hiring process and giving all candidates an equal opportunity, regardless of ethnicity. 

KB4 WOMEN

KnowBe4 is ranked #2 Best Small and Medium Workplaces for Women by Fortune Magazine, so it is no wonder that almost 50% of our team are women, where the average in cybersecurity is just 20% of employees. We also aim to encourage more women to enter the cybersecurity profession by providing a $10,000 scholarship and internship for a woman pursuing a cybersecurity-related degree.

KB4 PRIDE

From supporting community organizations dedicated to celebrating pride, to marching in our local pride parade, we wear pride on our sleeves and cultivate an environment that encourages all of our employees to show who they really are. We also have an LGBTQ+ employee resource group which is designed to support the LGTBQ+ members of KnowBe4.

KB4 VETERANS

KnowBe4 has a strong veteran workforce. We are committed to helping our veterans transition into civilian life and we help our military members who continue to serve part-time by providing paid military leave. We also offer an employee resource group for veterans so they have a safe and comfortable environment to seek advice from others who may understand their problems. At KnowBe4, we recognize and value the unique experience that our veterans bring to the table, as a result veterans have historically been promoted 39% faster than non-veteran employees.

KB4 FAITH

We are proud to welcome people of all faiths into our team. We adhere to a “No Politics or Religion” rule in the offices as we believe no one wins in these sorts of debates. 

KnowBe4 is the world’s most popular integrated platform for security awareness training combined with simulated phishing attacks. Join our more than 30,000 customers to manage the continuing problem of social engineering.

Let’s define the term 'Social Engineering'. Social Engineering is the art of manipulating, influencing, or deceiving you in order to gain control over your computer system. The hacker might use the phone, email, snail mail or direct contact to gain illegal access. Phishing, spear-phishing, and CEO Fraud are forms of social engineering.

KnowBe4 uses a 3-step 'new-school' awareness training program:

1) Send every employee a simulated phishing attack and see what the Phish-prone (click-happy) percentage of the organization is.

2) Step all employees through interactive, on-demand, engaging training through their browser.

3) Send frequent simulated phishing attacks to keep them on their toes with security top of mind!

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.

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.
