I have some exciting news: KnowBe4 made it in the Inc 500!
To start off with, a very big thank you to all our customers who understood the need to manage the ongoing problem of social engineering. We appreciate your trust in us, and we'll continue to give you the best service and support we can!
All of us here are thrilled that KnowBe4 has made it in the prestigious Inc 500 list at spot #139. In 5 short years, we have become America’s most popular integrated security awareness training and phishing platform.
We have seen explosive growth for 12 consecutive quarters and record numbers of new corporate accounts. Today, well over 5,000 organization use KnowBe4 to create a their "human firewall". You can see a DARKReading interview with me that explains exactly what we are doing and why.
Our training and simulated phishing platform have been well received by IT managers. Customers are telling us continually that they have created a greatly improved employee security culture using our new-school Kevin Mitnick Security Awareness Training. They feel safer knowing they can better protect their networks against phishing and ransomware infections.
Inc. Magazine’s list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment--its independent small businesses. The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. This is actually my 2nd time on the Inc 500 list, appearing with my prior company Sunbelt Software in 2001 at #409.
The average company on the list achieved a respectable three-year growth of 433%. However, KnowBe4’s growth was over 2,500% over that time period. With Kevin Mitnick’s 30+ year subject matter expertise, we have a big advantage over anyone else out there.
"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”
