KnowBe4’s Year-Over-Year Sales Skyrocket 50% Over Q2 2019 for Another Record-Breaking Quarter

KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced a significant year-over-year sales increase surpassing all previous records. In the Second Quarter of 2019, KnowBe4 has reached an impressive 50% over Q2 2018 along with increasing customer accounts to over 26,000.

The 25th consecutive quarter of explosive growth has been driven by an increase in demand for KnowBe4's new-school approach, accompanied by rapidly expanding security awareness training content portfolio. The demand continues to grow globally as KnowBe4 increases its worldwide expansion with the acquisition of CLTRe, cementing its presence as Europe's leading security awareness training and phishing platform. CLTRe helps raise an organization's cultural security awareness from phishing attacks, turning employees into a "human firewall" capable of recognizing cyber threats. More info here.

Leading global investment firm KKR also recognized KnowBe4's highly successful approach to security awareness training by making a sizable investment in the company in the second quarter of 2019. KKR's investment, with participation from TenEleven Ventures, elevates KnowBe4's valuation to over $1 billion. The investment from KKR reaffirms the demand for security awareness training as the last line of defense.

"We are extremely proud of achieving our billion-dollar valuation," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "Only one percent of the companies who are founded get backed by venture capitalists. And only one percent of those companies earn a billion-dollar valuation. This milestone recognizes the importance of having new-school security awareness training as phishing attacks have increased, along with the consequences of falling victim to CEO fraud, ransomware, and spear phishing attacks."

Other recent and notable milestones and awards for Q2 2019 include:

Sjouwerman continued, "The growth in the European market has led us to the acquisition of CLTRe, which will add another layer of resources to help our customers create a secure organizational culture. We're also planning to expand KnowBe4 into new markets where we see a need for this kind of training, such as Japan, Dubai, and Australia."
