KnowBe4 Mission, Vision & Values
KnowBe4 Mission Statement
KnowBe4 enables your employees to make smarter security decisions, every day.
KnowBe4 Vision Statement
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 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. We’re not just a different kind of security company, we are a security company that together with you, makes a difference.
KnowBe4 Values
- Do it right the first time.
- Do it fast.
- Have fun while you do it.
