KnowBe4 signs partnership agreement with BlueFort Security

UK-based cybersecurity company BlueFort Security has signed a new partnership agreement with KnowBe4, a provider of security awareness training and simulated phishing platform.

Under the terms of the agreement KnowBe4 will become BlueFort Security’s preferred security awareness training partner, further expanding BlueFort’s cybersecurity solutions which address key areas of cyber risk including end-point protection, discovery and classification, and identify and access management. In addition, KnowBe4 will become a core value-add offering within BlueFort Evolve, a cyber-focused services package.

“This is a very exciting partnership for KnowBe4, and we look forward to working with BlueFort to deliver our security awareness training and simulated phishing platform to even more organisations across Europe,” said Tony Jennings, EVP of international and global channel sales, KnowBe4. “This new partnership provides us with endless new opportunities to help organisations better manage the ongoing problem of social engineering.”

Dave Henderson, CEO, Sales and Marketing, BlueFort Security commented: “The impact of the past two years’ disruption caused by COVID-19 has forced organisations to look differently at their cybersecurity needs. The combination of an increasingly mobile workforce and a worsening cybersecurity skills crisis has created a perfect storm for cyber criminals to do their worst. KnowBe4 is an important addition to our portfolio because it will help our customers tackle cybersecurity at the grass roots level.”
