KnowBe4's customer-centric approach to helping organizations enhance their cybersecurity culture while reducing human risk earns it a 5-star rating from CRN

TAMPA BAY, Fla., March 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, has been recognized by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a prestigious 5-Star Award in its 2024 Partner Program Guide. This annual guide provides essential information to solution providers exploring technology vendor partner programs that offer high value and align with their business needs and goals.

The breadth and depth of support and resources technology vendors offer through their partner programs is a critical consideration for solution providers assessing which IT vendors, service providers, and distributors to team with in building world-class technology solutions. Program elements such as financial incentives, sales and marketing assistance, training and certification, technical support and more can set vendors apart and play a key role in boosting their partners' long-term growth.

The 5-Star rating is awarded to the companies that have built their partner programs to go above and beyond in their commitment to nurturing strong, profitable, and successful channel partnerships.

For the 2024 Partner Program Guide, CRN evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

"The 5-star rating from CRN recognizes our unwavering dedication to supporting our partners and their cybersecurity needs," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "Our comprehensive and user-friendly products aim to provide our partners with cybersecurity tools to effectively manage sophisticated social engineering tactics and other evolving cyber threats. We intend to continue amplifying the user and partner experience through both our innovative products and channel investments. Our customer-centric approach and partner-friendly approach has played a significant role in securing KnowBe4's 5-star rating in the 2024 CRN Partner Program Guide."

"This recognition empowers solution providers to discover vendors that keep pace with the evolving requirements of their business and their clients.
