Clearwater cybersecurity firm closes deal, passes 2,000 employees

KnowBe4, a cybersecurity company specializing in security training for IT teams and an anti-phishing platform, officially closed on their acquisition of Egress, a cloud email security firm. 

The acquisition was announced earlier this spring and includes full integration of approximately 300 employees, putting KnowBe4 staff at just over 2,100 people.

“This acquisition reinforces our ability to fortify global organizations against the ever-increasing amount of human-targeted threats,” says KnowBe4 CEO Stu Sjouwerman in a released statement. “Today marks an important milestone in the evolution of cybersecurity and the next generation of KnowBe4’s human risk management capabilities.”
