KnowBe4 Giving Back and Having Fun Doing It

KnowBe4 celebrates twelfth anniversary with projects to improve the environment

London, UK: Employees of KnowBe4, provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, knew what they wanted for their company’s birthday: less garbage, and more bees. So, to celebrate its twelfth anniversary, the company will donate to clean up 12,000 pounds of garbage from the ocean and will sponsor 12 beehives in Pinellas County, adding somewhere around 400,000 honey bees to the region.

The beehives have become a new tradition for the company; for its eleventh anniversary KnowBe4, located in Clearwater, FL, donated funds to the Pinellas Beekeeper’s Association to purchase and maintain 11 full honeybee hives. (For its tenth anniversary the company had 10,000 trees planted worldwide to mitigate environmental threats.)

UK shoppers can say goodbye to the wild west Finally a new marketplace for risk free buying and selling

In tough economic times, more and more people are looking to buy second-hand products online. And that’s great in principle: they can save themselves some money, discover tech they couldn’t normally afford – and it’s better for the planet.

But online can be a lawless and risky place. On Black Friday, 1 in 5 of all products listed on all marketplaces were thought to be fraudulent [1]. And eBay alone generates 60 million disputes a year [2].

The mobile phone segment is not immune. It is plagued by fake brands, stolen handsets, and shiny phones bodged together with iffy parts and last-gasp batteries.
