Port53 Receives KnowBe4's 2022 Americas Partner Program Award for Top Product Attach Partner

NEW YORK, April 28, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Port53 Technologies, a leader in cloud-based cybersecurity and intelligence, today announced it has received the Top Product Attach Partner award from KnowBe4 as part of the 2022 KnowBe4 Americas Partner Program Awards during its annual KB4-CON event. 

This awards program recognizes the top KnowBe4 channel partners regionally for sales growth and excellence. They highlight organizations that evangelize the human factor of security and implement marketing innovation.

Port53 focuses on solving the cybersecurity challenge for customers of all sizes, emphasizing that building cultures of cyber-awareness and training are as important as having robust security technology stacks. KnowBe4 is the world's largest integrated platform for awareness training and simulated phishing attacks. This partnership plays a vital role in enabling Port53 to achieve its mission. In receiving KnowBe4's Partner of the Year award, Port53 also acknowledged that the right tools in the hands of trained professionals are another critical brick in building awareness and ownership.

The security awareness leader, KnowBe4, also earned a place in the top right quadrant of the Forrester Wave and continued to improve upon its suite of anti-phishing products. Offerings such as PhishER, PhishAlert, PhishRip, and PhishFlip help organizations protect users against phishing, spear-phishing, keylogger, and brute-force attacks. In addition, the company runs phishing simulations for clients that do not have their own staging environments, simultaneously working to educate and protect end users while mitigating the effects of a continually evolving threat landscape.

"Port53 believes everyone in an organization is responsible for its digital assets," said Omar Zarabi, Port53 Technologies. "We are delighted to receive this award, which we see as recognition of our ongoing efforts to build a culture of cyber awareness among our clients and across the wider industry. Unfortunately, the data shows us that today the average employee is commonly the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain. We can get one step closer to solving the cybersecurity problem through training and awareness. This is why we continue to partner with like-minded organizations such as KnowBe4. Through such alliances, we can ensure our clients have all the tools they need to stand up to the modern threat actor and keep themselves safe."

"We are very excited to recognize the winners of our 2022 Partner Program Awards from the Americas," said Tony Jennings, EVP international & global channel sales, KnowBe4. "Each one of these partners continues to demonstrate their commitment to not just delighting their customers, but enabling employees everywhere to make smarter security decisions, every day. We value all of our global partners, but this group of honourees has demonstrated a level of excellence worth celebrating."
