KnowBe4‘s latest acquisition is MediaPro, a security and privacy training solutions company. It will help KnowBe4 expand in the security awareness training market.

MediaPro‘s security and privacy training solutions are used by organizations of all sizes. With this training, organizations protect sensitive data, demonstrate compliance, and reduce the risk to their reputation and bottom line.

Through the KnowBe4 acquisition, MediaPro’s customers will get access to KnowBe4’s security awareness training and simulated phishing platform. Moreover, the acquisition allows KnowBe4 to offer its customers a larger amount of privacy and compliance training modules.

KnowBe4 isn’t saying how much it is paying for MediaPro.

“This acquisition presents KnowBe4 with a great opportunity to provide our customers with an abundance of engaging privacy and compliance training content that will benefit their organizations,” Sjouwerman said. “This is also an opportunity to provide MediaPro’s solid enterprise-level customer base with even more of the award-winning security awareness training content that KnowBe4 currently offers.
