Cybersecurity Ventures formulates our own ground-up research — plus we vet, synthesize and repurpose research from the most credible sources (analysts, researchers, associations, vendors, industry experts, media publishers) — to provide our readers with a bird’s-eye view of cybercrime and the cybersecurity industry.

Our sponsor KnowBe4 — provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform — recently announced it has launched a new research arm called KnowBe4 Research, with the branch’s first “Security Culture Report.”
