TAMPA BAY, Fla. (PRWEB)
July 15, 2019

KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced it has partnered with top Washington, D.C. lobbying firm to increase its presence in the Nation’s capital. The goal of this new partnership is to help emphasize the vital role that security awareness training plays in national security.

Matthew Wise created Wise Capital Strategies following 15 years working with and within government entities, including tenures with both the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate branches of The United States Congress. During his career, Mr. Wise has worked on a wide array of issues most notably technology and telecommunications, trade, finance, tax, transportation and infrastructure, and energy policy. Mr. Wise has experience in both political and issue campaigns with extensive knowledge of how to build and guide teams to successful outcomes.

“In addition to our current efforts with Crossroads Strategies, we’re now also working with Wise Capital Strategy to bolster our advocacy efforts,” said Rosa Smothers, senior VP of cyber operations, KnowBe4. “We’re very serious about national security and want to help organizations better train their users to become a human firewall. These partnerships play a pivotal role in turning this goal into a reality.”

The recent H.Res.355 legislation is a step in the right direction and evidence that Congress is starting to recognize the need for security awareness training, as it requires Congress to carry out annual information security training. KnowBe4 stands ready to educate Congress and government officials on a better and more efficient model of training and testing. This is the type of work that KnowBe4 will engage in through its efforts with Crossroads Strategies and Wise Capital Strategy.
