KnowBe4, the world-renowned platform that comprehensively addresses human and agentic AI risk management, today announced it has been named to G2’s 2026 Best Software Awards, earning the number four spot on the Best Security Software Products list for its Security Awareness Training (SAT) and ranking 30th for PhishER, its anti-phishing and automated threat response product. KnowBe4’s SAT platform was also ranked 37th out of 100 on the Best Software Products list, making it the only SAT vendor recognized in the overall Top 100.
These multiple recognitions reinforce KnowBe4’s mission to help organizations measurably reduce human risk and stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated, AI-driven cyber threats. As the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplace, G2 reaches over 100 million buyers yearly. Its annual Best Software Awards rank the world’s leading software companies and products based on authentic reviews from real users.
“Being ranked among the top security product and as the only SAT vendor in the Top 100 overall, reflects the growing importance of comprehensive human and agentic risk management,” said Erich Kron, CISO advisor at KnowBe4. “Our suite of specialized AI agents provides the automated defense necessary to stay ahead of next generation cyberattacks. We are not just training humans, we are securing the entire ecosystem of humans and agents against increasingly sophisticated, AI-driven social engineering.”
“As buyers increasingly shift to AI-driven research to discover software solutions, being recommended in the ‘answer moment’ must be earned with credible proof,” said Godard Abel, co-founder and CEO at G2. “Our Best Software Awards are grounded in trusted data from authentic customer reviews. They not only give buyers an objective, reliable guide to the products that help teams do their best work, but they’re also the proof AI search platforms rely on when sourcing answers. Congratulations to this year’s winners, including KnowBe4. Earning a spot on these lists signals real customer impact.”
