KnowBe4 Human Risk Management now available in Microsoft Store

Thu, 2nd Oct 2025

KnowBe4's Human Risk Management platform is now accessible through the Microsoft Security Store Partner Ecosystem.

The addition of KnowBe4 to the Microsoft Security Store means organisations will be able to procure and deploy the platform more easily, with integration capabilities for Microsoft Security solutions. The goal is to support improved security outcomes and reduce operational complexity for IT and security teams.

Partner ecosystem

KnowBe4 was selected to join the Microsoft Security Store Partner Ecosystem based on its experience with Microsoft Security technologies, collaborative approach to developing new functionality, and its existing relationship with Microsoft. The platform aims to address both human and agentic AI risk management, reflecting trends in cybersecurity where the combination of technology and human behaviour is key.

"We are honoured to be a launch partner for the Microsoft Security Store Partner Ecosystem, which reinforces our commitment to providing customers with seamless, integrated security offerings," said Stuart Clark, Senior Vice President of Product Management at KnowBe4. "This collaboration enables us to deliver our world-class human and agentic AI risk management platform directly through Microsoft's trusted marketplace. KnowBe4's AI powered human risk management in combination with Microsoft Security offerings allows our customers to build a robust cyber defence in depth strategy. This partnership exemplifies how the collective expertise within Microsoft's network drives better security outcomes for businesses of all sizes."

This approach not only connects KnowBe4 with a broader range of customers but also strengthens existing efforts to support security teams with simplified procurement and deployment processes.

Simplified security for organisations

The Microsoft Security Store is designed to present trusted, certified security solutions and AI agents through a centralised marketplace to enable IT and security teams to strengthen their defences. The availability of KnowBe4's Human Risk Management services through this channel provides direct access to security technologies vetted for integration with Microsoft Security products.

"The Microsoft Security Store is designed to simplify and strengthen how organisations approach cybersecurity. By offering a curated selection of trusted solutions and AI agents, we help Security and IT teams quickly find, purchase, and deploy technologies that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Security. With simplified billing, streamlined deployment, and verified integrations, the Security Store empowers defenders to accelerate their response, improve their security posture, and focus on what matters most," said Dorothy Li, Corporate Vice President, Security Copilot, Ecosystem and Marketplace at Microsoft.

The Security Store aims to reduce complexity and support faster adoption by aligning with industry frameworks, facilitating billing, and guiding teams through deployment processes. By participating in the Security Store, KnowBe4 supports organisations in maintaining a security posture aligned to the latest standards and operational practices.

Collaboration and feedback

KnowBe4 is actively collaborating with Microsoft on the ongoing development of the Security Store. This involvement includes providing feedback on new features, integration experiences, and addressing the needs of customers using both Microsoft and KnowBe4 technologies. Certified offerings from KnowBe4 published in the Security Store are positioned to integrate with Microsoft Security products, allowing organisations to more easily discover and implement the tools required for their specific risk management requirements.

"Through the Security Store, KnowBe4 is helping customers accelerate their security outcomes and simplify operations with products that are vetted, easy to deploy, and designed to work together," said the company.

The integration into the Microsoft Security Store allows security teams to access a range of solutions with streamlined procurement and deployment, whether seeking advanced AI agents or management platforms focused on reducing human cyber risk.

Industry context

The Security Store is being promoted by Microsoft as a new benchmark in cybersecurity procurement and deployment. It brings together security solutions and AI functionality in a centralised manner. By doing so, Microsoft aims to support organisations of all sizes in reducing the complexity linked to security procurement, helping teams to adopt newer technologies quickly and maximise the value of their security spend.

KnowBe4's involvement with Microsoft Security Store reflects its focus on blending AI-driven human risk management with existing security technologies, supporting a holistic approach to cybersecurity challenges. The platform includes modules for awareness and compliance training, email security, real-time coaching, anti-phishing, and AI Defence Agents, among others, enabling organisations to improve the security awareness and behaviour of their workforces.

KnowBe4 states that its Human Risk Management platform leverages personalised and up-to-date security content, tools and techniques to strengthen user behaviour against current cybersecurity threats, in alignment with the broader aims of the Microsoft Security Store and its selection of curated solutions.
