[New Research] KnowBe4's Report is a Call to Action for Global Organizations to Improve Their Security Culture

KnowBe4’s 2024 Security Culture Report summarizes insights from 800,000 employees across 4,078 organizations in 18 industries, finding a global security culture score of 72 (low to moderate), with smaller organizations generally scoring higher and ‘Behaviors’ being the only dimension where large organizations lead. The report notes AI has not changed the core structure of attacks, though it may enhance social engineering, underscoring the need to strengthen the human layer. Regional highlights show varied maturity, with financial sectors in North America leading and government, manufacturing, and education lagging, and an overall call for sustained investment in security culture across business units.
