of sales for Australia and New Zealand Natalie Burrows as part of its strategy 
to spread its reach throughout the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The Asia-Pacific 
cybersecurity market is anticipated to grow at an overall compound annual

Driven by increasing cyber attacks in APAC, organisations in the region are 
looking for effective ways to mitigate cybersecurity issues such as the ongoing 
threat of social engineering. According to Trend Micro's Cyber Risk Index ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3551008-1&h=1644374975&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.trendmicro.com%2Fen_nz%2Fabout%2Fnewsroom%2Fpress-releases%2F2021%2Forganizations-hit-by-seven-or-more-cyber-attacks.html&a=Trend+Micro%27s+Cyber+Risk+Index 
, one fifth of APAC organisations were hit by seven or more cyber attacks 
throughout the last year. ExtraHop recently found that 83% of organizations in 
APAC ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3551008-1&h=3397212528&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.extrahop.com%2Fcompany%2Fpress-releases%2F2022%2Fcyber-confidence-index-apac%2F&a=83%25+of+organizations+in+APAC 
) suffered a ransomware incident at least once in the last five years.

"The ever-changing cyber threat landscape in the APAC region is driving new 
opportunities for all different types of organisations to make strategic 
decisions that will have a real impact on their security awareness, behavior 
and culture," said Tony Jennings, EVP of International and Global Channel 
Sales. "Nat's immense knowledge and presence in the market, combined with her 
leadership skills will play a major role in growing our presence in Australia 
and New Zealand."

Burrows will be responsible for managing and leading the Direct and Channel 
Sales teams for Australia and New Zealand as well as strategizing to ensure key 
objectives, results and benchmark sales goals are met throughout the year. She 
will help APAC organizations improve their overall security culture and help 
them tackle the largest cause of security breaches -- social engineering. She 
is an experienced sales executive with over 15 years of success in roles such 
as head of corporate sales for Medibank and head of sales for Prosegur 
Australia, among others.

"I joined KnowBe4 as it is unlike any company I have ever worked for," said 
Burrows. "Stu Sjouwerman and the leadership team have done an amazing job in 
building a company culture where our motto of 'Do it right the first time, do 
it fast and have fun while doing it,' resonates throughout the company. KnowBe4 
is the market leader in cybersecurity awareness training.  It has been named 
one of the best places to work year after year and I get the privilege of 
leading a group of successful individuals while growing both the Australian and 
New Zealand markets -- what more could I ask for."
