Roger Grimes worked at some of the world’s largest computer security companies, including Foundstone, McAfee and Microsoft. Grimes holds a bachelor’s degree from Old Dominion University. He has been the weekly security columnist for InfoWorld and CSO magazines since 2005.

“With social engineering being a factor in 93 percent of all successful data breaches, I believe that working on any other problem in the security industry would be an inefficient use of my time,” said Grimes. “This job allows me to pursue my biggest passion in the cybersecurity industry of promoting a culture that supports data-driven defense. I look forward to working with Stu and the KnowBe4 team to help drive the company’s ultimate vision.”
