Security Awareness Training

With the world's #1 platform for cybersecurity training and phishing simulations, we establish security awareness deep within your organization.

What is security awareness training?

The human layer in Endpoint Security

In addition to implementing the endpoint strategy, end user behavior is by far the biggest lever. NIS2 and cyber insurance companies also see it that way. That's why you need a security awareness training program. Our tool-based security awareness training, which we developed together with a partner, makes safe behavior the natural behavior of your employees.

The highlights are:

  • Meet cyber insurance, regulatory, and certification requirements

  • Based on the world's largest platform for cybersecurity training and phishing simulations

  • AI support in training selection and design of phishing campaigns

  • Who is Security Awareness Training suitable for?

    Without exception, every organization should regularly train for the latest cyber threats — because cyber attacks can destroy livelihoods. Doing nothing is negligent. Our training is just as suitable for smaller companies as for corporations with tens of thousands of users. However, the platform behind the training requires a minimum licensing of 25 users.

    Price-performance ratio

    Greatly improved security

    A cyber attack via endpoints is almost always a combination of the user who made the attack possible in the first place and insufficiently secured endpoints. We are changing the latter with the endpoint strategy. The former with security awareness training.

    Best price-performance ratio

    End users and endpoints are inextricably linked. That is why 80-90% of successful attacks involve the end user. An incredibly big lever. As a preventive measure, security awareness training is much cheaper than, for example, frequently reactive expensive security tools.

    Sustainable behavior change

    Frontal or video training prioritizes compliance with training requirements over actual behavioral changes. Every user has their own behavioral tendencies. The Security Coaching module allows you to train in real time in response to risky behavior. In addition, AI supports the individualization of campaigns.

    2in1: Phishing Simulation + Security Awareness

    Many awareness campaigns focus almost exclusively on phishing. Our solution combines phishing simulations with content for general security awareness with >1,000 interactive modules, videos, games and newsletters. Content is constantly updated with localized content in 30+ languages.

    Custom content

    Every company is individual. With regard to Customer data can meet particularly high IT security requirements. A law firm will set different priorities than a manufacturing company. The content can be expanded with your own content and thus individual security awareness campaigns can be designed.

    Everything you should know about Security Awareness Training

    Every security strategy depends on an often underestimated factor: people. Despite sophisticated technologies and high investments, employees remain the first target for cyber criminals. Phishing emails, social engineering, and other sophisticated methods aim to do just that.

    Security awareness training starts right here. It is not about fear or control — but about education. To build a safety culture that enables everyone to identify risks and act correctly.

    1. What is security awareness training?

    Security awareness training is much more than just handing out rules of conduct once. It is a continuous learning process that enables employees to independently identify everyday security risks and react confidently.

    The focus is not on dry theory units. Rather, it is about making real threats such as phishing, social engineering or malware tangible. The content is practical and tailored to everyday working life — because attacks often take place exactly where no one expects them.

    Good training raises awareness of the small warning signs: unexpected emails, suspicious links, or unusual inquiries. Anyone who recognizes them can nip potential attacks in the bud.

    2. Why every company should rely on security awareness

    Security incidents rarely occur as a result of sophisticated high-end hacks. It is much more often small carelessness in everyday life that open the door to attackers. Clicking on a harmful link or sharing sensitive information is all it takes.

    Security awareness training counteracts exactly this risk. Anyone who is trained questions unexpected emails and carefully checks links before taking action. This turns the “human factor” from a weak spot to an active security barrier.

    In addition, numerous guidelines and legal requirements — from the GDPR to industry-specific standards — require demonstrable measures to raise employee awareness. Security awareness training is therefore not only useful but also necessary.

    3. Elements of successful security awareness training

    Not every workout has the desired effect. Successful programs rely on variety, relevance and repetition.

    Interactive training and e-learning ensure that content is not only heard, but understood and retained. Playful elements such as quizzes or simulations help you apply what you have learned directly.

    Phishing tests and simulations show in practice how easy it is for employees to fall into traps — and how they do it better. Such exercises promote awareness in the long term.

    Gamification and motivation also play a role. Points, badges, or leaderboards increase participation and make learning a positive experience. Regular refreshes are, after all, indispensable. The threat situation is constantly changing. Only those who stay on the ball stay safe.

    4. Implementation and best practices

    Security awareness training only has its full effect if it is cleverly integrated into everyday working life. Rigid, one-off training courses often fizzle out without effect. Instead, modern programs rely on ongoing impulses. Short, regular learning sessions can be easily integrated into meetings, emails, or intranet posts. In this way, the topic remains present without disrupting operations.

    It is also important that Adapting to different target groups. Not everyone needs the same knowledge. While the IT department needs deeper insights, basics are often enough in sales. Role-based content makes training more relevant and effective.

    After all, it counts Success made measurable. KPIs such as participation rates, test results and identified phishing simulations help to make the maturity of the security culture visible — and to constantly optimize measures.

    5. Benefits for companies

    Security awareness training pays off on several levels. The most obvious advantage: Fewer security incidents. Trained employees identify threats more quickly and react appropriately — this prevents damage before it occurs.

    At the same time, training strengthens Competence and personal responsibility of the workforce. Anyone who knows how attacks work feels more secure when dealing with digital tools and data. This not only improves safety, but also productivity.

    Not to be underestimated is also the positive effect on corporate culture. When everyone shows security awareness, a common understanding of responsibility in the digital space is created. This promotes trust and collaboration — both internally and externally.

    Last but not least, a documented training program helps to meet compliance requirements. Audits and certifications such as ISO 27001 are thus significantly easier, or is it even possible to obtain certification in the first place.

    6. Conclusion

    Security awareness training is not a short-term measure, but an ongoing process. Attacks are becoming more sophisticated and the threat situation is becoming more complex. Anyone who relies solely on technical protection mechanisms leaves a crucial gap open: people.

    A well-structured awareness program fills exactly this gap. It creates the basis for a security culture that goes beyond regulations and firewalls. Trained employees identify risks at an early stage, act confidently and actively contribute to the safety of the company.

    Security starts in the mind — and that's exactly where security awareness training starts.
