OVERVIEW

Reduce Cyber Risks with Employee Security Awareness Training

Most cybersecurity incidents involve human behavior, employees are targeted through phishing, impersonation, and manipulation. Security awareness training reduces this risk by helping employees recognize threats and respond correctly in real situations.

Keepnet supports a continuous security awareness training program focused on practical actions, measurable behavior change, and a stronger security culture across teams.

What Is a Security Awareness Program?
arrow right icon

A security awareness program helps organizations reduce cyber risk by training employees to recognize and respond to threats such as phishing, impersonation, and social engineering. Instead of one-time courses, effective awareness programs combine ongoing training, realistic phishing simulations, and reinforcement to improve employee behavior over time.

HOW WORKS

How Does a Security Awareness Training Program Work?

Keepnet delivers security awareness training as a continuous program, not a one-time course. Training and reinforcement are adjusted by team needs, role context, and risk signals so learning stays relevant and measurable. If you are building a program from the ground up, our complete guide to cybersecurity awareness training for employees covers the steps, topics, and metrics in detail.

1. Assess Cybersecurity Awareness

Evaluate employees' knowledge, behavior, and risk profiles through security culture surveys and phishing simulations to establish a clear baseline.

2. Train Your Employees

Provide training from a large, always-updated security awareness library, using behavioral science methods like nudges and gamification to boost engagement and embed secure behaviors.

3. Promote Phishing Reporting

Encourage employees to actively report phishing attempts, enabling rapid threat response and reinforcing secure behaviors.

4. Generate Actionable Insights

Use outcome-driven metrics, clear dashboards, and executive-level reports to measure effectiveness, demonstrate progress, and support compliance.

Built From Real Attacks Your Employees Actually Receive

Keepnet’s security awareness training program helps organizations reduce human risk by building a stronger security culture and improving everyday employee decisions. Instead of awareness for compliance only, training focuses on practical actions employees can apply during real social engineering attempts.

Keepnet is a cyber security training software and awareness training platform designed for modern threats across multiple channels, including SMS phishing (smishing), voice phishing (vishing), QR phishing (quishing), and MFA fatigue. With simulations, analytics, and reporting, security teams can measure behavior change over time and reinforce safer habits across the organization.

What Should You Ask Before Choosing a Vendor?

When evaluating security awareness training, look for a continuous program (not annual-only), realistic simulations, and reporting that shows measurable improvement over time. Prioritize solutions that support localization, integrate with your environment, and make it easy to automate training campaigns.

Keepnet is built around these requirements, so security teams can run a measurable program and demonstrate behavior change across the organization.

What Is End User Security Awareness Training?

End user security awareness training is training written for the people who use email, chat and business systems every day, not for the security team that runs the program. The audience is every employee, and the measure of success is a safer decision at the moment an attack arrives.

Keepnet delivers end user training as short microlearning sessions in the employee's preferred language. Training can also be delivered over SMS or hosted inside your own LMS through SCORM. Sessions are assigned by role and by risk, so employees who already make safe decisions are not pulled into courses they do not need. That is what keeps a program running all year instead of once a year.

This audience is where breaches start. The human element appeared in 62% of breaches analyzed in the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (p. 12).

What Is Phishing Awareness Training?

Phishing awareness training teaches employees how phishing works, what current lures look like and exactly what to do when one lands in their inbox. A phishing simulation is the test that shows whether the training changed anything. Training without simulation produces confident employees and unmeasured behavior. Simulation without training produces a click rate and no way to improve it.

Keepnet runs both in one platform and across the channels attackers actually use: email, SMS, voice, QR codes, callback and MFA fatigue. This matters because the median click rate in email simulations sits near 1.4%, while phone centric simulations fail at roughly 40% higher rates (Verizon 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report, p. 50). An email only program measures the safer channel and never tests the riskier one.

If you want to see the format before you talk to us, our guide to free phishing awareness training walks through what a first campaign looks like.

How Do You Measure Whether Security Awareness Training Is Working?

Completion rate is the most reported metric and the least useful one. 84% of security leaders track training completion as a top metric (Gartner, "6 Ways to Transform Your Cybersecurity Awareness Program", G00840741, March 2026, 2025 Secure Behavior Strategies Survey, n=65), and yet the human element still appeared in 62% of breaches in the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (p. 12). Finishing a course is not the same as changing a decision.

A program you can defend in a board meeting tracks four numbers over time. Susceptibility, the share of employees who fall for a simulated attack. Reporting rate, the share who report it instead. Time to report, how long the security team waits for the first warning. Repeat mistakes, the people who fail more than once. Keepnet exposes these through outcome driven metrics and executive reports, so the same numbers can be shown every quarter.

For the full metric set and how to present it to leadership, see our guide to outcome driven metrics for security awareness training.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is security awareness training software?

Security awareness training software is a platform that helps organizations train employees to recognize and respond to cyber threats, and then measure and reduce human risk over time. It typically includes a training library (microlearning, courses, quizzes), automated delivery and reminders, simulations to practice real scenarios, and reporting dashboards with KPIs such as reporting rate, time-to-report, repeat mistakes, and completion trends.

How does Keepnet use AI in security awareness training?

Keepnet uses AI to help security teams plan, tailor, and continuously improve security awareness training programs based on real risk and employee behavior. Instead of acting as a chat-only assistant, Keepnet’s AI supports the full training lifecycle, helping define training plans, generate and optimize microlearning content and phishing simulations, and adapt training based on roles, risk signals, and performance metrics such as reporting rates and simulation outcomes. This capability helps organizations reduce training fatigue and achieve measurable behavior change over time.

How much does security awareness training cost?

Security awareness training cost usually depends on the number of users, training scope (library size and frequency), simulation scope (channels and scenarios), reporting needs, localization, and integrations. The best way to compare vendors is to request a quote and confirm what’s included versus add-ons, then compare the “all-in” cost for the same scope (content + simulations + reporting + support). See current plans and per-user pricing on our pricing page.

What should I look for in a security awareness training vendor?

Look for a vendor that helps you run a continuous program and prove improvement, not only track completion. Key criteria include:

  • Behavior change approach: role-based learning, reinforcement (microlearning + nudges), targeted follow-ups for repeat mistakes
  • Measurable reporting: dashboards, outcome KPIs, executive summaries, audit-ready exports
  • Realistic phishing simulations: beyond email where needed (e.g., SMS, voice, QR, MFA-style scenarios) with follow-up learning moments
  • Localization: high-quality multilingual content and regional relevance
  • Integrations: SSO/SCIM, LMS/SCORM support, and APIs
  • Operational ease: automation, simple setup, and fast time-to-value

How often should security awareness training be conducted?

A practical approach is a continuous program: short microlearning touchpoints monthly (or at least quarterly) combined with periodic simulations and refresh training. Frequency should be adjusted based on risk signals and results,high-risk teams may need more frequent reinforcement than low-risk groups.

Is Keepnet Security Awareness Training SCORM compatible?

Yes. Keepnet supports SCORM compatibility so you can deliver training through your existing LMS and track completion and reporting as needed. If you have a specific LMS or SCORM version requirement, confirm the exact format/version your team uses during implementation.

What is a security awareness training program?

A security awareness training program is a continuous cycle, not a single annual course. It combines a baseline assessment of current behavior, role based training, simulations across email, SMS, voice, and QR, a simple way for employees to report suspicious messages, and measurement of how behavior changes over time. A program is judged by whether risky actions fall and reporting rates rise, not by course completion.

What should a cyber security awareness training program include?

At minimum it should include a baseline risk assessment, role based and localized content, phishing simulations across email, SMS, voice, and QR, a reporting button that feeds real incident response, targeted follow up training for repeat clickers, and executive level reporting that connects employee behavior to business risk. SCORM support and integrations with your existing identity and email stack keep the program running without manual work.

Is IT security awareness training different from general security awareness training?

The goal is the same, the depth is different. General security awareness training covers the behaviors every employee needs, such as spotting phishing, handling data safely, and reporting suspicious messages. IT security awareness training adds technical context for teams with privileged access, including credential handling, MFA fatigue attacks, admin account abuse, and social engineering aimed at helpdesk and IT staff. Most organizations run both as role based paths inside the same program.

What sets Keepnet’s security awareness training apart from other platforms?

Keepnet is built to run a continuous, measurable security awareness program, not just deliver one-off courses. It combines training content, realistic simulations, and outcome-focused reporting so security teams can track behavior change over time. Keepnet also uses Agentic AI to support the cycle of plan → create → deliver → measure → improve, helping the right training reach the right people based on role and risk signals.

Note: Keepnet has been named a go-to vendor for stopping deepfake and AI disinformation attacks by Gartner.

What is end user security awareness training?

End user security awareness training is security training aimed at every employee who uses email, chat and business systems, rather than at the security team. It covers phishing, social engineering, data handling and safe reporting, and it is usually delivered as short microlearning sessions across the year instead of one long annual course. The point is a safer decision in the moment, which is why end user programs are measured by behavior such as susceptibility and reporting rate, not only by completion.

What is phishing awareness training?

Phishing awareness training teaches employees to recognize phishing across the channels attackers use, which today means email, SMS, voice calls, QR codes, callback lures and MFA fatigue prompts. It works best paired with phishing simulations, because simulations show whether the training changed behavior. The median click rate in email simulations sits near 1.4%, while phone centric simulations fail at roughly 40% higher rates (Verizon 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report, p. 50), so a program that trains and tests only email leaves the riskier channel untested.

How do you measure whether security awareness training is working?

Measure behavior, not attendance. The four numbers that hold up over time are susceptibility, meaning the share of employees who fall for a simulated attack, reporting rate, meaning the share who report it instead, time to report, and repeat mistakes. Completion rate alone is misleading: 84% of security leaders track training completion as a top metric (Gartner, "6 Ways to Transform Your Cybersecurity Awareness Program", G00840741, March 2026, n=65), while the human element still appeared in 62% of breaches in the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (p. 12).

Can I run phishing simulations without buying the training library?

Yes. Keepnet products can be purchased individually, so you can start with phishing, smishing or vishing simulation on its own and add the training library later. If you already run your own LMS, you can keep it and host Keepnet content inside it through SCORM. Pricing is based on the number of employees, so the quote reflects the modules you actually use.
