Security Awareness Training

Security awareness training teaches employees to recognize and avoid common cyber threats — phishing emails, social engineering calls, suspicious links, password mistakes, and risky data handling. The reason it matters: even with strong endpoint protection, email security, and a SOC, the vast majority of successful attacks still start with an employee clicking something they shouldn't. Training is the single highest-leverage investment for most small and mid-sized businesses because it addresses the attack vector that technology alone can't fully close — human error.

Simulations are carefully designed to teach, not embarrass. Coro sends realistic but harmless test phishing emails — fake delivery notifications, fake password reset requests, fake invoice attachments — and tracks who clicks. Employees who fall for them aren't called out publicly; they get a short, friendly training module right in the moment that explains what they missed. Over time, click rates drop dramatically as employees recognize the patterns. The whole program is framed as "let's get better together," not "let's catch people doing wrong" — and that framing matters for buy-in.

Modules are short — typically 3 to 7 minutes — and designed to fit into a normal workday. Most clients run an initial onboarding sequence (about an hour total spread across a week or two), then monthly micro-learning campaigns that take five minutes a month. Phishing simulations happen in the background without any employee time investment. The ROI on time spent is high: a single avoided ransomware incident saves orders of magnitude more time than the entire training program costs.

Both are solid, and the choice often comes down to which platform you're already using. Coro SAT is part of the Coro modular platform — if you already have Coro Endpoint, Email, or Cloud App Security, training plugs into the same dashboard, the same user directory, and the same reporting. Huntress SAT is part of the Huntress managed security suite — if Huntress is already running your SOC and managed EDR, their training integrates with that. Content quality is comparable; the differentiator is platform consolidation. We'll recommend whichever fits your existing stack during a free assessment.

Yes, and it's often required. Most cyber insurance carriers now require documented security awareness training as a condition of coverage or for preferred premiums. Compliance frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and NIST CSF explicitly call for it. Coro's reporting generates the documentation insurers and auditors ask for — training completion rates per employee, phishing simulation results over time, and risk scores by department. We help you map the program to your specific insurer's or auditor's requirements.
