Best Security Awareness Training Platforms for 2026 (Compared)

Security awareness platforms differ in the work they handle: training content, phishing simulations, delivery, and reporting. Start with the capabilities your program needs, then compare how employees take part and how your team manages the work.

This guide compares ten options. Doozy is our product, included for teams that want to deliver their own policy training and knowledge checks in Slack.

Security awareness platforms at a glance

These are different approaches, rather than a ranking of effectiveness. Confirm required features, languages, integrations, and licensing with each vendor.

1. Doozy: deliver your policy training in Slack

Doozy lets your team turn policies and procedures into short lessons and quizzes. Administrators build and review the content in Doozy. Employees receive the training and answer questions in Slack.

A simple policy refresher might include:

1. A message explaining a change to your access policy.
2. A quiz asking employees how to respond to an unexpected MFA request.
3. Reminders for people who have not finished the required quiz.
4. A review of completion dates and missed questions to plan follow-up.

What you can do:

• Draft quiz questions from uploaded source material or public web links, then review and edit them.
• Schedule quizzes for selected employees, Slack channel members, or employee groups.
• Combine lessons, tasks, and quizzes in a learning track.
• Set the reminder interval and window for required quizzes. Reminders stop on completion or when the window ends.
• Export completion dates, scores, and answers as CSV files.

Scope: You supply and review the training content. Doozy does not send simulated phishing emails or measure responses to real attacks. Its records support your team's review of training; they do not replace policy acknowledgments or certify compliance.

Pricing: Core covers companies with up to 350 employees and up to three active Tracks. Enterprise supports larger companies and additional requirements. See current plans and billing options.

2. KnowBe4: training content and attack simulations

KnowBe4 combines a security awareness library with simulated attacks and campaign administration. It is worth evaluating when you want vendor-created training and phishing exercises in the same program.

Its reporting covers training and phishing activity. Check which content, reporting, and automation features are included in your chosen subscription. KnowBe4 publishes a plan comparison; additional compliance content is a separate packaging consideration.

Evaluation question: Can your team select, localize, and maintain the campaigns it needs within the proposed plan?

3. Proofpoint ZenGuide: training connected to threat information

Proofpoint ZenGuide provides targeted security education informed by threat and risk information. Proofpoint also offers phishing simulations and assessments.

For a team already using Proofpoint, evaluate how its training and security products work together. Ask which signals determine the training someone receives and which integrations are required for your environment.

Evaluation question: What additional licenses and configuration are needed to connect your threat information to training?

4. Hoxhunt: adaptive phishing training

Hoxhunt focuses on phishing practice that adapts to individual employees. It is a relevant option when your main objective is to help people recognize and report suspicious messages through repeated exercises.

Assess the supported attack formats, employee reporting experience, and follow-up learning. Compare simulation results separately from course completion or quiz scores: they describe different kinds of activity.

Evaluation question: How does the program adjust for each employee, and what can your team see about reporting behavior?

5. SANS: workforce security content

SANS end-user training covers topics such as phishing awareness, data handling, and incident reporting. It can be delivered through supported learning management systems. SANS also offers phishing awareness training.

Evaluate the content against your employees' roles and the systems you already use. Request examples of the modules and reports you would receive, and confirm how your own policies fit into the program.

Evaluation question: Can the content run in your existing LMS, and how will you collect the required completion records?

6. Infosec IQ: role-based awareness training

Infosec IQ offers awareness resources organized around employee roles, alongside phishing simulation. Its training offering includes assessments, dashboards, and reports.

Consider it when finance, HR, IT, and other teams need different scenarios. Ask how audiences are maintained, how custom material is incorporated, and which reporting is available in the proposed package.

Evaluation question: How much administration is needed to keep role-specific training aligned with employee changes?

7. NINJIO: story-based security lessons

NINJIO's training library uses episodes about security scenarios, including phishing, social engineering, and emerging threats. View sample lessons to assess whether the format and tone suit your workforce.

If you also need simulations or broader risk reporting, evaluate those capabilities and their licensing directly. Short content alone does not establish better completion or behavior change.

Evaluation question: How will you combine the episodes with your internal policies, reminders, and follow-up?

8. Huntress: managed security awareness training

Huntress Managed Security Awareness Training combines story-based lessons and phishing simulations with help running the program. Huntress acquired Curricula, so buyers researching Curricula should evaluate the current Huntress offering.

Ask what the managed service handles, what remains with your team, and how reporting works across your organization or customer accounts.

Evaluation question: Which content, scheduling, and campaign tasks will the provider operate for you?

9. Mimecast: awareness training and simulation

Mimecast offers targeted training content, phishing simulations, and reinforcement. Its phishing training forms part of its awareness offering.

It is a relevant shortlist option for teams evaluating training alongside Mimecast email security. Confirm the specific products, integrations, and licenses included in a proposal rather than assuming training comes with every email security subscription.

Evaluation question: How does training connect to your existing Mimecast deployment, and what additional setup is needed?

10. Arctic Wolf: a managed awareness program

Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness includes managed training, phishing simulations, reminders, and access to security expertise.

Evaluate it when you need operational support as well as content. Confirm the awareness service's scope and commercial terms directly; do not assume it is automatically included in another Arctic Wolf subscription.

Evaluation question: What does the service manage, and how will your internal team review and act on its reports?

How to compare your shortlist

Ask each vendor to demonstrate the same employee scenario and administrative workflow:

• Content: Is the material supplied by the vendor, created by your team, or a combination? Who reviews updates?
• Delivery: What does an employee receive, and where do they complete it?
• Simulations: Do you need simulated attacks, policy knowledge checks, or both?
• Follow-up: How are audiences maintained and unfinished assignments handled?
• Reporting: Can you retrieve the completion records, answers, or simulation results your team needs?
• Cost: What does the quote include for your full headcount, required content, integrations, and support?

For Doozy, use one internal policy as the evaluation example. Check the AI draft, Slack delivery, reminder settings, and exported report. The security training page shows that workflow, and the learning guide explains how to build a short training sequence.
