Security awareness and phishing simulations

Short, regular training and practice phishing emails that teach employees to spot scams and report them.

What it is

Security awareness training shows employees what attacks look like in practice: phishing emails, fake login pages, and urgent requests for money or passwords.

Phishing simulations send realistic but harmless test emails so people can practice. Anyone who clicks is shown what they missed, and the results show which topics need more attention.

Why it matters for small and midsize businesses

Filters are not perfect, and employees are the last line of defense. Short, regular practice builds habits such as pausing, checking the sender, and reporting anything odd, and it works better than a long lecture once a year.

In a small company, one person often handles money, accounts, and email at the same time, so one prepared employee can stop an incident. Insurers and customers also commonly ask whether you provide this training.

Where it fits

Advanced Security includes everything in Fundamentals, plus:

  • Endpoint defense (EDR) Protection on each device that detects suspicious behavior, not just known viruses, and can isolate a compromised computer.
  • Identity and Microsoft 365 security Protecting the logins and settings behind your Microsoft 365 accounts, because stolen passwords are one of the most common ways in.
  • Email security Filtering that catches phishing, malicious attachments, and impersonation before they reach your staff's inboxes.
  • Security awareness and phishing simulations Short, regular training and practice phishing emails that teach employees to spot scams and report them.
  • Device security (disk encryption and USB control) Encryption so a lost laptop does not expose your data, and controls on USB drives that can carry in malware or carry data out.
  • Secure internet / web protection Filtering that blocks dangerous websites and downloads before an employee's browser reaches them.
  • Microsoft 365 cloud backup A separate backup of your Microsoft 365 email and files, because keeping data in the cloud is not the same as having a backup.
