At Persist Security, we recognize that employees are the first line of defense in cybersecurity. To truly safeguard your organization, it’s essential to bridge the gap between technology and human awareness. Our Security Awareness Program is designed to do just that—turning your team into proactive defenders against cyber threats while engaging them in a transformative learning experience.
Unlike generic training, our program is crafted to be dynamic, interactive, and tailored to your organization’s unique needs. Participants don’t just learn—they are inspired and empowered, leaving with a deeper understanding of their role in protecting your digital assets.
Our experts develop training materials aligned with your industry, operational environment, and specific threat landscape.
We employ gamified learning, real-world case studies, and live demonstrations to ensure participants remain captivated and retain key concepts.
Attendees gain hands-on experience in recognizing and mitigating common attacks such as phishing, ransomware, and social engineering tactics.
Employees participate in live scenarios that mimic actual cyberattacks, including phishing attempts, ransomware incidents, and data breaches. This experiential approach ensures that they recognize threats and respond effectively under pressure.
Each session is customized to address the most relevant risks to your organization, from advanced persistent threats to insider vulnerabilities. We ensure that the content resonates with your team’s specific roles and responsibilities.
Our sessions are facilitated by cybersecurity professionals with years of industry experience. They deliver complex concepts in a way that is accessible, engaging, and actionable.
Cybersecurity isn’t static, and neither is our program. We provide continuous updates and refresher courses to keep your team prepared for emerging threats.
Build a workforce that prioritizes security at every level.
Equip employees with the tools to detect and prevent attacks before they cause damage.
Meet regulatory and industry standards with a well-documented training initiative.
Mitigate the impact of human error, one of the leading causes of data breaches.
Our cybersecurity awareness training program consists of targeted modules designed to address the most critical human-factor risks facing modern organizations. Each module combines engaging content with practical exercises, real-world case studies, and measurable outcomes that demonstrate genuine behavioral change.
Phishing Awareness & Simulation: Our flagship module trains employees to identify and report phishing emails, spear-phishing campaigns, and smishing (SMS phishing) attempts. Through regular simulated phishing exercises, we establish baseline click-through rates and track improvement over time. Organizations using our program consistently achieve a 70% reduction in phishing click-through rates within the first six months, dramatically reducing the most common attack vector used by cybercriminals.
Social Engineering Defense: Beyond email-based attacks, employees learn to recognize and resist pretexting, baiting, tailgating, and voice-based social engineering (vishing) techniques. Interactive scenarios teach staff to verify identities, challenge suspicious requests, and follow established verification procedures before sharing sensitive information or granting access.
Password Security & Authentication: This module covers the fundamentals of strong password creation, the importance of multi-factor authentication (MFA), the risks of password reuse across platforms, and best practices for using enterprise password managers. Employees learn why credential security is a critical first line of defense against unauthorized access.
Mobile Device Security: As remote and hybrid work become standard, securing mobile devices is essential. Our training covers safe Wi-Fi usage, app permission management, device encryption, recognizing malicious apps, and the risks of using personal devices for work purposes without proper security controls in place.
Data Handling & Classification: Employees learn proper procedures for handling sensitive data throughout its lifecycle — from creation and storage to sharing and disposal. The module covers data classification levels, encryption requirements, approved file-sharing methods, and the regulatory implications of mishandling protected information including PII, PHI, and financial data.
Incident Reporting Protocols: Fast reporting is crucial to effective incident response. We train employees on recognizing potential security incidents, understanding the reporting chain, using internal reporting tools, and overcoming the hesitation that often delays critical early-stage incident detection. Our goal is to create a security-positive culture where reporting is encouraged and rewarded rather than penalized.
Every module includes pre- and post-assessments, completion tracking, and management dashboards that provide clear visibility into your organization’s security awareness maturity and compliance status.
When your team understands the threats they face and the tools to combat them, your entire organization becomes more resilient. Persist Security’s Awareness Program doesn’t just train employees—it transforms them into an integral part of your cybersecurity strategy.
