Security awareness training that people might actually pay attention to
Most security awareness training is boring, forgotten, and a pain to manage. Huntress Managed SAT takes a different approach: short, story-driven training built by cyber security practitioners, managed by experts, and designed to reduce risk rather than just tick a compliance box.
Built for real life
Your team does not need more dull training videos and your IT team does not need another admin task. Huntress SAT is designed to be engaging for learners and low-effort for administrators.
Managed, not dumped on you
Huntress handles content selection, scheduling, phishing simulations and reporting, so you get the benefit of a proper programme without constant management overhead.
Trusted Huntress partner
We help smaller businesses roll out security awareness training that feels useful, manageable and relevant, without turning it into another admin headache.
Why most security awareness training fails
Most SAT programmes fail for three simple reasons: they are boring, they demand too much management, and they do not reflect the threats staff actually face today.
Boring and forgettable
If training feels like punishment, people click through it and remember very little.
Too much admin
Many platforms still expect you to manage schedules, users, phishing campaigns and reports yourself.
Out of date
Old examples and generic content do not prepare staff for the tactics attackers are using right now.
What Huntress Managed SAT actually gives you
Huntress takes a very different approach. It is designed to be genuinely managed, engaging for learners, and based on real threats seen in the field.
Deploy in minutes
Connect your identity provider, configure branding, and you are done. No messy user imports or weeks of setup.
Actually managed
Huntress schedules training, deploys phishing simulations, chooses relevant scenarios and handles the heavy lifting.
Engaging content
Story-driven episodes with memorable characters make training feel less like a chore and more likely to stick.
Real results
Monthly episodes based on current threats help reduce phishing compromise rates and improve reporting behaviour.
Some of the numbers that matter
Good training should be easy to launch, easy to keep running, and grounded in what actually changes behaviour.
What this means in real life
Most businesses do not need more compliance theatre. They need staff who are more likely to pause, question, and report something suspicious, without turning security training into a miserable experience.
Before
- Staff dread training and click through it as quickly as possible
- Admins spend too much time managing a platform that should manage itself
- Phishing simulations feel random, repetitive or irrelevant
After
- Training is shorter, more engaging and easier to remember
- Huntress handles scheduling, campaigns and reporting
- Staff become more likely to notice and report suspicious activity
Who this is for
This is a good fit if:
- your current SAT feels dull or ineffective
- your team groans every time training is assigned
- you do not have time to manage another platform properly
- you want training that reflects current threats
- you need something practical for compliance as well as behaviour change
This may not be the right fit if:
- you only want the cheapest tick-box training available
- you prefer a fully DIY platform with no managed support
- you are happy for staff to sit through long, forgettable training once a year
- you do not really care whether training changes behaviour
What we often see
Training that feels like punishment
People complete it because they have to, not because it helps them work more safely.
Too much admin for too little return
Someone in IT or operations gets lumbered with another platform that needs constant attention.
Phishing simulations that do not teach much
Campaigns run, but staff are not really learning from them in a way that sticks.
Compliance without confidence
The box is ticked, but nobody is convinced the programme is actually reducing risk day to day.
Why this matters for smaller businesses in Chesterfield and Sheffield
Most smaller businesses do not have a dedicated training admin, a security awareness team, or hours to spare every month managing campaigns. That is why genuinely managed SAT matters.
Huntress SAT makes sense when you want practical staff training, predictable effort, and something that fits real business life rather than adding another layer of admin.
Compliance and measurable improvement
Huntress Managed SAT can support GDPR, PCI-DSS, cyber insurance and SMB1001 conversations, while also helping improve completion rates, phishing reporting and overall security culture.
Compliance support
- GDPR
- PCI-DSS
- Cyber insurance renewals
- SMB1001
What better looks like
- Declining phishing compromise rates
- More suspicious emails being reported
- Faster completion rates
- A stronger security-aware culture
See the training style for yourself
These sample videos give a good feel for the tone and style. This is one of the big reasons Huntress stands out: the content does not feel like someone reading slides at your team.
Sample 1: Passwords
Story-driven, short-form training designed to be remembered.
Sample 2: Password Reuse
Examples like this make the training feel less like a box-ticking exercise.
Sample 3: MFA
Short, memorable content works far better than long lectures.
Sample 4: Phishing
Useful for showing how the tone differs from traditional awareness training.
Sample 5: Smishing
Good content is easier to complete and easier to remember later.
Sample 6: Deepfakes
Training works better when it feels relevant and watchable.
Common questions
About 3 minutes to connect your identity provider and configure preferences. Huntress handles the rest.
No. Huntress cyber security experts manage content selection, scheduling and phishing campaigns, so you are not left running the programme yourself.
Yes. You can create company-specific modules and content where needed, while Huntress handles the core awareness training.
Monthly. New episodes are released based on current threats Huntress practitioners are seeing in the field.
Episodes are short, typically 5 to 10 minutes, which makes them easier to fit into a normal working day than long traditional sessions.
