CYBERSECURITY SOLUTIONS
Security Awareness Training
Security and Phishing Awareness Training Services
Security awareness training is a structured, ongoing program that teaches employees how to recognize and respond to phishing, social engineering, and other cyber threats that target users rather than systems. Human error, ignorance, and negligence account for the majority of successful breaches, and system users are routinely targeted by social engineering techniques that convince them to let their guard down. A managed training program closes that gap by combining short lessons, simulated phishing, and measurement into a continuous cycle that builds judgment over time.
SWK Technologies delivers security awareness training as a managed service for small and midsized businesses that need consistent, measurable employee training without standing up an internal security education function. You get the curriculum, the phishing simulations, the reporting, and the remediation pathway in a single offering, and the program runs on a continuous cadence rather than as a once-a-year compliance exercise.
What SWK’s Security Awareness Training Includes
- Online security awareness training and testing
- Weekly micro-training updates
- Monthly security awareness newsletters
- Scheduled phishing simulations
- Employee vulnerability dashboard
Security Awareness Training Services
The Security Baseline Phishing and Training service provides in-depth training on data security as well as advice for best practices in protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and sensitive company data. The training is provided in an online format which is both engaging and convenient to staff members.
Security Awareness Micro-trainings
A continuous cycle of assessment, education, reinforcement, and measurement maximizes learning and lengthens retention.
Micro Training helps keep end users aware of IT Security trends and risks every time they use your computers and your network resources.
Security Awareness Newsletters
By presenting important information in a non-technical, conversational tone that appeals to a wide variety of audiences, we make security awareness easy to understand, and fun to read. This helps establish a strong culture of learning and security awareness within your organization.
Simulated Phishing Attacks
Many security incidents occur because the end-user unsuspectingly clicks on a malicious link in an email or on a website. These security incidents can cost your organization time, money, customers, or all of these. The best defense is a good offense – train your employees to look for and avoid Phishing emails.
Simulated Phishing will be setup to automatically send phishing emails to your employees on a defined schedule:
- Collect data on which employees fall susceptible to the Phishing emails and click on what would have otherwise been a malicious link.
- Phishing fail rate will be used in determining the employee’s overall Employee Secure Score (See the Employee Vulnerability Assessment section below)
When an employee clicks on a malicious link, they will be sent to a web page with SWK’s logo that will explain to them what happened, and they will be directed to remedial training.
Employee Vulnerability Assessment (EVA) Dashboard
Simplistic manager reporting allows an organization to easily turn their weakest link into their strongest defense. Modeled after your credit score, end-users (and management) can see how well prepared they are against an actual cyber attack.

During the assessment we scan the dark web for any leaked credentials and passwords for your organization and evaluate the results with you.
Why Your Employees Need Cybersecurity Training
While sophisticated hackers can find ways to brute force breach your systems with zero-day exploits or other gaps in your network security, social engineering is the broadest and most cost-efficient strategy for any attacker. Cybercriminals, nation-state actors and hacktivists all know that people are the one constant in every system, more ubiquitous in placement than Microsoft, Apple or SolarWinds. Only security awareness training gives your employees the knowledge that will complement the tools your business uses to protect yourself from cyber attack.
