Cybersecurity Awareness
The average cost of a phishing-related breach is $4.88 million, and it often starts with a single click. Most cybersecurity training tells employees what to do. It doesn’t prepare them for the moments when decisions actually happen.
Traliant’s Cybersecurity Awareness Learning Topic includes a cinematic, story-driven experience designed to change how employees respond in real-world situations, not just what they know, helping employees recognize risks earlier, respond correctly and build habits that last.
Covered concepts
- Phishing and social engineering recognize manipulation tactics and avoid credential theft
- AI-enabled threats and deepfakes identify emerging risks and verify authenticity before acting
- Password security and multi-factor authentication prevent unauthorized access
- Insider threats and data protection reduce risk from everyday mistakes and misuse
- Remote work and internet security stay secure across devices, networks and locations
- Physical security risks prevent unauthorized access to systems and information
- Malware and device protection recognize and stop common attack methods
- Data handling and classification protect sensitive information appropriately
- Incident reporting respond quickly to reduce impact and legal exposure
ALWAYS-ON RISK MITIGATION
One topic. Learning that lasts.
Each Learning Topic pairs an attorney-authored course, for a documented, defensible record, with reinforcement tools that keep it working all year. The mix varies by subject.
What's in a Learning Topic?
Foundational course
Comprehensive training that builds core knowledge and practical decision-making skills.
Refreshers
Shorter video courses, often in a modern podcast style, that revisit the essentials and strengthen retention.
Micro Reels
Short, just-in-time videos that reinforce key concepts and give employees practical guidance when they need it.
Micro Reels
Micro Reels are inspired by the engaging, scrollable experiences people already know from social media, but purpose-built for the workplace with mobile-first delivery.
Each reel focuses on one clear topic at a time, making it easier for employees to understand, remember, and apply what they learn. Whether someone is at their desk, on the floor, or on the go, Micro Reels fit seamlessly into busy schedules.

Phishing Simulation
Traliant’s Phishing Simulation Service provides an interactive, hands-on way for employees to recognize and respond to phishing threats. By safely exposing employees to realistic phishing attempts in a controlled environment, organizations can uncover potential security gaps, reinforce best practices and build a culture of cybersecurity awareness.
Key Features and Benefits:
Realistic, customizable phishing scenarios: Simulate real-world threats with 40 pre-designed templates, including well-known brands like Amazon and Gong, or create your own to address specific risks unique to your organization.
Spot security gaps before attackers do: Track email opens and link clicks to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities and identify employees or departments that need extra training.
Safe, hands-on learning: Employees get practical experience with realistic phishing threats in a controlled environment – without putting sensitive data or systems at risk.
What to consider when choosing the most effective Cybersecurity Awareness training
Cybersecurity awareness training is designed to help employees understand common cybersecurity threats, learn best practices for protecting themselves and company data, and know how to report suspicious activity. This training is essential for organizations because it helps to:
- Prevent cyberattacks: Training helps employees identify and avoid potential threats, such as phishing scams and malware.
- Protect sensitive information: Training helps employees understand the importance of protecting sensitive data and to follow best practices for handling and storing this information.
- Create a culture of cybersecurity: Training promotes a culture where everyone understands their role in protecting the organization’s digital assets.
Cybersecurity awareness training is crucial for all organizations, especially those that handle sensitive data or operate in a digitally connected environment. It helps to:
- Empower employees: Training provides employees with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their online behavior and to understand how to protect themselves and the company.
- Strengthen your cybersecurity posture: Training helps to build a strong cybersecurity culture, making it more difficult for cybercriminals to succeed.
- Reduce the risk of costly data breaches: Data breaches can have a significant financial and reputational impact on organizations. Training can help to minimize these risks.
Because many cyber incidents start with everyday employee actions, training also helps reduce risk before a simple mistake turns into a costly breach.
Cyber threats are constantly evolving, including AI-driven phishing, deepfakes and increasingly sophisticated social engineering tactics. Training should be regularly updated to reflect how these threats actually appear in the workplace today.
Traliant’s training is continuously updated by in-house experts and includes scenarios that reflect modern, real-world risks, helping employees recognize and respond to emerging threats before they lead to incidents.
Cybersecurity threats evolve constantly, so training should be an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. Best practices include:
- Annual Comprehensive Training to ensure employees understand the latest threats.
- Quarterly refresher or microlearning courses to reinforce key concepts in small, digestible sessions.
- Ongoing phishing simulations to test employees in real-world scenarios and help them recognize social engineering attacks.
Regular training ensures employees stay informed about new threats and develop a security-first mindset.
Microlearning courses are short, focused training sessions designed to cover specific topics quickly and effectively. They benefit cybersecurity training by:
- Improving retention – small, digestible lessons help employees retain information better.
- Reducing disruption – employees can complete training in a few minutes, minimizing impact on productivity.
- Enhancing engagement – interactive and scenario-based microlearning keeps employees interested.
Microlearning ensures that cybersecurity awareness is reinforced throughout the year without overwhelming employees.
Phishing simulations are practical exercises that test an employees’ ability to recognize and respond to phishing attacks. They help by:
- Identifying vulnerabilities – employers can pinpoint employees who need additional training.
- Providing hands-on experience – employees practice spotting and reporting phishing attempts in a controlled environment.
- Reinforcing training concepts – repetition helps employees develop a habit of carefully scrutinizing emails and links before clicking.
- Measuring training effectiveness – organizations can track performance and adjust training accordingly.
By simulating real-world phishing attacks, businesses can proactively address weaknesses before they lead to security breaches.
Annual training provides employees with a foundational understanding of cybersecurity, but without regular reinforcement, knowledge fades over time. Ongoing cybersecurity training is critical because:
- Cyber threats constantly evolve – new hacking techniques and vulnerabilities emerge regularly.
- Employees need regular reinforcement – periodic training helps reinforce best practices and develop lasting cybersecurity habits.
- Cyber risks are ever-present – cybercriminals continuously attempt attacks so employees must always remain vigilant.
- Compliance requirements – many industries require periodic cybersecurity training to meet regulatory standards.
A structured, ongoing training strategy – enhanced with phishing simulations and microlearning courses – helps organizations maintain a strong security culture and reduce the risk of cyber threats.
