Cyber Security Awareness Training

Cyber security awareness training helps your staff recognise phishing, scams and unsafe habits before they become a costly incident, using practical, realistic examples rather than generic slideshows.

Book a call What’s included

What you get

Practical training that builds a security-aware team

Phishing simulations

Realistic, well-written simulated phishing emails test and build awareness, reflecting how modern AI-written attacks actually look.

Role-based training

Content tailored to different roles, so finance, leadership and general staff focus on the risks most relevant to them.

Bite-sized modules

Short, practical sessions that fit around normal work, rather than long training days people struggle to retain.

Verification habits

Practical guidance on verifying unusual requests, payment changes and urgent messages through a separate, trusted channel.

Reporting culture

Training that makes reporting a suspicious message quick, easy and blame-free, so incidents are caught sooner.

Progress tracking

Straightforward reporting on completion, simulation results and improvement over time, so you can see training is working.

How it works

A clear path from day one.

  1. Baseline

    An initial phishing simulation and short assessment establish where your team's awareness genuinely stands today.

  2. Train

    Staff complete short, relevant training modules covering the threats most likely to affect your business.

  3. Simulate

    Ongoing simulated phishing exercises reinforce learning and reflect how real attacks currently look, month after month.

  4. Report & improve

    You receive clear reporting on participation and results, with training adjusted based on what it reveals.

Cyber Security Awareness Training

Built around the way you work.

People, not just technology, decide whether a phishing email succeeds. Cyber security awareness training helps your staff make better decisions in the moment, particularly now that AI has made convincing attacks far easier to produce.

Who it’s for

This training suits any business where staff use email, handle payments, or have access to systems and data worth protecting, which in practice means almost every business of any size. It’s especially valuable for teams handling finance, HR or client data, where a single convincing message can cause real damage.

Training works best alongside the technical protections in NX Cyber or managed cyber security, rather than as a replacement for them.

What’s included

Rather than a single lecture, training is delivered as an ongoing programme covering:

  • Realistic phishing simulations that reflect how modern, AI-written attacks actually look
  • Short, role-based modules relevant to finance, leadership and general staff
  • Practical habits for verifying unusual requests, payment changes and urgent messages
  • A culture where reporting a suspicious message is quick, easy and free of blame
  • Clear reporting on participation, simulation results and improvement over time

As explained in our recent piece on AI-powered phishing, the old advice to look for spelling mistakes and poor grammar no longer works, so training now focuses on the request itself, not the writing quality of the message.

How it works

We start with a baseline: a simulated phishing exercise and short assessment that show where your team’s awareness genuinely stands, rather than where you assume it stands. From there, staff complete short, relevant training modules, followed by ongoing simulated phishing exercises that keep pace with how real attacks currently look.

Throughout, you receive clear reporting on participation and results, so training can be adjusted based on evidence rather than guesswork, and so you can demonstrate progress to your own leadership or clients over time.

Why NXAPP

Training from NXAPP is built to be genuinely useful, not a box-ticking exercise staff click through without absorbing. Content stays current with how attacks actually work today, including AI-generated phishing, voice and video impersonation, and business email compromise, rather than teaching outdated warning signs.

Because training sits within NX Cyber, it connects naturally with our technical controls and our cyber incident response service, so a reported suspicious message can be acted on quickly rather than disappearing into an inbox unread.

Training works best as one layer of a wider approach. See managed cyber security for the technical controls that support it, or cyber security consultancy if you want help deciding where training fits into your broader security priorities.

FAQs

Questions, answered.

Will training make staff feel got at?

Not if it's done well. Training and simulations work best when framed as building a shared skill, with a blame-free way to report mistakes rather than a way of catching people out.

How often should training run?

Ongoing, low-frequency training and periodic simulations tend to work better than a single annual session, since both threats and habits change over time and a one-off session is easily forgotten within weeks.

Does this cover AI-written phishing attacks?

Yes. Training focuses on verifying requests and recognising suspicious behaviour, since AI-written phishing has removed many of the spelling and grammar mistakes people were traditionally taught to look for when spotting a fake.

Is this suitable for non-technical staff?

Yes. Content is written in plain language for everyday staff, not IT specialists, since most phishing and social engineering targets people outside the IT team, from finance and admin to frontline and customer-facing roles.

Does training replace technical security controls?

No. Training is one layer alongside technical controls such as email authentication, MFA and monitoring, which are covered by NX Cyber's wider services and remain essential even with a well-trained team in place.
