The answer, as recorded

# Security awareness training for remote teams Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them: **1. Hoxhunt** - My first recommendation for a genuinely distributed team. It's built around adaptive, per-person phishing simulations and short micro-trainings rather than annual course modules, so it works fine when nobody's in an office and everyone's on a different schedule. Highest-rated of the major platforms (4.8/5 on G2 from ~3,700 reviews) and it optimizes for *reporting rate* - training people to hit the report button - which is the metric that actually matters operationally. Skews enterprise, so pricing may be steep for a small team. **2. KnowBe4** - The safe default, and the one I'd pick if you want the biggest content library and the most localization (40+ languages) for a team spread across countries. Also the only vendor with real industry benchmarking data, so you can tell your board how your click rate compares to peers. Published pricing starts around $2.79/seat/month at volume on a multi-year deal. The tradeoff: it's the most "compliance training"-feeling of the bunch, and engagement can suffer. **3. Huntress Managed SAT** - What I'd recommend if you don't have anyone whose job is to run this. It's delivered as a managed service - they handle campaign setup, scheduling, and reporting - which is the right answer for a small remote company with no dedicated security staff. **4. SoSafe** - Worth a look if you're EU-based or GDPR-sensitive; it's a German platform with strong behavioral-science framing and good data-residency posture. Rated 4.5/5, comparable content quality to KnowBe4 with better engagement design. **5. Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness** - Good fit specifically if you're already an Arctic Wolf MDR customer, or want awareness training bundled with monitoring rather than bought standalone. 4.7/5, mid-market focused. **6. Keepnet or usecure** - The budget tier. usecure in particular is built for SMBs and MSPs, and Keepnet covers more channels (vishing, smishing, QR phishing) than most. If your team is under ~50 people and the enterprise vendors quote you something absurd, start here. ## Two things that matter more than vendor choice for remote teams - **Schedule simulations in each person's local time zone.** A campaign fired at head-office 9am hits someone at 6am or midnight, and you end up measuring fatigue instead of risk. - **Cover non-email channels.** Remote workers get hit over SMS, voice, and collaboration tools (Slack/Teams) far more than office staff. Email-only simulation leaves your actual gap untested. Also: track reporting speed and repeat-clicker behavior, not completion rates. Completion only measures attendance.
