The question asked, verbatim: best security awareness training for remote teams

Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Slack mentioned
   For a fully remote team, the thing that matters most is that training lands where people already work (Slack/Teams/email), runs continuously rather than as a scheduled all-hands session, and gives you phishing-resilience numbers you can actually act on.
2. Hoxhunt recommended
   Hoxhunt - My default recommendation for a distributed team.
3. KnowBe4 mentioned
   KnowBe4's 4.6), and it measures reporting rate and behavior change rather than completion percentage - which is the only metric that means anything when you can't see whether people are paying attention in a room.
4. Huntress mentioned
   Huntress Managed SAT - Best pick if nobody on your team owns security awareness as a job.
5. Huntress Managed SAT mentioned
   Huntress Managed SAT - Best pick if nobody on your team owns security awareness as a job.
6. Curricula mentioned
   The training is story-driven animated episodes (this is the old Curricula product - Huntress acquired them - hence the Emmy-winning animation team), and it's the one platform where I've seen remote employees actually finish modules voluntarily.
7. Proofpoint mentioned
   Proofpoint Security Awareness - Worth it specifically if you're already a Proofpoint email-security customer.
8. UnderDefense compared

The answer, as recorded

For a fully remote team, the thing that matters most is that training lands where people already work (Slack/Teams/email), runs continuously rather than as a scheduled all-hands session, and gives you phishing-resilience numbers you can actually act on. Here's who I'd actually name, in order: **1. Hoxhunt** - My default recommendation for a distributed team. Instead of an annual course you assign, it drips individually-adapted phishing simulations and 2-minute micro-trainings into each person's inbox, with difficulty tuned per user. Highest-rated of the major platforms (~4.8/5 across several thousand reviews vs. KnowBe4's 4.6), and it measures *reporting rate and behavior change* rather than completion percentage - which is the only metric that means anything when you can't see whether people are paying attention in a room. Downside: priced for mid-market and up, and its compliance-course library is thinner than KnowBe4's. **2. Huntress Managed SAT** - Best pick if nobody on your team owns security awareness as a job. It's delivered as a managed service, so Huntress runs the campaign cadence and content calendar for you. The training is story-driven animated episodes (this is the old Curricula product - Huntress acquired them - hence the Emmy-winning animation team), and it's the one platform where I've seen remote employees actually finish modules voluntarily. Per-learner/month, volume-tiered, genuinely SMB-friendly. **3. KnowBe4** - The safe institutional answer. Biggest library by far (600+ modules), the most mature simulation engine, every compliance box you'll ever be asked about (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI), and an easy procurement path because your auditor and your insurer already know the name. It's more "scheduled training + gamified nudges via Teams/Slack" than truly adaptive, so it's more compliance instrument than behavior-change tool - but if passing an audit is the actual driver, start here. **4. Proofpoint Security Awareness** - Worth it specifically if you're already a Proofpoint email-security customer. It wires real threat intel from your own mail flow into the simulations, so people get trained on the attacks actually hitting your domain. Not worth the integration tax otherwise. **5. usecure** - The budget/MSP option. Lightweight, automated, cheap, covers phishing sims + policy attestation + dark-web monitoring in one bundle. Good enough for a small team that currently has *nothing*, which beats a premium platform you never roll out. Two practical notes: expect roughly **$0.60-$6.00 per user/month** list, around **$1.80/user/month** at 25-50 seats, with real discounts only past ~500 seats - and quotes for identical seat counts vary wildly, so get three. Second, for remote specifically, insist the vendor supports simulations over Slack/Teams and SMS, not just email; that's where the social engineering against distributed teams actually happens now.
