## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them.
> 
> **1. Huntress Managed Security Awareness Training** - My default pick for a small business, especially if you already have or are considering Huntress for endpoint/ITDR. The episodes are story-driven and short enough that people actually watch them, it's genuinely "set and forget" for an admin who isn't a security person, and it's commonly delivered through an MSP so you don't have to run the program yourself. Reviews consistently call out engagement and low admin overhead. ([G2](https://www.g2.com/products/huntress-managed-security-awareness-training/reviews))
> 
> **2. KnowBe4** - The safe, boring, defensible choice. Biggest content library by far, the most mature phishing simulation engine, and the one your cyber insurer or SOC 2 auditor will recognize without asking questions. Downsides: no public pricing (expect a discovery call before any number), a 25-seat minimum that penalizes very small teams, and roughly $15-50/user/year depending on tier. If you have ~25+ employees and a compliance requirement, start here. ([Expert Insights](https://expertinsights.com/security-awareness-training/the-top-alternatives-to-
