## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> A caveat worth stating up front: almost every "best security awareness training 2026" listicle I found is written by a vendor about itself (Hook Security, Adaptive, Consilien all rank themselves #1), so I'm weighting pricing/structural facts over those rankings.
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. Huntress Managed SAT (formerly Curricula) - my default pick for most small businesses.** ~$2.08/learner/month billed annually. It's fully managed: you set it up and the training + phishing simulations run themselves, which matters enormously when nobody at your company owns security as a full-time job. The Curricula content is story/animation-based rather than dull compliance video, so completion rates hold up. Extra upside if you already run Huntress EDR - one vendor, one bill. ([pricing](https://www.huntress.com/pricing-review), [G2](https://g2.com/products/huntress-managed-security-awareness-training/pricing))
> 
> **2. Wizer - start here if budget is the binding constraint.** The baseline annual awareness training is genuinely free for unlimited users, no seat cap. Short, well-made videos on phishing, passwords, ransomware. If you need phishing simulations, compliance mod
