Security Awareness Training
Security Awareness Training Charlotte NC
Turn Your Employees From Your Biggest Vulnerability Into Your Strongest Defense
AOW Technologies runs your phishing simulations, delivers monthly training modules, tracks who needs extra coaching, and reviews results with your leadership team every quarter — adjusting the program based on real behavior, not just completion rates.
The Human Risk Problem
Your Firewall Can't Train Your Employees
Technology controls stop known threats. But when an employee clicks a convincing phishing link, approves a fraudulent wire transfer, or reuses a breached password, no firewall in the world can help. Security Awareness Training closes the gap that every technical control leaves open — the human one.
What AOW's Training Program Covers
AOW manages every component of your training program — from platform configuration to quarterly strategy reviews.
Simulated Phishing Campaigns
We send realistic, role-appropriate phishing simulations to your team on a rotating schedule. Employees who click are immediately enrolled in targeted remediation training — no shame, just learning.
Monthly Video Training Modules
Short, engaging video lessons delivered to every employee each month — covering phishing, password hygiene, social engineering, ransomware, and safe browsing. Completion is tracked automatically.
Human Risk Scoring & Reporting
Every employee receives a human risk score based on their simulation results and training completion. Your leadership team sees a dashboard showing who is high-risk, who has improved, and where to focus next.
Compliance Documentation & Audit Trails
Every training completion, simulation result, and policy acknowledgment is logged and exportable. When your auditor, insurer, or regulator asks for proof of training, you have it — instantly.
Dark Web Credential Monitoring
We continuously monitor the dark web for your employees' corporate email addresses and passwords. When a credential appears in a breach database, you're alerted before an attacker can use it.
Policy Acknowledgment & Attestation
Employees digitally acknowledge your acceptable use, data handling, and security policies through the platform. Acknowledgments are timestamped and stored for compliance and HR purposes.
Ransomware & Social Engineering Scenarios
Beyond email phishing, we simulate vishing (voice phishing), smishing (SMS), and ransomware delivery scenarios — training employees to recognize attacks across every channel attackers actually use.
Manager & Executive Reporting Dashboard
Department managers and executives get a tailored view of their team's risk posture — click rates, training completion, risk trends, and benchmark comparisons against industry peers.
How AOW Runs Your Training Program
From baseline assessment to quarterly optimization — AOW owns the entire program so you don't have to.
Baseline Assessment
We launch an initial phishing simulation and risk assessment to establish your organization's starting click rate, high-risk users, and compliance gaps — giving us a baseline to measure improvement against.
Program Configuration
AOW configures your training platform with your branding, employee roster, phishing templates, and training modules — customized to your industry, compliance requirements, and risk profile.
Ongoing Campaigns & Modules
Phishing simulations run on a randomized schedule so employees stay alert year-round. Monthly training modules are automatically assigned and tracked. High-risk employees receive additional targeted content.
Quarterly Review & Adjustment
Every quarter, your AOW vCIO reviews program results with your leadership team — presenting risk trends, compliance status, and adjusting the campaign strategy based on what's working and what isn't.
The Real Cost of Skipping Security Training
One successful phishing attack costs far more than a year of training.
