Security training is one video a year, and nobody can tell you what was in it
Security Awareness Training That Survives Contact With a Real Attack
An annual video and a completion certificate won't help anyone spot a well-written invoice request from a vendor they recognize. Heroic runs continuous, tested security awareness training for West Coast organizations, so the people in your business know what a real attack looks like before they click.
What Does Security Awareness Training Include?
Security awareness training teaches the people in your business to recognize and report the attacks aimed directly at them: phishing emails, business email compromise, fake login pages, malicious attachments, and social engineering by phone or text. Heroic runs the training, simulates real attacks against your team, tracks who is struggling, and reports what changes.
A single session once a year doesn't hold up. Attack methods shift over the course of twelve months, new people join without ever seeing the material, and the employee who passed a quiz in January is the one staring at a convincing wire transfer request in August.
Heroic delivers short, continuous training paired with simulated phishing campaigns and reporting you can actually read. You get a team that recognizes the attacks in circulation now rather than the ones from last year, the documentation your insurer and auditors ask for, and a specific picture of where the risk in your organization actually sits.

What This Usually Looks Like Before Someone Calls Us
People forward suspicious emails to a coworker to ask if they look real, instead of reporting them
New hires work for months before they see any security training at all
You can't say which teams or which people are most likely to click
What You Get With Heroic
-
Continuous, Short-Form Training
Training runs in short sessions across the year instead of one long block every January. Content stays current with the attacks actually in circulation, and new hires are enrolled the week they start rather than at the next annual cycle.
-
Real-World Attack Simulations
Heroic sends simulated phishing emails built on the tactics being aimed at organizations like yours right now. Anyone who falls for one gets immediate coaching, not a note in their file.
-
Escalation and Reporting
You see who has completed training, who is improving, and where the exposure sits by team and role. The same reporting answers what your cyber insurance application and compliance reviews ask for.
No check-the-box training. Just people who know what a real attack looks like.
What's Different Six Months In
-
Suspicious messages get reported instead of forwarded around the office
-
A measurable drop in click rates quarter over quarter
-
New hires trained in their first week, not their first year
-
A clear view of which teams and roles carry the most risk
-
Training records ready before your insurer asks for them
How the Program Works
Training runs as an ongoing program rather than a one-time event, so your team knows what to expect and you always know where your organization stands.
-
Assessment: Heroic starts by establishing where your organization stands today, so there's a baseline to measure against later.
-
Enrollment: Your team is set up with training matched to their roles and to how they are most likely to be targeted.
-
Training: Lessons are delivered on an ongoing basis and stay current with the attacks actually in circulation.
-
Simulation: Your team is tested against realistic attempts, not just quizzes.
-
Reinforcement: Anyone who struggles gets follow-up support, so a mistake becomes a learning moment instead of a reprimand.
-
Reporting: You get visibility into participation, progress, and where the remaining risk sits.
Where Security Awareness Training Fits
Security awareness training covers the part of your security that technology can't. Managed Cybersecurity protects your systems and data with technical controls, while Managed IT Services keep the broader technology environment running.

Frequently Asked Questions
Once a year isn't enough. Attack methods shift over the course of twelve months, new people join, and material covered in January is rarely front of mind by October. Training holds up better when it's delivered in smaller pieces throughout the year, which keeps it current and keeps it from becoming an annual event people dread.
Our program includes a 30–45 minute recertification at the start of the year, followed by monthly micro-trainings and simulated phishing emails that keep it manageable without pulling your team away from their work.
They see what the attempt looked like and what should've given it away. Simulation results are there to show where attention is needed and to shape what goes out next, not to single anyone out.
Often, yes. Many cyber insurance applications now ask whether you run security awareness training, and several compliance frameworks expect it along with records showing it happened. The specific requirements differ by carrier and by framework, so it's worth checking the language in your own policy or audit requirements.
