10 Best Security Awareness Training of 2026

1. 1

   KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training

   Security awareness training and simulated phishing platform sold in SAT Foundation and SAT Advanced tiers.

   9.1overall

   Security awareness training and simulated phishing platform sold in SAT Foundation and SAT Advanced tiers.

   Best forOrganizations of 25 to 1,000 seats that want published per-seat prices and the largest customer base

   Adoption data

   70,000KnowBe4 says more than 70,000 organizations worldwide use its platform.

   KnowBe4, About Us (2026): “Trusted by more than 70,000 organizations worldwide”

   KnowBe4 ranks first because it combines the largest published customer count in this category with list prices anyone can read. Its about page says more than 70,000 organizations use it, and its pricing page lists SAT Foundation at $2.40 per seat per month for 25 to 50 seats on a 3-year term, falling to $1.63 at 501 to 1,000 seats. Foundation already includes unlimited phishing security tests, the Phish Alert Button, phishing reply tracking, simulated vishing and a library of 200+ training pieces. SAT Advanced, at $3.75 per seat for the smallest band, raises the library to 1,000+ items and adds tests such as callback phishing, USB drops and physical QR codes. The platform reports through 60+ built-in reports and benchmarks your Phish-prone percentage against your industry. The main catch is commitment: published prices are for a 3-year term, and organizations above 1,000 seats get a custom quote. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Per-seat list prices are published in USD for 25 to 1,000 seats
   • +Per-seat price falls to $1.63 on Foundation at 501 to 1,000 seats
   • +KnowBe4 reports more than 70,000 customer organizations

   Limitations

   • −Published prices assume a 3-year term
   • −Organizations above 1,000 seats must request a quote
   • −The 1,000+ item training library requires the pricier SAT Advanced tier

   SummaryKnowBe4 is the best choice for organizations that want a proven platform with a published price, because SAT Foundation costs $2.40 per seat per month and the vendor reports over 70,000 customers. Budget for a 3-year term.

2. 2

   Wizer

   Short-video security awareness training with a free basic plan and a paid Boost plan that adds phishing simulation.

   8.3overall

   Short-video security awareness training with a free basic plan and a paid Boost plan that adds phishing simulation.

   Best forSmall and midsize businesses that want a free start and a low yearly per-user price

   Adoption data

   20,000Wizer says it is used by more than 20,000 organizations.

   Wizer, Wizer Security Awareness Training (2026): “Wizer is trusted by more than 20,000 organizations”

   Wizer takes second place on value and reach. Its pricing page offers a free plan with basic annual security awareness training and no credit card, which lets a small company meet a yearly training requirement without a budget. The paid Wizer Boost plan costs $25 per user per year for 25 or more users on a 3-year term billed annually, which is $625 a year for a 25-person team, and drops to $8 per user per year at 3,001+ users. Boost adds adaptive phishing simulation, report buttons, custom and monthly updated templates, monthly videos, drip campaigns, gamified phishing exercises, single sign-on and auto provisioning. Wizer says more than 20,000 organizations use it. It ranks below KnowBe4 because its feature set is narrower: there is no published vishing, callback or USB testing, and buyers who want a 1-year contract must contact sales. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Free plan covers basic annual training at no cost
   • +Boost costs $625 a year for 25 users on the online checkout
   • +Wizer reports more than 20,000 organizations

   Limitations

   • −Phishing simulation is not in the free plan
   • −List prices assume a 3-year term; 1-year pricing goes through sales
   • −Online purchase requires at least 25 users

   SummaryWizer is the best choice for small teams that want to start free and add phishing tests later, because Boost costs $25 per user per year. Larger security programs will find more simulation types elsewhere.

3. 3

   PhishingBox

   Phishing simulation and security awareness platform with a built-in LMS and per-seat plans priced online.

   8.2overall

   Phishing simulation and security awareness platform with a built-in LMS and per-seat plans priced online.

   Best forIT teams that want to price a phishing program online and start a 14-day trial without a sales call

   Adoption data

   2,849,948PhishingBox's homepage counter reports about 2.85 million users worldwide.

   PhishingBox, PhishingBox homepage (2026): “Trusted by 2,849,948 users worldwide.”

   PhishingBox is one of the few vendors that prices its platform online in US dollars for any seat count. On its pricing page the Standard plan costs $825 a year for 50 seats, or $16.50 per seat per year, and includes the Campaign Simulator, the KillPhish reporting add-in, just-in-time training, integrations and phone support. Professional, at $23.93 per seat per year, adds a SCORM-ready LMS, an API, a dedicated training portal, custom courses and custom branding. Enterprise, at $31.35, adds callback phishing and other enterprise tools. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial that needs no credit card, and the vendor offers US and EU instances. PhishingBox's homepage counter reports 2,849,948 users. It ranks behind Wizer because a full training program needs the Professional tier, which brings it closer to rival prices. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Seat prices are shown in USD with a live cost estimate
   • +14-day free trial with no credit card
   • +Phone, email and live chat support start on the Standard plan

   Limitations

   • −The LMS and custom course creation need Professional at $23.93 per seat per year
   • −Callback phishing is limited to Enterprise
   • −Standard is aimed at phishing testing rather than full training programs

   SummaryPhishingBox is the best choice for IT teams that want to price and trial a phishing program without talking to sales, because Standard costs $16.50 per seat per year. Plan on Professional if you need its LMS.

4. 4

   CanIPhish

   Phishing simulation and security awareness training with a free plan for up to 10 employees and self-service paid plans.

   8.1overall

   Phishing simulation and security awareness training with a free plan for up to 10 employees and self-service paid plans.

   Best forVery small businesses and budget-conscious IT teams that want to buy online

   Adoption data

   1,200CanIPhish says more than 1,200 companies use its platform.

   CanIPhish, CanIPhish homepage (2026): “1,200+ companies already with us”

   CanIPhish has the lowest verified entry price on this list. Its pricing page keeps a free plan for up to 10 employees that includes phishing simulations and animated interactive training modules. Professional costs $32 a month for 25 employees billed yearly, about $1.28 per employee, and adds the full training and phishing email libraries, conversational phishing and third-party integrations. Enterprise, at $40 a month for 25 employees, adds deepfake voice phishing, SAML single sign-on, white-labeling and AI tools that generate phishing emails, sites and training content. Report-phish add-ons for Outlook and Gmail, directory sync with Entra ID and Google Workspace, and Vanta and Drata integrations are listed. CanIPhish says 1,200+ companies use it and that it completes annual SOC 2 Type 2 audits. Its smaller customer base keeps its adoption score below the leaders. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Free plan stays free for up to 10 employees
   • +Self-service checkout with an online price calculator up to 1,000 employees
   • +Training is listed as WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformant

   Limitations

   • −Enterprise is annual only with a 25-employee minimum
   • −Organizations above 1,000 employees must request a quote
   • −CanIPhish reports 1,200+ companies, a smaller base than leaders

   SummaryCanIPhish is the best choice for small businesses on a tight budget, because it is free for up to 10 employees and Professional costs $32 a month for 25. Larger enterprises may want a vendor with a bigger customer base.

5. 5

   Hoxhunt

   Adaptive phishing training and security awareness platform that personalizes simulations per employee.

   8.1overall

   Adaptive phishing training and security awareness platform that personalizes simulations per employee.

   Best forLarge enterprises in Europe and North America that want gamified, per-employee adaptive phishing training

   Adoption data

   6MHoxhunt reports 6 million users worldwide and 11 million phishing simulations a month.

   Hoxhunt, About Hoxhunt (2026): “6M users worldwide 11M simulations / month”

   Hoxhunt is the adaptive option for large employers. Rather than sending the same campaign to everyone, its security awareness training page says it adjusts training difficulty and frequency to each employee's skill level and personalizes simulations by job role, location and behavior. Employees collect stars and badges and compete on an internal leaderboard, and reported emails get instant AI-generated feedback. Training is offered in 35 languages. Hoxhunt's about page reports 6M users worldwide and 11M simulations a month, a strong reach figure, though it counts users rather than customer organizations. The drawback for buyers comparing prices is that Hoxhunt publishes none: its pricing page says pricing is per employee and the full quote follows one 30-minute scoping call. That keeps its value score lower than vendors with public rates. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Hoxhunt reports 6M users and 11M simulations per month
   • +Personalizes simulations by role, location and behavior
   • +Pricing is per employee and quoted after one 30-minute scoping call

   Limitations

   • −No public price list
   • −Requires a scoping call before you get a quote
   • −Incident response automation is a separate product

   SummaryHoxhunt is the best choice for enterprises that want phishing training to adapt to each employee, because it adjusts difficulty per person and reports 6M users. Expect a scoping call before any price.

   Proofpoint ZenGuide

   Proofpoint's risk-based security awareness training, which scores users on threat exposure, role and behavior.

   8.0overall

   Proofpoint's risk-based security awareness training, which scores users on threat exposure, role and behavior.

   Best forEnterprises already using Proofpoint email security that want training driven by real attack data

   Adoption data

   2MProofpoint says it serves over 2 million customers worldwide across its products.

   Proofpoint, About Proofpoint (2026): “It has since grown to more than 5,000 team members serving over 2M Customers worldwide.”

   Proofpoint ZenGuide is the pick for enterprises whose email is already filtered by Proofpoint. Its product page describes threat-informed risk scoring that combines threat exposure, vulnerabilities and phishing performance, then automatically groups and enrolls users by risk, role and behavior. The Satori Phishing Simulation Agent and AI ThreatFlip turn real attacks into simulations, and a Report Suspicious button works across email and mobile. Paired with Human Resilience Workbench, ZenGuide tracks risky behavior over time and benchmarks it against industry peers. Proofpoint's company page says it serves over 2M customers and more than half of the Fortune 100, but that count spans every Proofpoint product, so we scored adoption below KnowBe4. No prices are published; buyers request a demo. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Uses Proofpoint threat data to pick who gets trained and on what
   • +Proofpoint reports over 2M customers across its products
   • +Works with Human Resilience Workbench to track risky behavior over time

   Limitations

   • −No public price list
   • −The 2M customer figure covers all Proofpoint products, not only training
   • −Strongest when paired with other Proofpoint products

   SummaryProofpoint ZenGuide is the best choice for enterprises on Proofpoint email security, because it scores each user's risk with threat data from the same vendor. Buyers without Proofpoint email gain less from that link.

   Keepnet

   Security awareness training and multi-channel phishing simulation with per-employee prices published by headcount band.

   7.9overall

   Security awareness training and multi-channel phishing simulation with per-employee prices published by headcount band.

   Best forSecurity teams that need SMS, voice and QR code simulations with SSO and SCIM in every plan

   Adoption data

   104Keepnet holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Gartner Peer Insights from 104 ratings, as shown on its pricing page; it does not publish a customer count.

   Keepnet, Security awareness training and phishing simulation pricing (2026): “Rated 4.9 out of 5 on Gartner Peer Insights from 104 ratings”

   Keepnet publishes one of the most detailed price lists in the category. Its pricing page shows four plans across headcount bands, with Essentials at $1.80 per employee per month for 25 to 50 employees and $1.40 for 101 to 500, billed annually on a 3-year agreement. Essentials covers email phishing simulation, training, a phishing reporter and the SMS and call reporter app. Plus adds QR code and callback phishing and compliance training; 360 adds vishing, smishing and an email threat simulator; Enterprise adds an incident responder. Unusually, admin accounts, SAML SSO, SCIM and a REST API come with every plan at no extra cost, and the library holds 9,100+ training items made by Keepnet. Keepnet does not publish a customer count, so its adoption score relies on its 4.9 rating from 104 Gartner Peer Insights reviews and sits below vendors with large published bases. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Prices published per employee for four plans and five headcount bands
   • +SSO, SCIM and API are included even in Essentials
   • +Rated 4.9 out of 5 on Gartner Peer Insights from 104 ratings

   Limitations

   • −Published prices assume a 3-year agreement; 1-year terms are quoted
   • −No published customer count
   • −Prices are published only up to 1,000 employees

   SummaryKeepnet is the best choice for teams that want SMS and voice phishing tests at a published per-employee price, because 360 lists all three channels and every plan includes SSO and SCIM. Buyers who want a large reference base should look at KnowBe4.

8. 8

   Mimecast Engage

   Mimecast's awareness training and security behavior management product, built on its Human Risk Command Center.

   7.7overall

   Mimecast's awareness training and security behavior management product, built on its Human Risk Command Center.

   Best forMimecast email security customers that want risk-based nudges in email, Slack and Teams

   Adoption data

   42,000Mimecast says it protects and supports 42,000+ organizations globally across its products.

   Mimecast, Mimecast Engage Awareness Training (2026): “Mimecast is proud to protect and support 42,000+ organizations globally”

   Mimecast Engage approaches awareness training as security behavior management. According to its product page, the Human Risk Command Center aggregates risk signals from email, endpoint, data and identity tools into per-user risk scores, and Watchlist Manager uses those scores to assign training automatically. Employees receive context-aware nudges by email, Slack or Teams at the moment of risk and can see individual scorecards with their risk level and completed training. Engage connects to 17+ tools including CrowdStrike, Okta and Netskope, and sends data to SIEM or SOAR platforms. Mimecast says 42,000+ organizations use its products, a figure that covers email security too, so we scored adoption a step below KnowBe4. Like Proofpoint, Mimecast publishes no prices and asks buyers to request a quote. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Mimecast reports 42,000+ customer organizations
   • +Pulls risk signals from non-Mimecast tools such as CrowdStrike and Okta
   • +Named a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave for Human Risk Management, Q3 2024

   Limitations

   • −No public price list
   • −The 42,000 customer figure covers all Mimecast products
   • −Value depends on feeding it signals from other security tools

   SummaryMimecast Engage is the best choice for Mimecast customers that want training triggered by real risky behavior, because it assigns training from risk scores built on 17+ integrations. Teams that only need scheduled courses can pay less elsewhere.

   Adaptive Security

   AI-focused security awareness training and deepfake phishing simulation platform.

   7.4overall

   AI-focused security awareness training and deepfake phishing simulation platform.

   Best forCompanies worried about deepfake, voice and AI-driven social engineering

   Adoption data

   2,000Adaptive Security says it is trusted by over 2,000 customers.

   Adaptive Security, Adaptive Security homepage (2026): “Trusted by over 2,000 customers”

   Adaptive Security is built around AI-driven social engineering. Its pricing page lists a library of 1,000+ training resources refreshed weekly, the ability to create custom deepfakes of your own executives, and simulations that span email, voice, SMS, QR codes, callback lures and deepfake Teams and Zoom scenarios. A GenAI Content Studio turns policies, documents and URLs into training, and modules come in 40 languages with dubbed narration, plus 50+ compliance modules covering HIPAA, GDPR and PCI. Campaigns auto-enroll new hires and support leaderboards, test-out and SCORM export. Adaptive Security's homepage says it is trusted by over 2,000 customers, fewer than the established vendors, which keeps its adoption score lower. Small businesses must submit a work email to see a price and enterprise pricing is custom, so we could not verify a USD rate. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

   Strengths

   • +Covers deepfake Teams and Zoom scenarios and callback phishing
   • +50+ compliance modules including HIPAA, GDPR and PCI
   • +Adaptive Security reports over 2,000 customers

   Limitations

   • −SMB pricing requires a work email form; enterprise pricing is custom
   • −Smaller published customer base than the leaders
   • −No published per-user price to compare

   SummaryAdaptive Security is the best choice for companies focused on deepfake and AI voice fraud, because it can simulate attacks with custom deepfakes of your own executives. Buyers who want a public price should start with KnowBe4 or Keepnet.

    Hook Security

    Micro-learning security awareness training with managed phishing simulations, sold online to small companies.

    7.2overall

    Micro-learning security awareness training with managed phishing simulations, sold online to small companies.

    Best forCompanies with 60 seats or fewer that want a flat yearly price and a hands-off program

    Adoption data

    250,000Hook Security says it serves 500+ accounts and trains more than 250,000 employees every month.

    Hook Security, About Hook Security (2026): “Hook Security serves 500+ accounts and hundreds of MSP partners, training more than 250,000 employees every month.”

    Hook Security sells its whole platform online to small companies at flat yearly prices. Its pricing page lists Micro at $499 a year for up to 10 seats and Starter at $1,199 a year for 11 to 60 seats, both bought by card, with Growth for 61+ seats quoted. Every plan includes the PsySec micro-learning course library, managed phishing simulations through Autopilot, compliance training and automated reporting. Its about page describes 1,000+ phishing templates with training delivered the moment an employee clicks, compliance tracks for HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and SOC 2 Type 2 certification. Hook says it serves 500+ accounts and trains more than 250,000 employees a month, the smallest base here, so it ranks last on adoption. The flat Starter price works out to about $1.67 per seat per month at 60 seats, but a 10-person team pays far more per seat than with CanIPhish or Wizer. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run our own tests.

    Strengths

    • +Flat yearly prices bought by card, account ready within 24 hours
    • +Every plan includes the full platform; tiers differ only by seat count
    • +SOC 2 Type 2 certified

    Limitations

    • −$499 for up to 10 seats is costly per seat for very small teams
    • −Growth plans above 60 seats are quoted
    • −Hook reports 500+ accounts, the smallest base on this list

    SummaryHook Security is the best choice for companies of 11 to 60 people that want a managed program at a flat price, because Starter costs $1,199 a year with Autopilot phishing included. Teams of 10 or fewer pay less per seat with CanIPhish or Wizer.
