As part of NetGain’s Cybersecurity Public Service Initiative (PSI), we provide live cybersecurity awareness training to help employees recognize and respond to modern threats. These sessions equip your team with practical tools to protect sensitive data at work and at home. Unlike static online modules, our training is interactive, engaging, and tailored to your company’s specific risks—ensuring lessons stick long after the session ends.
Live Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Employees
Cybercriminals know that employees are often the easiest way into a business. A single click on a phishing email or a weak password can open the door to ransomware, data theft, and costly downtime. That’s why our live training sessions focus on building your employees’ confidence and decision-making skills. Participants learn how to identify threats in real time, practice safe online habits, and follow the right steps if something feels suspicious.
By making employees part of your security strategy, you reduce risk across your entire organization and meet compliance requirements with greater ease. Training also demonstrates to auditors and clients that your company takes proactive steps to protect sensitive data, strengthening both your cybersecurity posture and your reputation.
Features of Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Every business faces different risks, but the foundations of strong security remain the same. Our training addresses the most common vulnerabilities while leaving room to adapt for your unique environment. Here’s what’s included in the training:
-
Phishing awareness and testing to strengthen your human firewall and stop attacks before they succeed
-
Password management best practices that go beyond complexity rules and encourage secure, sustainable habits
-
Safe browsing and email techniques to reduce risks employees encounter in their daily routines
-
Industry-specific compliance considerations tailored to healthcare, finance, and manufacturing regulations
Sessions are highly adaptable. For example, a financial firm may focus more heavily on fraud prevention and data privacy, while a manufacturer may address ransomware and operational downtime. This flexibility ensures employees walk away with knowledge that’s directly applicable to their roles.
Cybersecurity Awareness in Business
Firewalls, antivirus software, and monitoring tools are only as effective as the people using them. Human error remains one of the leading causes of breaches, accounting for everything from weak credentials to mishandled sensitive information. For SMBs with limited IT staff, even a single mistake can create expensive disruptions.
Cybersecurity awareness training helps close this gap by turning your employees into your first line of defense. Instead of seeing security as a technical issue, they learn that it’s part of their daily responsibilities. The training covers real-world scenarios such as:
-
Identifying and reporting fraudulent emails before they spread internally
-
Protecting patient records and other sensitive data to meet HIPAA requirements
-
Defending against ransomware attacks that can halt operations and damage trust
-
Recognizing how AI-powered cybercrime creates more convincing scams
-
Practicing strong password security to block credential theft
The result is a workplace where employees are alert, confident, and actively involved in keeping your business secure.
Hear What Others Thought About the Training
Feedback from past participants demonstrates just how impactful cybersecurity awareness training can be. Many enter the session expecting a routine compliance exercise, only to find themselves fully engaged in practical, eye-opening discussions.

“Outstanding. It made us care about security.” -Brenda K, Chief Operating Officer, Manufacturer
“We were engaged the whole time. Shocking!” -Allyson B, Vice President, Pharma Manufacturer
These voices show that training doesn’t just provide knowledge—it changes how employees think about security, motivating them to take a more active role in protecting the business.
Cyber Awareness Training FAQ’s
Is the training online or in-person?
NetGain offers flexible delivery options. Each one-hour session can be hosted live onsite or conducted remotely for distributed teams. We also record every session so employees who can’t attend live can catch up later. Participants receive take-home resources and a certificate of completion to reinforce the training.
How can we measure the effectiveness of the training?
Effectiveness shows up in the behaviors employees take back to their desks. You’ll see greater caution in how they handle suspicious emails, stronger password habits, and more frequent reporting of unusual activity. Certificates and follow-up resources help reinforce what they’ve learned, while your IT team gains peace of mind knowing employees are more aware of risks.
What size groups can participate in the training?
Our training scales to fit your business. Whether you have 10 employees or 3,000, we can deliver a session that makes sense for your team. Security awareness is just as critical for small businesses as it is for large organizations.
How frequently should cybersecurity awareness training be conducted?
We recommend quarterly sessions to build long-term habits and keep employees informed of new tactics used by attackers. At a minimum, training should occur twice per year to maintain a strong security culture.
Can the training be customized for our industry?
Yes. Our PSI training is built with flexibility in mind. We tailor content to reflect the compliance standards, regulatory requirements, and threat landscape of your industry—whether you’re in healthcare, finance, or manufacturing.
