Breach Secure Now vs. SANS Security Awareness Training

We are happy with it. It can schedule phishing tests out for months, You can run a report of what passwords are on the dark web. You can schedule when you want the trainings to be released, they continue to add new phishing campaigns and new training periodically. It is also very easy to use.

SANS Security Awareness Training program would be well suited for a large organization that needs to develop multiple training programs with different courses based on the roles of the end users. It seemed a bit difficult at times to achieve simple setup processes because of the configurations tailored to larger, more complex organizations.

Most features are very easy to setup. We have Azure sync so we sync accounts from a group in Azure, we have monthly phishing emails scheduled for up to a year out. We also have automations for when to release new trainings and what trainings show as available for each client

We actually are currently migrating to Proofpoint Security Awareness Training because of its integration with the Proofpoint email filter. This will allow us to target specific users who are clicking on bad emails with specific training material. We have used KnowBe4 in the past as well, but it was rather costly compared to SANS Security Awareness Training and Proofpoint. SANS Security Awareness Training seems to be the least easy-to-use interface from an administrative perspective compared to the other two.
