Vendor roundup compares eight security awareness training platforms for 2026, no threat incident
This is a vendor-authored buyer's guide from Aikido Security ranking eight security awareness training platforms for 2026, and it does not describe a security incident, vulnerability or threat campaign. It promotes Noon Security (Aikido's workforce security product) first and compares it with KnowBe4, Hoxhunt, Adaptive Security, SoSafe, Proofpoint ZenGuide, Mimecast Engage and Infosec IQ Enterprise. The article argues that attacks have moved beyond poorly written phishing email to texts, voice and deepfake impersonation, and that shadow AI use by employees is a training blind spot. It cautions that many platforms teach awareness without procedures, over-focus on email, and treat completion records as sufficient evidence of learning.
Technical Details
- Threat themes cited: phishing, vishing, smishing, deepfake impersonation, business email compromise and invoice/bank-detail fraud.
- Noon is described as combining simulations and training with email protection, device protection (malicious packages, extensions, agent skills) and AI governance.
- Selection criteria: chat-delivered learning (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat), role-based content, automated assignments and reinforcement, and LMS integration (SCORM).
Remediation
- Teach concrete verification procedures (e.g., confirming bank-account changes) instead of generic awareness.
- Include voice, SMS and deepfake scenarios in simulations, not only email.
- Define approved AI tools and data-sharing rules, and tie training to enforceable controls.
- Measure practice and repeat-mistake follow-up rather than course completion alone.
