Security awareness tips, industry news, and product updates.
October's Cybersecurity Awareness Month is won or lost in September. A practical four-week preparation plan covering goals, a baseline phishing simulation, the content calendar, executive sponsorship and how you will measure success.
Security budget growth has slowed to a five-year low, and every line item now needs hard numbers behind it. Here is the ROI evidence CISOs and MSPs can use to defend - and grow - the human risk budget this planning season.
Before SSO or automated onboarding can trust an email domain, empowsec asks you to prove you own it - with a DNS TXT record or a hosted verification file, checked in seconds from the settings page.
New global research shows 45% of SMBs suffered a cyber-incident in the past year, yet 75% feel confident in their resilience - and confidence actually rises among repeat victims. What the confidence paradox means for MSPs selling security awareness.
empowsec gives MSPs a central seat pool with per-company and bulk allocation, hard, soft, and unlimited limits, usage syncing, and a dedicated audit trail - so seat management keeps pace with changing client headcounts.
The empowsec learner dashboard gives every employee a personal training overview: pending and overdue assignments, per-course progress, and recent completions - so nobody has to guess what to do next.
empowsec lets companies serve the training portal from their own domain via a simple CNAME, with guided DNS verification, live status badges, and a secure cross-domain login handoff - so employees always see an address they recognize and trust.
empowsec lets companies and resellers fork any global course into an editable copy - quizzes, interactive pages, and settings included - then sync with upstream updates or delete the fork to revert, while learners always see the most specific version.
empowsec reseller analytics roll every client company into one view: training completion, phishing click, open, report, and reply rates, per-company risk, and CSV or PDF exports - the numbers an MSP needs for a QBR without logging into thirty tenants.
empowsec lets company admins build custom roles with granular permissions, renders a dashboard with only the tabs each user may see, and gives reseller teams an equivalent permission system - so nobody needs full admin access just to do one job.
Compliance frameworks expect regular, evidenced security training - but manual re-enrollment does not scale. empowsec automation rules enroll new hires automatically and re-run courses every 3, 6, 12 or 24 months, hands-off.
When an employee clicks a simulated phishing link, empowsec turns the mistake into an instant micro-lesson: a Teachable Moment page that explains the exact red flags they just missed, at the moment they are most receptive to learning.
