SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING
Cyber security training courses to help protect your business
Human error remains one of the biggest cyber risks facing organisations today. Phishing emails, credential theft, and simple mistakes can undo even the best technical controls.
Kaine Mathrick Tech’s Security Awareness Training (SAT) helps reduce that risk by educating, testing, and continuously improving how your people respond to cyber threats, using a personalised, measurable program delivered online to your staff at your pace.
What Is Security Awareness Training?
Security awareness training is an ongoing program that helps employees recognise, avoid, and respond to cyber threats such as phishing, credential theft, and social engineering.
Unlike once‑a‑year compliance training, effective security awareness training is continuous, personalised, and measurable, reducing human‑related cyber risk across the organisation.
Why Security Awareness Training Is Essential
Cybersecurity isn’t just a technology problem — it’s a people problem.
Firewalls, endpoint protection, and monitoring tools are critical, but they can all be bypassed with a single convincing email, message, or phone call. Today’s attackers know this — which is why they increasingly focus on phishing, social engineering, and credential theft as the fastest and most reliable way into an organisation.
Security Awareness Training addresses this risk at its source: human behaviour.
Rather than assuming people will “just know what to do,” an effective SAT program builds practical, repeatable habits that employees apply in real situations — when an email feels slightly off, when a login prompt looks unusual, or when an urgent request doesn’t quite make sense.
Security Awareness Training helps your organisation:
- Reduce human‑related cyber risk
Most security incidents begin with a simple mistake. Training helps employees recognise threats before they turn into incidents. - Strengthen phishing and social engineering resilience
Staff learn how to identify suspicious emails, links, attachments, and requests — and what to do when they see them. - Create consistent security behaviour across the business
Security becomes part of everyday decision‑making, not something left to IT or security teams alone. - Support governance, insurance, and compliance expectations
Ongoing training and reporting demonstrate due diligence to insurers, auditors, and leadership. - Build a long‑term security culture, not one‑off awareness
Regular, bite‑sized training reinforces good habits over time, keeping security top of mind as threats evolve.
Who Our Security Awareness Training Is For
Designed for Real Businesses
Our Security Awareness Training is built for organisations that want:
- Practical, low‑disruption training that fits into busy workdays
- Measurable outcomes, not “tick‑the‑box” compliance
- Clear reporting for executives, boards, and auditors
- A stronger security culture without internal admin overhead
Who is it for?
- Small and mid‑sized businesses
- Professional services, legal, and regulated industries
- Organisations with hybrid or remote workforces
- Any business where people are a key part of the security perimeter
Whether you’re meeting insurance requirements, strengthening your cyber posture, or supporting frameworks like ISO 27001 and Essential Eight, SAT provides a critical foundation.
Our Security Awareness Training Approach
Kaine Mathrick Tech delivers security awareness training using a structured, data‑driven model that focuses on real behaviour change, not box‑ticking.
Baseline Cyber Awareness Assessment
Every user begins with an assessment to identify knowledge gaps and risk areas. This establishes a clear human risk baseline for the organisation.
Personalised Employee Security Awareness Training
Employees receive short, targeted training modules based on their individual risk profile. Training is delivered monthly and designed to fit into busy workdays.
Phishing Awareness Training & Simulations
Realistic phishing simulations test how users respond to threats in real‑world scenarios. Users receive immediate feedback and follow‑up training where needed.
Tracking, Reporting & Visibility
Security awareness training performance is tracked over time, providing visibility into:
- Training completion rates
- Phishing simulation results
- Risk trends across the organisation
This allows leadership to measure improvement and demonstrate due diligence.
Optional Enhancements
Depending on your needs, SAT can also include:
- Policy awareness and acknowledgement tracking
- Dark web credential monitoring
- Executive‑level reporting summaries
What’s Included in Our Security Awareness Training
- Employee security awareness training
- Phishing awareness training and simulations
- Ongoing micro‑learning modules
- Training completion tracking
- Risk and performance reporting
- Optional policy awareness and credential monitoring
All training is delivered via a centralised platform with minimal admin overhead.

Frequently asked questions
Security awareness training works best when it’s treated as an ongoing business process — not a compliance checkbox. KMT delivers training as part of a broader cyber‑first approach, helping organisations reduce risk in a way that’s practical, visible, and sustainable.
What is security awareness training and why does my business need it?
Security awareness training is an ongoing program designed to help employees recognise, avoid, and respond correctly to cyber threats such as phishing emails, credential theft, and social engineering attacks.
While technical controls like firewalls and endpoint protection are essential, they can be bypassed if a user is tricked into clicking a malicious link or sharing login details. This is why attackers increasingly target people — not systems.
Security awareness training reduces this risk by:
- Educating staff on real‑world threats they are most likely to encounter
- Reinforcing secure behaviours through regular, practical training
- Helping employees understand their role in protecting the organisation
For most businesses, security awareness training is no longer optional. It plays a critical role in reducing cyber incidents, supporting cyber insurance requirements, and demonstrating due diligence to leadership, regulators, and clients.

How is KMT’s security awareness training different from one‑off or generic training?
Many organisations rely on annual, generic training sessions that staff quickly forget. These programs often focus on compliance rather than real behaviour change.
Kaine Mathrick Tech’s security awareness training is continuous, personalised, and measurable.
Instead of delivering the same content to everyone, our program:
- Starts with a baseline assessment to identify individual and organisational risk areas
- Delivers short, targeted training modules tailored to each user’s needs
- Reinforces learning through phishing simulations and real‑world testing
- Tracks progress over time with clear reporting and visibility
This approach ensures training stays relevant, avoids training fatigue, and adapts as threats evolve. The result is meaningful behaviour change — not just a completed course.

Will security awareness training disrupt our staff or create extra admin work?
No. Our security awareness training is specifically designed to fit into busy workplaces with minimal disruption.
Training modules are short — typically just a few minutes — and delivered on a scheduled cadence so they don’t interrupt productivity. Employees can complete training at a time that suits their workday.
From an admin perspective, the program is largely automated. User enrolment, reminders, phishing simulations, and reporting are handled through a centralised platform, reducing the internal workload on IT or operations teams.
KMT also supports setup, rollout, and ongoing optimisation, ensuring the program runs smoothly without becoming another system your team has to manage.

How much does cyber security training cost in Australia?
Prices for cyber security training in Australia can be overblown. At Kaine Mathrick Tech, we look to dispel the mysticism around cyber security, and make it an issue that is widely addressed by everyone. This means keeping information accessible and costs low.
We do this by hosting all of our cyber security training courses online. This removes the need for face-to-face interaction, which can be costly in terms of money and downtime for a small business.
For specific costs, get in touch with Kaine Mathrick Tech for a free cyber security audit.
