Training and awareness

Hands on training that turns staff from the weakest link into the first line of defence.

Why train your people?

Most attacks start with a person: a convincing email, a reused password, a phone call that sounds right. Training is how you close that gap.

We teach from what we see in real tests. Your staff learn the tricks attackers actually use against organisations like yours.

What we offer

  • Technical labs

    Hands on labs for developers and IT teams: how common attacks work, and how to stop them in your own code and systems.

  • Staff awareness

    Short, practical sessions for everyone else: phishing, passwords, social engineering and safe handling of data.

  • Phishing drills

    Simulated phishing campaigns that show who clicks, who reports, and whether the training is working over time.

How we test. Each programme is built around your organisation: your systems, your sector and the attacks you are most likely to face.

What you get

  • Training tailored to each audience, technical or not
  • Phishing drill results: clicks, reports and trends
  • Recommendations for the next round

Why Mica Shield

The trainers are working penetration testers, so the examples are real.

Why Mica Shield

  • Taught by attackers

  • Hands on

    Technical teams practise in labs instead of watching slides.

  • Measured

    Phishing drills show whether behaviour is changing, not just attendance.

Questions buyers ask

How often should staff get security awareness training?

At least once a year, with shorter refreshers and phishing drills in between. Regular practice works better than one long session.

How does a phishing drill work?

We agree the scenarios and timing with you, send realistic but safe phishing emails, and report who clicked, who entered data and who reported the email. Nothing harmful is ever installed.

Who are the technical labs for?

Developers, system administrators and IT teams who want to understand how attacks work so they can build and run systems that resist them.

Can training be tailored to our sector?

Yes. We build examples around your systems and the threats your sector faces, so the lessons feel relevant to your staff.
