In-person cyber security training is a dynamic, hands-on learning experience designed to engage your team directly at your office, training center, or conference venue.
Led by former Secret Service Agent Michael Levin, these sessions go beyond checking the box, delivering personalized training that improves retention, builds confidence, and strengthens your overall security posture.
Why Train Onsite?
Onsite security awareness training delivers more than convenience—it creates a culture of informed security by giving employees the tools and understanding they need to protect your organization from evolving cybersecurity threats.
- Tailored Content for Specific Needs. In-person security awareness training can be customized to address the unique cybersecurity challenges and risks that your organization faces, ensuring relevance and practical applicability. The training content is built specifically for your team, not just a generic online course.
- Increased Employee Engagement. With in-person cyber security training, interaction fosters better focus, collaboration, and engagement. Employees are less likely to multitask or get distracted compared to online training.
- Immediate Feedback and Support. Questions and misconceptions can be addressed instantly. Michael provides expert answers during the training session, helping employees understand how to stay protected at work and at home.
- Reinforcement of Company Culture. Bringing cyber security training for staff onsite sends a powerful message: security is a shared responsibility.
- Enhanced Retention. In-person demonstrations and hands-on activities improve completion rates and help employees internalize the importance of safe behavior, leading to better retention of cybersecurity principles.
- Builds Trust in Leadership. Offering personalized training signals that leadership values the workforce’s development, is serious about addressing real security threats, and is proactive about protecting the organization.
By investing in in-person security training, companies not only enhance their employees’ skills but also build a stronger, more resilient defense against phishing emails, social engineering, and other modern cyber threats.
Who Leads The Training?
All in-person cybersecurity awareness training is led by Michael Levin, CFISA’s Founder and CEO. A nationally recognized risk manager and cybercrime expert, Michael served over 22 years in the U.S. Secret Service and later as Deputy Director of the National Cyber Security Division at the Department of Homeland Security.
He has spent his career actively investigating cyber threats, conducting hacker interviews, and helping businesses prevent the next data breach.
Michael brings insider expertise, government-level insights, and—yes—some great Secret Service war stories that make these training sessions engaging and truly memorable.
“After your onsite security awareness training, some of my biggest ‘problem children’ are now my best advocates.”
