Nick Wolf, VP of Sales at Hook Security, returned to KnowTechTalk to talk about AI-written phishing, whether today's security awareness training actually prepares people for it, and why the premise that people are the problem gets the whole thing backwards.
Co-managed security awareness training is a hybrid model where MSPs own program design and strategy while the vendor automates delivery, execution, and reporting. This guide explains how responsibilities split, when co-managed makes sense, and how it compares to self-service and fully managed models.
For MSPs, the real decision in security awareness training isn’t which vendor to choose—it’s whether to run a self-service platform in-house or partner with a done-for-you provider. This guide breaks down how each model impacts margin, scalability, and client retention so you can pick the approach that fits how your team actually operates.
