About AwareX

Helping organizations build a security-aware workforce, one decision at a time.

AwareX is part of the EC-Council Group. We focus on human risk management, helping organizations understand how people respond to social engineering and build better habits through relevant, AI-assisted practice.

WHO WE ARE

A cybersecurity legacy. Focused on people.

AwareX is part of the EC-Council Group, which builds cyber resilience across people, process, and technology: certifications that develop practitioners, governance frameworks that guide AI adoption, and platforms that test and strengthen defenses. AwareX is one of the Group's technology platforms, built to measure and reduce human risk. That heritage shapes how we work: practical, evidence-led, and grounded in how attacks actually happen.

We started from a simple observation. Most breaches still begin with a person being asked to do something that feels routine: approve a payment, reset a password, scan a code, or join a call. Annual courses and generic test emails rarely reflect those moments, so we set out to build a program that does.

Today, AwareX combines AI-assisted simulations, short targeted learning, and clear reporting so security, risk, and HR teams can see where human risk sits and how it changes.

  • The EC-Council Group

    People, process, and technology under one group.

  • Built on real attacks

    Practice grounded in how social engineering actually happens.

  • Built for your teams

    Security, risk, and HR teams see where human risk sits and how it changes.

MISSION AND VALUES

What guides our work.

Our mission is to make security awareness relevant to each person's real job, so the right response becomes a habit.

  1. 01

    Relevance over volume

    We would rather run one scenario a person recognizes than ten they ignore.

  2. 02

    People, not blame

    A click is a learning moment. Our reporting focuses on patterns and progress, not on individuals.

  3. 03

    Human oversight

    AI helps us build and adapt programs, and your team reviews and approves every simulation.

  4. 04

    Evidence you can trust

    We report what was measured, label example data clearly, and keep claims grounded in results.

THE CHANGING RISK

AI changes the attack. People still make the decision.

AI lowers the effort needed to research, write, and impersonate. Our role is to help organizations understand the human decisions behind that risk and give people relevant practice.

01 Research at scale

AI can turn public announcements, job roles, and business relationships into targeted pretexts.

AwareX response:

AwareX uses authorized public context to build role-relevant practice, reviewed by your team.

02 Convincing impersonation

Fluent messages and synthetic voices or video make familiar warning signs less reliable.

AwareX response:

Scenarios focus on verifying requests, checking authority, and reporting concerns, not just spotting spelling mistakes.

03 An evolving approach

Attackers can vary the channel, wording, and pressure until a request feels routine.

AwareX response:

Response measurement and targeted learning inform the next wave, so practice does not stop at course completion.

THE INTELLIGENCE BEHIND THE PROGRAM

Five AwareX AI agents. One connected workflow.

Each agent has a defined role, from understanding the business to interpreting responses. AI assists the work; people set the boundaries and approve simulations.

01 · Context engine
  • Builds business context from approved public sources, departments, and organizational activity.
02 · Scenario engine
  • Drafts and assesses scenarios against the agreed scope, roles, and likely business impact.
03 · Lure composer
  • Shapes the message, sender identity, tone, and debrief for human review.
04 · Risk calibration
  • Compares predicted scenario risk with observed responses to refine the assessment.
05 · Targeting and routing
  • Helps prioritize follow-up learning using department patterns and repeated risky responses.
Human oversight is part of the design. Scope, authorization, scenario review, and data boundaries remain with the organization.
OUR FRAMEWORK

The IMPROVE framework.

Identify, Measure, Prioritize, Reduce, Optimize, Validate, and Evaluate. This continuous cycle connects business context, practice, and evidence to guide the next assessment.

IMPROVE framework: Identify, Measure, Prioritize, Reduce, Optimize, Validate, and Evaluate.
THE PLATFORM

How the platform fits together.

Seven connected areas form one cycle. Context shapes practice, practice produces evidence, and evidence informs the next round.

  • 01Overview

    A baseline of where human risk sits across teams and channels.

  • 02Discovery

    Business context built from approved public sources and organizational structure.

  • 03Scenarios

    Department and role-specific scenarios with selectable tone and adaptive difficulty.

  • 04Simulations

    Campaigns across email, voice, SMS, QR code, deepfake, and ransomware, reviewed and approved before launch.

  • 05Training

    Role-based learning triggered by a click, with multilingual video.

  • 06Reporting

    Department risk scoring and repeat-response tracking in one dashboard.

  • 07Governance

    Scope, approvals, and data boundaries controlled by your team.

COMPLIANCE AND EVIDENCE

Compliance, backed by evidence.

Each simulation, lesson, and response is recorded with its context: the scenario, the channel, the department, and the date. Security, risk, and audit teams can review that record to see what was practiced and how it changed, rather than relying on attendance alone.

PROGRAM SUPPORT

End-to-end support, between every test.

Practice should not stop when a simulation ends. AwareX plans the materials that keep the topic in view through the working day, alongside each simulation cycle rather than as a one-off pack.

  • Illustrative campaigns awareness materials in a workplace settingCampaigns

    Planned themes that run alongside each simulation cycle.

  • Illustrative custom videos awareness materials in a workplace settingCustom videos

    Short briefings built around your own policies and scenarios.

  • Illustrative posters awareness materials in a workplace settingPosters

    Workplace reminders that reinforce how to report a threat.

  • Illustrative emailers awareness materials in a workplace settingEmailers

    Concise internal notices aligned with current attack trends.

  • Illustrative screensavers awareness materials in a workplace settingScreensavers

    Quiet, recurring prompts on shared and personal devices.

  • Illustrative gamified learning awareness materials in a workplace settingGamified learning

    Measured challenges that build habits and record progress.

Every item is planned with your team each cycle. Illustrative awareness materials, not customer deployments or product screenshots.
