Compare Huntress vs. Breach Secure Now!
Monthly episodes crafted by security experts and EmmyⓇ-winning animators. Relatable characters, real-world scenarios, and memorable storytelling that learners actually engage with.
Annual compliance-focused training built around long-form “action movie”-style videos with no comprehensive questions, meaning employees can check the box without retaining anything. Weekly micro-training reminders mix Microsoft Office productivity tips, AI guidance, and the occasional security tip rather than focused behavior change content. Without a SOC or visibility into live threats, there’s no mechanism to keep training current with how attackers are operating.
Monthly simulated phishing campaigns built on real-world observations from 5M+ endpoints and 10M+ identities, with new techniques added as soon as they’re seen in the wild. The Managed Phishing option lets Huntress run campaigns for you. Just-in-time Phishing Defense Coaching is auto-assigned to users who click.
Simulated phishing available, but scenarios are industry-based rather than threat-intelligence-driven. No managed phishing option, and campaigns require manual administration.
Built-in Custom Content Creator lets you build your own modules, import slides, embed links, add quizzes, and upload videos or internal policy language.
Training comes pre-built with no custom content creation tool. What you get is what you get, with no way to build your own modules or supplement with internal policy content.
Opt into fully managed learning plans. Huntress controls your training schedule based on prevalent threats seen by the Huntress AI-Centric SOC, so you get a hands-off experience without sacrificing quality.
Automated recurring training available, but not actively managed by security experts or informed by live threat intelligence.
Dashboards and exports covering assignment completion, phishing click and compromise rates, behavior-change metrics, and recovery training completion. Exportable for audits, cyber insurance, and board reporting.
Employee Secure Score (ESS) provides a gamified risk metric. Compliance reporting is primarily aligned to HIPAA, with limited coverage of other frameworks such as PCI and CMMC.
Straightforward MSP-friendly pricing per active learner. Built to scale cleanly with your client base.
Users report a confusing pricing structure that is not MSP-friendly and hard to scale with your business.
SAT is one product within the full Huntress Managed Security Platform. EDR, ITDR, SIEM, and SAT are all unified under one SOC and one portal. That integration offers capabilities that Breach Secure Now can’t offer: Behavior-based assignments automatically assign training episodes when a real-world threat event is detected across your endpoints or identities. This closes the loop between active threat response and human risk reduction. Hands-on threat simulations add a gamified layer that teaches the hacker mindset, giving learners direct experience with attacker techniques to reinforce training beyond passive video content.
SAT-only platform. No endpoint, identity, or SIEM capabilities. Training sits outside your security stack rather than integrating with it.
Content created by Huntress threat researchers, SOC analysts, and security experts leveraging threat intelligence from 5M+ endpoints and 10M+ identities managed by the Huntress AI-Centric SOC.
Training content is created by an MSP-focused training team, not a team with active, frontline threat research and incident response experience.

Reducing Human Risk with Simulated Phishing
According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report, 60% of all breaches involve the human element. That's the reality Huntress content is designed to address. The best phishing simulation tools test whether employees click and use the outcome to build genuine resilience.
Huntress Managed Phishing: Campaigns are designed and run by Huntress security researchers with simulations that reflect real attacker techniques. When a user clicks, they're automatically enrolled in targeted Phishing Defense Coaching. This is a behavior-based follow-up that reinforces the lesson immediately while the experience is still fresh. Multi-tenancy makes it easy for MSPs to run campaigns themselves or opt into Managed Phishing and let Huntress handle curation, scheduling, and reporting entirely.
Pricing and value for SMB security programs
Huntress Managed SAT: Priced per active learner per month, billed annually. Directory sync keeps license counts current, and you only pay for active learners, not ex-employees or shared mailboxes. Pricing is straightforward and designed to scale cleanly with your client base. Managed Learning and Managed Phishing are included with no separate SKUs required to get the full managed experience.
Breach Secure Now: Breach Secure Now uses a tiered model. The base subscription covers unlimited clients with annual training and dark web assessments. The Breach Prevention Platform (BPP) includes weekly micro-training, simulated phishing, security policies, risk assessments, and the Employee Vulnerability Assessment. This is a per-client upgrade on top of the base subscription.

FAQ
Huntress connects human risk reduction to active threat intelligence from 5M+ endpoints and 11M+ identities. Training content and phishing simulations reflect what attackers are doing right now, updated as new techniques are observed in the wild. Behavior-based phishing follow-up automatically assigns targeted coaching to users who click, closing the gap between simulation and real behavior change. Breach Secure Now's micro-training format provides frequent touchpoints, but sessions blend security content with productivity tips rather than focusing exclusively on threat-relevant behavior change.
The key differences are content quality and customization, phishing simulation depth, managed delivery, and platform scope. Huntress offers custom content creation, managed learning plans, managed phishing campaigns, and compliance module tracks. These are all absent or limited in Breach Secure Now. Huntress also sits within a full security platform (EDR, ITDR, and SIEM), while Breach Secure Now is a standalone training tool.
Huntress offers the stronger phishing simulation capability for MSPs. Campaigns are designed by security researchers, informed by real-world attacker tradecraft, and can be fully managed by Huntress on your behalf. Phishing Defense Coaching fires automatically when a learner clicks. Breach Secure Now offers industry-based phishing simulations and a useful Outlook plugin, but scenarios are not threat-intelligence-driven, and there is no managed phishing option.
Huntress Managed SAT pricing uses per‑learner pricing and supports directory synchronization, which helps keep license counts aligned with the people who actually need training instead of forcing you to manage separate user lists per tenant. Breach Secure Now typically licenses on a tiered, per‑client model.
Huntress is a great option for organizations that want pricing that scales predictably across a mixed customer base.
Huntress SAT integrates with common identity providers and directory services so you can sync learners from environments like Microsoft 365/Azure AD or Google Workspace and avoid manual account handling. We also support a managed “report phishing” workflow so users can report suspicious messages from their inbox and have those events feed into your phishing and recovery‑training program, similar to the plug‑ins customers use with Breach Secure Now.
Huntress provides dashboards and exports for assignment completion, phishing click and compromise rates, behavior‑change metrics, and recovery training completion, making it easy to satisfy audits, cyber‑insurance questionnaires, and board reporting without extra manual work. Breach Secure Now offers useful reporting—particularly around dark web and HIPAA compliance—but its reports are more narrowly aligned to specific frameworks and often require more manual effort to slice by tenant or build executive‑ready views compared with Huntress’ dashboards and exports.
