Cybersecurity Awareness Training

Most Security Breaches Start With A Mistake Made By An Employee, Not A Hacker.

Employee slip-ups lead to more security breaches than hackers ever will. We can help you strengthen your first line of defense with cybersecurity awareness training in Chicago that teaches your company how to build new habits and how to spot a potential threat.

And because you're local, you get local. A Chicago team that picks up the phone, tunes training to your industry, and gives you clean reporting leadership can trust for audits, insurers, and compliance. 

Call 1-312-724-6896 to speak with a real person in our Chicago office or schedule an assessment for when you and the team are available. A cybersecurity professional from EMPIST will be in touch.

Cybersecurity Awareness Training Headquartered In Chicago's Loop.

Built in Chicago, based in the Loop, and shaped by more than 25 years of keeping this city’s businesses online, secure, and moving. Behind every ticket, project, and late-night save is a team whose names you actually know—not some rotating cast in an anonymous queue.

Our office sits in the heart of the Loop, close enough to grab a coffee with you between client meetings or be onsite when the moment calls for more than a screen share. We’ve grown up alongside our clients, through server closets and cloud migrations, compliance deadlines and cyber scares—and we bring that hard-earned context to every conversation.

Build Better Habits, One Session at a Time.

Chicago’s Front Line Against Phishing Attacks.

Phishing and social engineering are not “IT problems.” They are people problems, which is why they work. The messages look legitimate, the timing feels urgent, and the ask is just plausible enough to slip past a busy Tuesday. Email, text, QR codes, phone calls, even vendor impersonation, it is all designed to make a good employee move fast.

That is where we come in. From our Loop Chicago office, EMPIST trains your team to spot the setup, verify the request, and report it before it spreads. No scare tactics. No finger pointing. Just practical coaching that builds reflexes, reduces click rates, and protects the trust your business runs on.
