We provide ongoing, managed campaigns to ensure your team's knowledge is always up-to-date and a critical first line of defense.

Teamwork & Collaboration Tool Training (Microsoft Teams)

We offer training focused on maximizing the use of collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams, covering best practices for communication, file sharing, and virtual meetings to improve team efficiency.

Cybersecurity & Employee Security Awareness Training FAQ

Starport offers managed training programs including Employee Security Awareness Training and Phishing Prevention Simulations. All programs are delivered by the same Canadian-based IT professionals who manage your technology, ensuring training is relevant, accurate, and directly tied to your real environment and risks.

Human error is the leading cause of cybersecurity breaches. Employees who don't recognize phishing emails, malware attempts, or social engineering tactics are one of the biggest vulnerabilities in any organization's security posture. Regular, managed security awareness training turns your workforce into an active first line of defence instead of an unintentional entry point for attackers.

Phishing simulations are controlled, realistic test attacks sent to your employees' inboxes by your IT provider. (In this case, managed by Starport.) The emails look like real phishing attempts but are completely harmless. Employees who click are immediately redirected to a training moment, and reporting gives your team insights into who needs additional education. Simulations will begin to measurably reduce your team's susceptibility to real attacks.

Security awareness training should be ongoing. Cyber threats evolve constantly, and a single annual training session becomes outdated. Starport provides managed, ongoing security awareness campaigns with regular updates to keep your team's knowledge current and your defences strong against emerging threats like AI-generated phishing and social engineering tactics.

Starport offers flexible delivery options to suit your team's preferences and location. Training can be delivered through on-site workshops at your Toronto or PEI location, or through live virtual sessions for remote or distributed teams. This ensures all staff can participate regardless of where they work.

Untrained employees generate preventable IT support tickets, from accidental malware downloads to misconfigured settings, that consume your IT team's time and your budget. Security and software training reduces the volume of avoidable incidents, meaning fewer help desk calls, less downtime, and a lower IT support cost.

Yes. Starport's managed security awareness programs include reporting and tracking, so you can see how your team's awareness evolves. Phishing simulation results show click-through rates and trends, and ongoing campaign reporting identifies individuals or departments needing additional support, giving you data-driven insight into your human security risk.
