Cyberaware vs Huntress SAT comes down to what you want managed. Cyber Aware suits Australian SMBs and MSPs that need white-label branding, per-seat pricing with no minimums and Essential Eight/SMB1001 evidence. Huntress SAT suits teams already inside the Huntress ecosystem that want a fully managed, story-based programme run by Huntress's own researchers — and can accept co-branding instead of white-labeling, with no Australian framework mapping for training.
TL;DR
- Huntress SAT is fully managed: Huntress researchers design and run monthly phishing campaigns end-to-end; you do nothing. Cyber Aware gives automation plus control with Auto Phish.
- Pricing: Huntress publishes $2.08/learner/month with tiers starting at the 50-99 learner band and a standard 12-month term. Cyber Aware is per-seat with no minimums.
- Branding: Cyber Aware white-labels the portal, emails, reports and certificates. Huntress SAT is co-branded — logo and colours on notifications and certificates, no custom portal domain, no MSP-branded phishing emails.
- Australian compliance: Cyber Aware maps training evidence and gap assessments to the Essential Eight and SMB1001. We found no SAT-level mapping to either framework in Huntress's materials.
- Verdict: Australian SMB or MSP serving Australian clients — Cyber Aware. Already running Huntress and want zero admin — Huntress SAT, which is excellent at what it does.

What each platform is
Cyber Aware is a human-risk platform built for Australian SMBs and the MSPs that serve them: story-driven training modules, phishing simulations, a per-learner Human Risk Score and framework-mapped gap assessments (Essential Eight, SMB1001) — all brandable end-to-end.
Huntress SAT (Managed Security Awareness Training) is a fully managed programme inside the Huntress security platform: Huntress's team picks the monthly episode, its threat researchers design and schedule the phishing campaigns, and clickers get Phishing Defense Coaching. Learners rate it highly — 4.6/5 across 173 G2 reviews.
Where Cyber Aware wins
- Australian framework evidence. Training completion, phishing results and gap assessments map to the Essential Eight and SMB1001 — the frameworks Australian clients get audited against. We found no equivalent SAT-level mapping in Huntress materials; Essential 8 appears in Huntress's Managed SIEM documents, and SMB1001 comes via a CyberCert certification-bundle partnership, not mapped training content.
- White-label depth. Portal, notification emails, phishing emails, reports and certificates all carry your brand with no Cyber Aware branding visible to end clients. Huntress co-brands but does not offer a custom portal domain or MSP-branded phishing emails.
- Pricing shape. Per-seat with no minimums works for a 12-person firm or a 500-person one. Huntress's tiers start at the 50-99 learner band on a standard 12-month term, which is a real constraint below 50 seats.
Where Huntress SAT wins
- Genuinely fully managed. You never build a campaign: Huntress researchers handle design, scheduling and delivery, and coach the people who click. For a team with no security admin at all, that is worth real money.
- Platform depth. SAT sits inside the Huntress SOC platform (EDR, ITDR, SIEM) with billing sync into ConnectWise, Autotask and HaloPSA — a clean fit if Huntress is already your security stack.
- Learner sentiment. Story-based episodes with a 4.6/5 G2 rating across 173 reviews is a strong signal the content does not feel like compliance theatre.
Pricing compared
Huntress publishes $2.08/learner/month on its site, billed on active users via daily directory syncs, with free internal-use licences for MSPs. The catches: tiers start at the 50-99 learner band, and the standard term is 12 months. Cyber Aware publishes per-seat pricing up front with no minimums and no long-term lock-in — check current pricing directly, as rates change.
For a 20-seat business, Huntress's 50-99 tier minimum and annual term can make its effective per-learner cost higher than the headline rate suggests. Confirm both quotes before deciding.
Who each platform is best for
Choose Cyber Aware if you are an Australian business or MSP that needs Essential Eight or SMB1001 evidence, wants your own brand on everything clients see, has fewer than 50 seats, or wants phishing automation you can control rather than delegate.
Choose Huntress SAT if you already run Huntress, want the programme run entirely for you, value its story-based content and coaching, and your clients are not audited against Australian frameworks.
FAQ
Is Huntress SAT really fully managed? Yes. Huntress's team selects the monthly episode and its researchers design, schedule and run the phishing campaigns end-to-end, with Phishing Defense Coaching assigned to anyone who clicks.
Does Huntress SAT map to the Essential Eight? Not for training. Essential 8 is cited in Huntress's Managed SIEM materials and SMB1001 comes through a CyberCert certification-bundle partnership — we found no training content or gap assessment mapped to either framework. Verified July 2026.
Which is cheaper for a 20-person team? Huntress's published tiers start at the 50-99 learner band with a 12-month term, so a 20-seat team pays tier minimums. Cyber Aware is per-seat with no minimums. Model both against your headcount before signing.
Can we white-label Huntress SAT? Co-branding only: your logo and colours on notifications, certificates and reports. There is no custom portal domain and no MSP-branded phishing emails.
