Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness® (MA) delivers security awareness and compliance training through microlearning sessions, quizzes, automated phishing simulations, and compliance training modules.

This guide explains the initial configuration process for MA.

Required configuration options # Direct link to this section

You must configure these options as a minimum:

   • Integrate MA with Azure Active Directory (AD) or Microsoft 365 — See Integrating Managed Security Awareness with Azure Active Directory or Microsoft 365.

2. AllowList MA emails from a variety of email providers such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — See Managed Security Awareness AllowListing.
