Case Study: Building Enterprise-Grade Security Awareness Training with Awaretrain
"Traditional security awareness training wasn't scaling with our growth. We needed a platform that could handle thousands of simultaneous users while delivering engaging, interactive content."
Client: Awaretrain
Industry: Cybersecurity / Security Awareness Training / E-Learning
Services: Custom software development, LMS integration, performance optimization, cloud infrastructure
Technologies: Angular, Symfony, Storyline integration
The Challenge
The cybersecurity awareness training market is experiencing explosive growth, with industry analysts projecting the market will reach $10 billion annually by 2027. Awaretrain recognized this opportunity but faced a critical technical challenge: their existing training infrastructure couldn't support their ambitious growth plans.
The core challenge involved seamless integration between three complex systems:
Storyline-generated e-learning modules: Visually created content that generates web-ready code.
Learning Management System (LMS): Where users access and complete training.
Learning Record Store (LRS): Secure data storage and progress tracking.
Performance was equally critical. With enterprises requiring training for thousands of employees simultaneously, the platform needed to maintain responsiveness under heavy concurrent usage.
