|---|---|---|
| ⚡ Attack simulations | ||
| Phishing simulation | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both Arsen and Riot support phishing simulation for email-based social engineering scenarios. |
| AI voice phishing / vishing simulation | Arsen · Yes | Riot · No Arsen simulates realistic phone-based social engineering attacks targeting frontline employees. |
| Conversational phishing simulation | Arsen · Yes | Riot · No Arsen supports conversational phishing scenarios that feel closer to real attacker exchanges than static email templates. |
| Deepfake simulation | Arsen · Yes | Riot · No Arsen deploys AI-generated voice and video impersonation as operational deepfake simulation scenarios. |
| ClickFix phishing simulation | Arsen · Yes | Riot · No Arsen supports ClickFix-style phishing simulations to test users against fake-fix and prompt-driven social engineering tactics. |
| QR-code attack simulation | Arsen · Yes | Riot · No Arsen generates QR-code payloads that mimic real-world physical and digital QR attacks. |
| Multichannel social engineering coverage | Arsen · Yes | Riot · No Arsen combines email, SMS, voice, QR, and impersonation into coordinated social engineering campaign workflows. |
| 🧠 Training and remediation | ||
| Micro-learning training | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both platforms provide short-form micro-learning training modules for employee awareness programs. |
| AI lesson creation | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both platforms support AI-assisted lesson creation. Riot handles this through its Studio module. |
| Static content delivery | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Partial Arsen supports static content delivery as part of structured awareness and remediation workflows. Riot's Studio is oriented toward custom course creation. |
| Behavior-focused human risk program | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both track behavior change over time. Riot uses a karma score, Arsen ties its score to simulation realism and difficulty weighting. |
| Triggered lesson | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both can route employees to remediation after a failed simulation. Riot directs at-risk users to a three-minute refresher. |
| Adaptative training | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Partial Arsen adjusts remediation paths based on individual behavior and risk signals. Riot automates targeting through smart groups rather than per-user adaptation. |
| Employee-facing dashboard | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both platforms provide an employee-facing dashboard experience for training and program interaction. |
| 📊 Reporting and operations | ||
| Real-time campaign reporting | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both platforms offer live dashboards during active campaigns. |
| Employee risk / security score | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both assign risk scores. Arsen weights multichannel simulation performance more heavily. |
| Employee credential exposure monitoring | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both monitor exposed employee credentials. Riot delivers this through its Breaches module, Arsen through Threat Monitoring. |
| Typosquat and look-alike domain monitoring | Arsen · Yes | Riot · No Arsen monitors look-alike domains registered against your brand alongside credential leaks. |
| Inbound email threat detection and removal | Arsen · No | Riot · Yes Riot's Slash module analyses inbound mail, warns employees inline, and removes confirmed threats across mailboxes. |
| 24/7 employee cyber hotline | Arsen · No | Riot · Yes Riot's Sonar module gives employees a round-the-clock channel to flag suspicious activity. |
| Google / Microsoft / Okta sync | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Yes Both integrate with major identity providers for user provisioning. |
| API-driven phishing workflows | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Partial Arsen exposes APIs to trigger simulations, sync results, and integrate into security toolchains. Riot does not publicly document an equivalent API. |
| Multi-tenant and white-label management | Arsen · Yes | Riot · Partial Arsen supports multi-tenant access and white-label deployment for MSPs and partners. |

Your employees still click. Awareness alone won't fix that.
Awareness platforms check compliance boxes. Arsen puts employees through realistic phishing, vishing, and deepfake scenarios, so they build muscle memory rather than knowledge they forget by the next quarter.
Riot
A broad employee-security layer covering awareness, inbound email protection, breach alerts, and a 24/7 hotline. Best suited to teams prioritizing wide coverage across security dimensions over specialized simulation depth.
Arsen
Purpose-built for realistic multichannel simulations across phishing, vishing, deepfake, and AI-driven impersonation, with behavior-change reporting that proves your program works under pressure.
Switching from Riot? We make it easy.
Arsen's team handles migration, user import, and reporting continuity so your program never misses a beat. Most teams are live within a week.

Common questions about Arsen vs Riot
-
Yes. If you want to see how Arsen works with your own use cases in mind, book a personalized demo with our team. We can walk you through phishing, deepfake, vishing, QR-code, and impersonation simulations, and show you how the platform compares with Riot in the areas your team actually cares about.
-
Absolutely. If you have questions about fit, migration, integrations, or rollout, use the demo form and our team will get back to you quickly. If it helps, we can make the conversation practical and focus only on your current program, your constraints, and whether Arsen is the right next step.
-
The easiest way to decide is to compare your must-have list against the way each platform is built. If your priority is broad employee-security coverage with inbound email protection and a support hotline, Riot may feel closer to that brief. If your priority is deeper social engineering realism, stronger multichannel simulation coverage, and clearer behavior-change reporting, Arsen is usually the better fit.
-
Yes. You do not need to rebuild your program from zero. Arsen can help you move user and group structure, maintain awareness-program continuity, configure integrations, and preserve reporting workflows so the switch feels operational rather than disruptive.
