Your Voice is Your Defense - Introducing Hoxhunt Voice Phishing Training

Conversations are dangerous. At least, when it comes to phishing.

When a phishing email lands in your inbox, your practice kicks in: you pause, re-read, check the sender, hover over links, and consider if something feels off. You reflect before you react.

But what about a phone call?

In a live conversation, you're expected to process information in real-time and react instantly. Scammers love this. They can push past your critical thinking, putting them at a significant advantage.

Let’s reclaim the advantage.

Introducing Hoxhunt Voice Phishing Training

Scammers advantage in voice-based attacks is coming to an end. Our immersive Voice Phishing Training capability empowers your employees to talk to attackers with confidence.

Employees learn to keep calm, identify social engineering tactics, and resist manipulation during live phone calls. It all happens in a safe environment, where users practice both defensive and offensive scenarios.

Potential victims become resilient defenders.

Experience the Threat with Voice Phishing Training

Our interactive Voice Phishing Training immerses beyond typical SAT lessons.

Employees experience conversational social engineering situations first hand. They learn to identify and counter attackers' tactics in the moment.

Build Your Resilience with Defensive Scenarios

• Safe space with real pressure: Employees can safely experience attackers' pressure and emotional tactics in realistic interactions. Instead of dire consequences, they get invaluable learnings.
• Practice makes perfect: In our training scenarios, employees develop muscle memory to stay cool, calm, and collected, even when under duress or facing aggressive social engineering attempts.
• Confirm before you act: Active training instills critical habits, such as always confirming identities, verifying requests through alternative channels, and never rushing into decisions based solely on a phone call.

Know Your Enemy with Offensive Scenarios

• Step into the attacker's shoes: Our unique offensive scenarios allow employees to role-play as an attacker, attempting to phish for information or access.
• Master social engineering tactics: Employees gain a profound understanding of how social engineer’s psychological tricks work. By practicing the tactics themselves, employees can recognize when these very same tactics are being used against them.

Voice-Based Training at Scale with AI Agents

AI Voice Agents, the Future of Vishing

At the heart of our new capability are our cutting-edge AI voice agents. These aren't recordings. Our AI agents are tasked with a role and mandate, and respond like real persons.

The audio chats feel like real conversations. The interactive, immersive training experience leads to active learning. As the AI adapts to the conversation flow, each learning session becomes unique and personal.

Customized Scenarios for Your Threat Landscape

Hoxhunt provides ready-made scenarios that allow employees to experience common voice phishing attacks. Add customized training scenarios to unlock additional benefits:

• Adjust existing scenarios, or create entirely new ones, to reflect the attacks and threats your organization faces.
• Integrate scams your employees have actually encountered, making the training directly relevant.
• Focus training on the risks you most care about, whether it’s information disclosure or unauthorized access, or operation specific worries.

What is Voice Phishing (Vishing)?

Voice phishing, often referred to as "vishing," is a type of social engineering attack carried out over the phone. Attackers impersonate trusted entities, like banks or IT support, to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that benefit the attacker (e.g., giving out passwords, transferring money, downloading malware).

Unlike more passive email phishing, vishing over the phone relies heavily on real-time psychological manipulation and persuasion by the caller. Just like with training, use of AI voice agents turns vishing into a scalable attack vector.
