Traditional security training falls short

With outdated approaches

Invest substantial time to run just a few awareness and phishing campaigns per year, each with an endless list of manual tasks.

Phishing campaigns are one-size-fits-all so they don’t fit employees' unique learning needs or correlate with real-world attacks.

Struggle to get employees to participate in training because they’re dull and punitive in nature, resulting in a weak security culture.

Training results rarely correlate with reality, making it hard to deliver data-driven results and communicate value to management.

With Hoxhunt

Automate training creation and delivery, which saves time and unlocks high-frequency campaigns for continuous practice.

Personalize training for every employee based on role, location, skill level, and more to better prepare employees for actual attacks.

Dramatically increase engagement with gamified training moments that reward participation and build strong security culture.

Automatically measure employee training performance and real-world behaviors to showcase results that correlate with reality.

"bringing the power of human intelligence into the security stack"

What Hoxhunt is doing is bringing the power of human intelligence into the security stack, and not just as a passive last line of defence. Now you have human threat detection as an integral part of the whole stack.

Greg Petersen
Senior Director of IT Security, Avanade
"Hoxhunt has helped us push our resilience into new territory"

Hoxhunt has helped us push our resilience into new territory, with our resilience ratio jumping up by over 500 percent. Hoxhunt has helped us surpass anything our legacy SAT tools could deliver.

Ryan Boulais
VP & CISO, AES
“I love phishing simulations!”

The fact that we rolled out Hoxhunt one and a half years ago and it's still being used so much is a great outcome. For us, the fact that people still say, “I love Hoxhunt phishing simulations!” is the best statistic of all.

Martyn Styles
Head of Information Security, Bird & Bird
“Hoxhunt is a game changer”

Hoxhunt is a game changer because we tell employees to report all suspicious emails. This gives us visibility into ongoing real phishing campaigns so we can react with activities like URL blocking and IP address blacklisting.

Tobias Hauser
Head of information security, Victorinox
"helps drive our board reporting and security strategy"

Our awareness results and human threat intelligence helps drive our board reporting and security strategy. As our employees began reporting more and more real threats, we realized we were developing a human sensor network.

Teemu Mäkelä
CISO, Elisa
"Hoxhunt training method clearly surpasses traditional solutions"

Our own internal metrics and a phishing benchmark we conducted with other large companies in the DACH region empirically validates that the Hoxhunt training method clearly surpasses traditional solutions in terms of effectiveness.

Information Security Officer, Kärcher
“The switch to gamification was really well embraced”

The switch to gamification and a carrot approach was really well embraced. And along with the broader education on real-world threats and insights into our own real threat reporting, I think the Hoxhunt training program has been received incredibly well.

Rose Lally
CISO, Altisource
“over 10,000 monthly simulations”

When I pull my monthly stats for reporting, part of what I’m pulling is how many TOTAL simulations went to just our active employees, and it’s always over 10,000 and that’s a shocking number.

Lisa Kubicki
Director, Trust & Security Training & Awareness, Docusign
“really helps with engagement”

We've seen what's possible if you make the experience for the user engaging and interesting, and make them a participant and not just a recipient. That really helps with engagement, and it drives trust in the security team, which I think is very important.

Frequently asked questions

What sets Hoxhunt apart from traditional security awareness training and phishing training software vendors?

We go beyond awareness and knowledge by driving training paths to each employee. With this unique personalized approach, we deliver up to 40 times higher engagement rates than anyone else in the industry. High program engagement means high business impact. Unlike traditional vendors, we show business impact beyond simulation performance by measuring your employees' real-world risk-reducing behavior, like reporting real phishing emails.

What are the main differences between Hoxhunt’s phishing training and phishing training in KnowBe4, Proofpoint and Cofense?

KnowBe4, Proofpoint and Cofense require security managers to invest substantial time and effort into maintaining and running a phishing training program. Campaign creation and setup is a manual task, making it difficult to personalize training at scale to fit employees' learning needs. Results of these traditional security programs rarely correlate with reality, making it hard to deliver data-driven results and communicate program value to management. Our platform, on the other hand, fully automates phishing training creation and delivery, including optimization and personalization using AI. Hoxhunt automatically measures the real-world behaviors of the employees, which means Security Managers can finally lead with trustworthy data and communicate results that correlate with reality.

How can Hoxhunt help me with real phishing attacks that land in my employees' inboxes?

Hoxhunt can analyze and instantly train employees on real emails outside of the training. When an employee report suspicious emails that are not part of phishing training, Hoxhunt Instant Feedback analyzes and classifies the email in real-time, an gives an assessment of the message with guidance if it’s safe to interact with the message. Employees don’t need to wait for a security ticket to be resolved before continuing with their work. This helps avoid situations where employees feel like they need to choose between security and doing their work.
