"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.

"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.

“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.

“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.

"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.

"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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

Phishing simulation FAQ

What is a phishing simulation?

A phishing campaign is an activity where an attacker sends an email with the intention of tricking the receiver into providing personal information, credentials, or access. To protect from malicious phishing campaigns many organizations send simulated phishing simulations to test and train end users to detect and report real attacks.

How do phishing simulations usually run?

Typically, the process of running a phishing simulation using a manual tool involves the following steps: 1) select an attack template and phishing technique 2) select a payload/credential harvesting template 3) target users 4) assign follow-on training. With a fully automated solution such as Hoxhunt your organization receives simulations and training automatically throughout the year without any manual campaign setup. It’s simple, easy, and it works.

How does Hoxhunt phishing simulations work?

Hoxhunt automatically creates individual learning paths for each employee and automatically selects attacks based on employee's skill, role and location. End users receive a simulation and automated reinforcement training on their weakest skills roughly every 10 days.

Why should you use phishing simulations?

Running phishing simulations is the most effective way to prepare your organization for real attacks. Simulated attacks will raise awareness, keep people alert, and give them the hands-on skills to detect and report any suspicious emails.

Who should I target with phishing simulations?

While you should include everyone in the organization to participate in phishing simulations, the simulations sent to each individual should be tailored and personalized to each person's skill level and context. Learning happens at the boundaries of knowledge.
