Our mission

Hoxhunt helps organizations turn employees from their greatest risk into their best defense.

By integrating effective anti-social engineering tactics into a holistic behavioral framework for human risk management, we can unite security teams and employees to work together as an unbeatable cyber defense.

We pioneered an adaptive training experience that people love for its gamified, user-centric design. Earning unparalleled engagement, Hoxhunt motivates meaningful behavior change and a scalable culture shift that reduces risk across the spectrum of human cyber behavior.

We are relentless about driving the transformation of Human Risk Management from the outdated, one-size-fits-all SAT model.

Changing cybersecurity behavior since 2016

Hoxhunt quickly ascended from scrappy startup, to G2’s SAT category leader, to award-winning pioneers of an emerging category: Security Behavior Change and Human Risk Management.

Hoxhunt Human Risk Management Principles

Human risk reduction must start with people.

We succeed together

Risk-first strategies over compliance

We're hungry for feedback

Human first approaches over command and control

We have courage to take initiative

Continuous skill development over  scheduled activities

Psychological safety is a must

We welcome failure and missteps as a part of the learning process and meet it with positive skill development (rather than punishment) to build secure habits.

We meet employees where they are

We meet employees where they are on their individual development paths and give guidance based on their current skill and knowledge levels.

Employees must be prepared for the real world

Practice should mimic the latest tactics used by cybercriminals and take into consideration the user’s role, language, and location.

Humans are sophisticated and require sophisticated learning paths to grow

Development strategies must incorporate the best that behavioral and data science disciplines have to offer.

Reward is essential to motivation, and motivation is essential to behavior change

All activities should favor celebration over shaming, and fun over tedium.

Two-way (rather than top-down) communication

Two-way (rather than top-down) communication facilitates the sharing and collection of information. In a noisy corporate landscape, communication channels must be monitored to prevent overuse and apathy.
