Craig Knox
Director: Platform and Product Security

“We were a small security team tasked with building up security capabilities very quickly, and Hoxhunt has been extremely useful for us. The response platform is a force multiplier that does the initial triage for us without us having to scale out a massive team to look at every email being reported to us by our well-trained employees.”

“Hoxhunt provided a one-stop solution for security awareness, behavior change, and human risk management, including a phishing reporting process. We introduced the Hoxhunt button for users to report suspicious emails, which improved the reporting results to unprecedented levels. Previously, people were supposed to use our ticketing system, which was cumbersome, and many suspicious emails went unreported.”

This product is just way, way ahead of anything else out there and nothing else has come close… It's been a great journey with Hoxhunt, and it's been ticking all the boxes we wanted it to, and more. There's so many benefits that Hoxhunt has given us that we didn't even imagine were possible.”

The end goal is a cultural shift, which means that a cybersecurity awareness program should be more ambitious than just creating awareness. It should lead to behavior change. To accomplish this, we found the perfect partner in Hoxhunt. The combination of gamification, a personal and automated learning experience, and efficient incident response capabilities makes Hoxhunt stand head and shoulders above the competition.

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.

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 touches both IT and HR: IT for the intelligence from the simulations, HR because it touches every employee.

“The most important part that Hoxhunt improves is the people part, and those processes and technologies that cost a lot are almost useless when people are the greatest source of risk.”

Hoxhunt is different from the competition because it integrates the human layer with the technology layer. It connects people, processes, and technology.

“Our defenses are as weak as the weakest point. Hence we decided and managed to train and test 100% of our staff. Hoxhunt's self-service approach allowed us to reach this objective and make sure that our staff builds a wall around our assets rather than open doors and windows.”

Head of information security

“Before Hoxhunt, we didn’t know what kinds of spam and phishing emails our users were getting. But now, with Hoxhunt, it’s 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. "

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 provided a good way to connect the technology with the people and processes of our security system and improve overall threat detection and response.

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 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.

“I think the training just speaks for itself. The simulations are really well made and people learn from them. We are really happy with how it’s going.”

In IT and security, we have way too much to do, and keeping up with security is such a big job. Security people are hard to find and we don’t want the ones we have to sit and administrate a system like this; we want them to work on security.

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.

The point of Hoxhunt's program is to increase reporting and because of that increase in reporting you'll see a decrease in clicking.

I would definitely recommend Hoxhunt to other CISOs and I have already. Hoxhunt has gone well beyond the traditional check-a-box mentality of passive e-learning. There has definitely been a change in our security culture since we started using Hoxhunt.

I have been in IT for 30 years but I’ve never seen such professional onboarding like at Hoxhunt.

"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."
