Security Awareness & Training
Hoxhunt Security Behavior Platform
Gamified training with automated & personalized phishing simulations and adaptive microlearning.
Hoxhunt Security Behavior Platform Overview
What it does
Hoxhunt is a Human Risk Management (HRM) platform that combines adaptive phishing simulations, bite-sized security awareness training, and automated security operations for reported emails. The platform personalizes simulation difficulty, language, and frequency per employee using behavioral risk profiles built from role, location, and past performance. Gamification with points, badges, and leaderboards drives engagement, while instant micro-trainings reinforce correct reporting and simulation outcomes inside email clients.
How it works
Simulations deploy across email, Slack, and Microsoft Teams with AI-generated content and a threat library covering 35+ languages. Employees report suspicious messages through Outlook or Gmail add-ins; Hoxhunt analyzes submissions with AI, categorizes incidents, and can forward confirmed threats to Microsoft Defender. Admin dashboards track resilience ratios, detect rates, and simulation benchmarks to show behavior change over time. Integrations include Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Microsoft Defender for Office 365, OneLogin, and Splunk for data export.
Credentials and traction
Hoxhunt is SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 certified and GDPR and CCPA compliant. Gartner named it a Representative Provider in its 2022 Innovation Insight on Security Behavior and Culture Program Capabilities report, and Frost & Sullivan recognized it with a 2025 Competitive Strategy Leadership award for human risk management. Hoxhunt was also named a Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice vendor in 2025. Enterprise customers include DocuSign, Airbus, Nokia, AES, and Schindler.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesProvides team-level risk dashboards visible to people managers and HR, enabling business-side accountability for security behavior separate from the security team dashboard.
Syncs user rosters, role changes, and offboarding events from HRIS and identity providers, keeping the platform enrollment current without manual administration.
Includes training content mapped to specific compliance control requirements (HIPAA workforce training, GDPR data handling, PCI DSS cardholder data procedures).
Calculates individual security risk scores from observed actions (phishing simulation results, policy violations, risky application usage), rather than training completion status alone.
Sends simulated phishing emails at configurable frequency and difficulty, tracking click, credential submission, and report rates per user and department.
Intercepts risky actions (sending email to an external domain, uploading to an unapproved service), and presents a contextual security prompt before the action completes.
Assigns training modules based on each user's observed risk behaviors, role, and previous training results rather than delivering the same content to all users.
Measures security culture and employee sentiment through surveys and behavioral indicators, tracking how attitudes and norms shift over time and which teams need leadership attention.
