About Hoxhunt
Hoxhunt is a security awareness platform that treats employee behavior as a measurable risk. It handles adaptive phishing exercises, awareness courses and email incident response automatically, with the aim of reducing cyber risk across an organization.
Training is personalized, so employees receive simulated phishing and awareness content matched to their behavior rather than the same course for everyone. Email incident response automation helps security teams handle reported emails with fewer resources, and the Behavior Risk Console surfaces risky real-world behavior beyond email and automates interventions. The product also helps teams reach compliance goals for awareness training.
Hoxhunt is a hosted commercial service with a demo, a pricing page, case studies, comparisons with older tools and resources such as guides and events. The website and product content are available in English and German.
