About Hoxhunt
Hoxhunt sells a human risk management platform that combines phishing simulation, security awareness training and email incident response automation. It is aimed at enterprise security teams and awareness leaders who need to train large workforces and cut the manual effort of running campaigns. The platform uses AI to build personalised simulations across email, SMS, voice and callback, Microsoft Teams and deepfake video. Each employee receives training shaped by their role, location and past behaviour, and repeat clickers get a faster cadence until they improve. Instant micro-lessons arrive when someone reports or clicks, and gamified elements such as streaks and leaderboards encourage participation. Reported emails feed a human threat detection network, and an agentic reasoning engine keeps adapting difficulty and scenarios using live threat intelligence. Hoxhunt also correlates signals from its own platform and third-party tools to show behavioural risk at employee, team and organisational level, then triggers coaching or escalation.
