Hoxhunt vs. Infosec IQ

If emails are used for confidential communication, Hoxhunt is a HUGE benefit. I have caught myself feeling lax over emailing and clicking links. Hoxhunt makes you really evaluate safety and legitimacy of the emails that are received. We even have laughs about it at staff meetings where staff admit to getting "hoxhunted" and clicking a fake link.

If the company is very small, the Infosec IQ solution might be a little overkill. However, for a medium to large company, I think Infosec IQ is a great tool for providing cybersecurity training, reporting, and assessment testing for all employees. Based on the information gathered during training, testing, etc., it allows the cybersecurity manager to focus on what employees need additional training or potential weak spots in the current training. This is important information to report to senior leadership. It also serves to meet cybersecurity awareness training that may be a compliance requirement for customer contracts, governmental standards, etc

• Training Packages - They cover a wide range of topics that spam emails, social media and physical security such as USB sticks
• Achievements as incentives - The gaming style of collecting achievements and stars for reporting emails or completing training incentivizes people to engage in a consistent and enthusiastic way.
• Training Emails - They are able to replicate phishing emails in a realistic way, so it isn't easy to spot straight away meaning we now look at every email with a critical eye which makes us safer.

• Set it and forget it: Multiple recurring options for campaigns to run automatically.
• Program assistance: The team at InfoSec creates content intended to meet annual training needs and produces how-to and promotional content to help guide resellers in packaging and deploying.
• Integrates with O365 and can deploy a button to minimize false alarms from employees when they accurately identify training spam.

• More training opportunities - The Hoxhunt page itself only has a few training modules which I have completed already
• An even spicier spicy mode - Scammers are always evolving, so I want to be able to identify the toughest phishing attempts.
• Eliminate "missed" emails. Sometimes I don't read my inbox right away. I don't think emails should count as "missed" just because I didn't report it within a few days.

• In our case, being in Mexico, a limit to the type of content we can use is the Spanish translation. Not all resources have this option.
• You can set dates for your monthly campaigns, but you are unable to set a time for their launch.

it is very easy to use. it is clear and provides information as to why the type of email is one to look out for. It automatically takes you to the required information when you have spotted that it is a Hoxhunt email.

They continue to work on the interface but there are still weird places where you have to hover to see options come up, weird navigation sometimes. Administering is not my favorite part of it. Need to increase their capability for uploading your own training.

InfoSec system has been up 100% since we started. never had a latency issue

We've gotten great help when we needed it. When our IT guy left who managed security, we had limited knowledge internally with all of the configuration and implementation. Support helped get us running quickly. They spent an hour or so with the new IT person and they hit the ground running. That was super easy.

Symantec was something I used in my previous company, it had some issues once in a while where I had to re-generate the code for my new ID. I know its for over all protection, but if I didn't have my phone that day, I'd be unable to log in. Hoxhunt helps that way as there is a SSO authentication and needs the fingerprint, I guess it works different for different companies based on their regulations and privacy protection. Haven't really used any other tool like this

When evaluating potential solutions for their effectiveness and return on investment (ROI), several factors stood out in our decision to choose Infosec IQ: Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration, excellent Support and Customer Service: and scalability/flexibility:

• I have been able to identify and report 3 real scam emails thanks to Hoxhunt.
• Unfortunately I have no data of the overall company's benefit with regards to the use of Hoxhunt.
• The training has also been helpful to me in my personal email. I think that helps with work productivity, because I haven't been in the situation where I'm worrying about having been scammed outside of work.

• Many cyber-security insurance policies require some form of mandatory employee security training, and some policy premiums can be reduced based on your organization's training statistics.
• It has allowed us to have a common "cyber-security" language with our customer base, making support requests flow smoother and breaches addressed quicker. It also lets us establish and enforce a more security-aware workplace tone with our customers.
