Hoxhunt

My workplace uses Hoxhunt to train employees how to identify phishing and other scam emails that could potentially be dangerous if clicked on. Hoxhunt sends an email to me every so often that resembles one of these dangerous emails, and it is my task to identify it and report it. Then Hoxhunt goes through an explanation and teaches me how to identify what to look for in dangerous emails so that I can more easily identify them. I, along with other employees, are much more prepared for when a real phishing attempt threatens our workplace. We will be able to identify and report it instead of falling for it and clicking on the link.

Our organization uses Hoxhunt to train us to spot malicious emails. Some of the Hoxhunt emails are tricky as they appear to originate from a coworker. Because of the training I have received at work, I have become attuned to potential threats and inspect my emails carefully both from my work and personal accounts. I feel equipped now to spot the culprits and I appreciate that my organization has invested not only in its security but also in mine. Hoxhunt is a great tool to inform and educate its audience about potential cyber threats. Hoxhunt is so much better than stale security videos in monotone dialogue. I get a Hoxhunt email every couple of weeks and they are very creative!

Hoxhunt is used everyday to make us aware and alert on suspicious emails. Personally I think it's a great idea as we deal with a wide range of data from the resident and businesses in our Borough. Therefore we need to ensure everything is secure and any threats to compromise the data is eliminated as soon as possible.

We have signed on for the full training package and get frequent emails set to "test" employees current security awareness and then provide training and feedback on the outcomes. Email security, in particular, is a big threat as we have a high volume of external communications over a very broad user base with varying degrees of computer literacy. It is vital to ensure the staff are aware of the potential risks and are upskilled in identifying them as well as taking the correct actions to mitigate the threat to the business.

The Hoxhunt emails and quizzes were very useful to raise awareness of email phishing. It was well explained, how to better spot possible phishing emails and the new tricks that are used. I would recommend it. Hoxhunt produced test emails every 1-2 weeks, and checked if the employees are flagging them as 'phishing' email in the Outlook application.
