Hoxhunt

Gamified phishing training platform with analytics

Overview

Hoxhunt provides a gamified phishing training platform for organizations to improve employee cybersecurity awareness. It helps companies run phishing simulations and training modules that engage users through game-like activities, delivering real-time response data and analytics to track progress and tailor ongoing education. The product works by sending simulated phishing emails to employees, collecting their responses, and presenting immediate feedback and challenges, with dashboards that show metrics across the workforce. Hoxhunt differentiates itself with its emphasis on user engagement and continuous learning, using gamification and real-time analytics to make training an ongoing process rather than a one-off event. The company operates on a subscription model, serving businesses from its offices in Helsinki and London, with the goal of lowering organizational risk by making employees a stronger line of defense against phishing.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Kocho's January 7, 2026 partnership expands Hoxhunt's UK channel and Microsoft ecosystem reach.
  • Hoxhunt serves Airbus, Uber, Qualcomm, Docusign, and Nokia, validating enterprise demand.
  • Content Studio shipped to all customers on June 30, 2026, accelerating upsell and retention.

What critics are saying

  • KnowBe4, Proofpoint, and Microsoft bundle awareness training, compressing Hoxhunt's standalone pricing by 2027.
  • Security teams buy fewer point solutions; Kocho-style partners can resell competing suites instead.
  • If AI-generated training disappoints, Hoxhunt's June 2026 differentiation collapses into commodity content tooling.

What makes Hoxhunt unique

  • Hoxhunt's June 2026 Content Studio turns policy documents into multilingual lessons in minutes.
  • Its 2026 platform personalizes phishing simulations across email, Slack, and Teams.
  • Hoxhunt measures behavior change, with customers citing 3X fewer clicks and 225% more reporting.
