Paubox, a HIPAA-compliant email security provider, has launched Security Awareness Training, a phishing simulation product integrated into its Email Suite. The tool enables IT and compliance administrators to identify which employees opened, clicked, or entered credentials on simulated phishing emails. The launch follows Paubox research showing 85% of healthcare IT leaders consider employee negligence a top email security risk. The product assigns employees Low, Medium, or High risk scores and includes built-in phishing scenarios that can be sent as written or generated using AI variations. All simulations require human review before sending. Security Awareness Training helps organisations meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements by maintaining campaign history and six-year audit logs. The product operates from the existing Paubox Email Suite dashboard, eliminating the need for separate logins or employee roster management. Paubox serves over 9,000 organisations and holds HITRUST certification.
Two in five healthcare organizations are building with AI without a developer, Paubox finds. Business Wire Paubox will publish a benchmark of who builds with AI coding assistants inside healthcare, based on a survey of 151 leaders. SAN FRANCISCO, September 03, 2026-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Paubox commissioned a survey of 151 healthcare leaders in July 2026. Respondents were screened to organizations that transmit protected health information (PHI) electronically. All of them already use AI coding assistants to build or modify software. Every data point is scoped to healthcare organizations already using these tools rather than to healthcare organizations generally. The headline finding concerns people rather than technology. IT staff are building with AI coding assistants at 84% of the organizations surveyed, against 58% for developers and engineers. At roughly two in five of these organizations, developers are not among the builders at all. The staff building with AI at most organizations sit outside the engineering function: IT teams, operations and administrative staff, compliance officers, and clinicians. Widening that pool came as a side effect of adoption. Four out of five healthcare leaders rate the ability to let non-developers build an important reason they adopted these tools. Eighty percent of the organizations surveyed have deployed AI-assisted tools that patients use directly. Paubox will publish The 2026 benchmark for building with AI in healthcare, its first study of how healthcare organizations use AI coding assistants. The full report will cover the volume of tools these organizations are producing and what they build with AI assistance. It also maps the agent infrastructure connecting AI services to core systems, and where healthcare leaders expect AI-assisted development to go over the next 12 months.

Source Credit: Paulbox 2025 Healthcare Email Security ReportWhat You Should Know: – A new 2025 report from Paubox reveals a critical disconnect between the perceived security readiness and actual email vulnerability within healthcare organizations. While 92% of healthcare IT leaders express confidence in their ability to prevent email-based data breaches, 8 out of 10 admit to worrying about their HIPAA compliance status, highlighting a dangerous overconfidence that leaves patient data exposed.– The report, “2025 Healthcare Email Security Report” leverages survey data from 150 U.S. healthcare IT leaders, breach analysis, and configuration audits, argues that email remains healthcare’s largest cybersecurity vulnerability. Critical gaps persist due to outdated systems and tools that create significant user frustration, leading staff to bypass security protocols.The Confidence Gap: Why Perceived Security Isn’t RealityThe confidence expressed by IT leaders is undermined by common on-the-ground realities. The Paubox report points to widespread security weaknesses that are often overlooked, including:User-dependent encryption that relies on staff to take extra steps.Partially configured email authentication tools like DMARC and SPF.A lack of formal incident response workflows for email-related risks, which is a HIPAA violation.Failure to review email logs and analytics.“Too often, organizations rely on infosec policies, user training, or manually enforced controls—rather than implementing automated, policy-driven email encryption solutions,” said Andrew Hicks, a partner at Frazier Dieter Advisory, LLC. “This overreliance on human-dependent safeguards introduces unnecessary risk.”This gap is further widened by significant barriers to adopting modern, HIPAA-compliant email solutions
