Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Likelihood to Recommend

Every business faces online attacks; attackers don't care who you are and will take whatever they can get. However, businesses that deal with a lot of confidential customer information like the Healthcare or Finance industries will find they are more targeted than some other businesses might be, just because attackers know that if they can get their hands on protected information, they can either perpetuate identity fraud or sell the information for a lot of money to someone who will use it for identity fraud. Hoxhunt is useful to help train all employees to recognize when a phishing attempt is being made. It may make them begin over-reporting innocent mail, but in my opinion, it is better to overreport than it is to let a single phishing attempt succeed.

Hoxhunt is a solid phishing training program
