Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an end-user. We use Hoxhunt Gamified Phishing Training to simulate phishing attacks and spam and allow employees to demonstrate how they would react to emails asking them to give up personal or sensitive information, or emails that guide them to click malicious or misleading links. As a large company with many end-users, it is great to get exposure to attacks that other business units might see.

Pros and Cons

Simulated attacks
Awareness maintenance
Vigilance

Needs to be more end-user specific
Needs to be more frequent to reflect reality of attacks

Most Important Features

Simulated phishing
End-user feedback
Vigilance verification

Return on Investment

I imagine it has prevented quite a few social engineering attacks!
Does cause people to potentially take phishing emails less seriously (for example if one is mistaken for a training email)

Likelihood to Recommend

This is appropriate for any position that uses email (this is almost every position, these days). All employees with email access are attack vectors for malicious actors; keeping them informed and vigilant is of paramount importance. It may be less appropriate for completely closed (i.e. air-gapped) systems separated from the wider internet.

Hoxhunt Gamified Phishing Training keeps me on my toes!
