If emails are used for confidential communication, Hoxhunt is a HUGE benefit. I have caught myself feeling lax over emailing and clicking links. Hoxhunt makes you really evaluate safety and legitimacy of the emails that are received. We even have laughs about it at staff meetings where staff admit to getting "hoxhunted" and clicking a fake link.
If you're looking for a tool to maximize digital productivity without hindering the effectiveness of your workforce, Sophos is a great tool. It quickly & safely manages the threat level across all of our digital channels to reduce the potential engagement with fishy characters or websites that might present vulnerabilities.
Training Packages - They cover a wide range of topics that spam emails, social media and physical security such as USB sticks
Achievements as incentives - The gaming style of collecting achievements and stars for reporting emails or completing training incentivizes people to engage in a consistent and enthusiastic way.
Training Emails - They are able to replicate phishing emails in a realistic way, so it isn't easy to spot straight away meaning we now look at every email with a critical eye which makes us safer.
More training opportunities - The Hoxhunt page itself only has a few training modules which I have completed already
An even spicier spicy mode - Scammers are always evolving, so I want to be able to identify the toughest phishing attempts.
Eliminate "missed" emails. Sometimes I don't read my inbox right away. I don't think emails should count as "missed" just because I didn't report it within a few days.
it is very easy to use. it is clear and provides information as to why the type of email is one to look out for. It automatically takes you to the required information when you have spotted that it is a Hoxhunt email.
It is easy to use and setup. You can schedule the Phish email test to be sent out in the future or right away. You can also send to all users in your list as well as stagger so all users do not get the email at the same time and tell each other there is a test going on
Support is solid but not spectacular. While I haven't used support for Phish Threat specifically, this is a general rating for Sophos' support across the board. It could be easier to find the FAQ or other information I need, but when I've needed to reach out to support they've been good to work with.
Symantec was something I used in my previous company, it had some issues once in a while where I had to re-generate the code for my new ID. I know its for over all protection, but if I didn't have my phone that day, I'd be unable to log in. Hoxhunt helps that way as there is a SSO authentication and needs the fingerprint, I guess it works different for different companies based on their regulations and privacy protection. Haven't really used any other tool like this
We selected Phish Threat because it was an easy to use add-on for our existing Sophos solution. By having it integrated into our existing antivirus, email, and encryption suite it allowed for a single pane of glass management in addition to robust total reporting of what users and computers we need to be most concerned about.
I have been able to identify and report 3 real scam emails thanks to Hoxhunt.
Unfortunately I have no data of the overall company's benefit with regards to the use of Hoxhunt.
The training has also been helpful to me in my personal email. I think that helps with work productivity, because I haven't been in the situation where I'm worrying about having been scammed outside of work.
