THE PROBLEM

Your employees dislike traditional phishing tests

They trick

Fake phishing emails are designed to catch employees out, increasing stress without improving results.

They punish

Traditional testing punishes those who make mistakes, forcing additional training that lowers morale.

They fail

Typical simulation training is unengaging, so users drop off and fail to learn the security awareness they need.

THE CYBERHOOT DIFFERENCE

Stop attacking. Start supporting.

The research is clear. Fake phishing tests and “fail” grades don’t encourage employees and can actually increase vulnerabilities by making employees more anxious, less confident, and more likely to click. CyberHoot’s positive reinforcement builds genuine security awareness.

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT

Don’t create anxiety. Build confidence.

Fake phishing emails designed to catch employees out create stress and reduce trust between employees and IT teams.

CyberHoot’s interactive training teaches employees how to spot threats, building genuine security awareness through positive reinforcement.

INCREASED ENGAGEMENT

Positive gamification beats negative training

Traditional static training models are dull and unengaging. Researchers, presenting at Black Hat, found over 50% of employees abandon them in under 10 seconds, leaving serious awareness gaps unmitigated.

In contrast, CyberHoot’s gamified, interactive training turns engagement into lasting cybersecurity habits.

INCREASED SECURITY

Address real threats with realistic scenarios

Attack phishing simulations use simple, predictable domains that don’t match the vendors they impersonate, making them easy to spot and failing to build real awareness.

CyberHoot uses hyper-realistic scenarios that teach employees to recognize actual threat indicators via interactive walkthroughs.

SMARTER ANALYTICS

Complete visibility drives measurable improvements

Traditional phishing emails are often only tracked when a user clicks. If employees ignore the email, you get zero insights into their security readiness.

CyberHoot’s interactive training monitors every individual user’s progress with 100% visibility for all users, tracking improvements, and identifying weak links.
