They trick
Fake phishing emails are designed to catch employees out, increasing stress without improving results.
The best defense is a positive offense
Looking for better results from your security awareness training? Where traditional phishing tests use ‘gotcha’ tactics that trick employees into failure, CyberHoot’s positive reinforcement approach trains them to recognize and report real threats.
Leading MSPs and SMBs automate their security awareness training with CyberHoot
THE PROBLEM
Your employees dislike traditional phishing tests
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.
