What it sells: Living Security

What Livvy does[5][10]
Livvy recommends an action for each person, a playbook runs the action, and every result flows back into the Human Risk Index. Livvy can recommend step-up MFA and a credential reset for a person, then a 90-second coaching nudge, and waits for the team's approval. Approvals stay with the customer's team.
What Phishing simulation does[5][7]
Who is being targeted by real attacks, what assets those users can access and how they have behaved in the past go into shaping each test before it goes out. Living Security is launching support for phishing simulations via email and Teams. SMS, voice, and video simulations are on the Living Security near-term roadmap.
What Human Risk Management Framework does[5]
The Living Security map of how risk builds comes from the Human Risk Management Framework, which has 137 signals and is open to everyone under CC BY 4.0. In the map, signals from nine risk domains join into cohorts, cohorts feed sequences, and each sequence heads for a breach scenario.
What Living Security SCIM does[8]

About Hoxhunt

Hoxhunt sells an AI-powered platform that automates security awareness and phishing training with personalized training for employees.[5][6][7]

Hoxhunt says its platform delivers phishing simulations across email, SMS, phone calls or Teams, personalized to each employee based on department, location and more. Instant micro-trainings follow the simulations. Hoxhunt provides a library of customizable training packages, and training can be generated with AI.[5]

Hoxhunt creates an individual learning path for each employee. Simulated phishing campaigns are selected based on skill level, role, location and previous behavior. Employees receive gamified simulations and interactive training roughly every 10 days. Simulations span email, smishing, vishing and callback, Microsoft Teams, and deepfake. Hoxhunt simulates executive-impersonation and payment-approval scams with AI-generated or cloned voices. Hoxhunt can send simulated phishing messages inside Microsoft Teams and other collaboration tools.[7]

Hoxhunt delivers security awareness training as short lessons in small, regular bursts. Hoxhunt includes 300+ ready training modules in video and text, plus regulatory tracks for PCI DSS, HIPAA, DORA, and GDPR. Content Studio lets customers create their own training by turning policies, procedures and existing materials into training in under 60 seconds. Nothing reaches employees until the customer publishes it. Training can be localized in 40+ languages. Hoxhunt says training can reach frontline staff, contractors, and the board with XSAT, with no account required.[6]

On the response side, Hoxhunt investigates reported emails, groups them into a single incident, and removes the campaign across every inbox automatically. Hoxhunt pulls in threat intelligence from 5 million reporters worldwide. Hoxhunt says it classifies reported emails with 96% accuracy for malicious emails and more than 99% for safe emails. Hoxhunt suppresses safe, duplicate, and low-risk reports so the SOC can spend less time reviewing noise. Hoxhunt says the product can reduce phishing tickets by up to 99%.[2]

For risk beyond email, Hoxhunt organizes events from Hoxhunt and third-party tools into behavioral patterns at the employee, team, and organizational level. Hoxhunt combines signals from Hoxhunt, Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, and other sources into a unified behavioral view. Customers can ingest events from internal systems and proprietary tools through a flexible API. Hoxhunt can trigger coaching, policy reminders, training, or escalation based on behavior.

Hoxhunt says hundreds of global organizations use it to train millions of employees. Hoxhunt reports millions of users across 129+ countries. Customers named on its pages include DocuSign, Airbus, AES, Schindler and Nokia. Hoxhunt says Avanade saves over 900 hours of SOC analysis per month with Hoxhunt. Hoxhunt says 60% of employees report at least 1 real attack within the first year of training.[6][11]

Hoxhunt raised a Series B of $40 million with New York-based Level Equity Management. Hoxhunt raised a $3 million Series A with Dawn Capital, and Icebreaker took part. Hoxhunt operates on a SOC 2 Type II audited platform with GDPR and CCPA compliance, encryption in transit and at rest, and strict access controls. Hoxhunt has a dedicated Compliance and Security staff, and SOC2 and SOC3 reports are available for customers and prospects on request. Hoxhunt prices per employee, with the quote depending on employee count and the capabilities needed. Hoxhunt onboarding starts with connecting an identity provider, importing users and picking a launch date, and Hoxhunt says most teams are live in under two weeks.[2][4][5][6][7][12]
