In an era where cyber threats are ever-evolving, CWSI is excited to announce its partnership with Hoxhunt<\/a>, a leading cyber security training platform. This collaboration aims to tackle the pressing issue of human interaction remaining that remains the weakest link in the security chain by transforming the way organisations approach user training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge of Traditional User Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Many businesses today are grappling with significant challenges related to their current training methods. Traditional approaches to cyber security training<\/a> often depend on manual processes that require substantial resources to maintain. This can lead to a burdensome cycle where organisations struggle to keep training content current and relevant. As a result, employees may find themselves participating in training sessions that feel stale and outdated, leading to disengagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Over time, as users become familiar with the training simulations, they begin to recognise the patterns and scenarios presented, effectively becoming \u201cwise\u201d to the content. This familiarity diminishes the impact of the training, as employees may no longer perceive it as a serious or effective learning opportunity. Instead, they might view it as a routine obligation, leading to a lack of enthusiasm and attention during sessions. This disengagement not only undermines the goal of the training but can also foster a dangerous complacency regarding real-world threats, leaving organisations vulnerable to cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the disciplinary nature of conventional training can create a culture of negativity and fear, where employees are apprehensive about being “caught out.” One-size-fits-all phishing campaigns fail to address the unique learning needs of individual employees and do not correlate with real-world threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why Hoxhunt Stands Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hoxhunt offers a groundbreaking solution that automates enterprise-grade security awareness and phishing training at scale. By providing personalised learning paths tailored to each employee’s role, location, and skill level, Hoxhunt prepares employees for actual attacks more effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform\u2019s gamified training moments enhance engagement, turning security training into an enjoyable experience. Employees are rewarded for their participation, fostering a strong security culture within the organisation. Hoxhunt also measures training performance and real-world behaviours, delivering results that align with actual risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With bite-sized, personalised training, employees report suspicious emails at an impressive rate of 72% on average. Instant, AI-generated feedback helps reinforce learning, making it easy for employees to understand potential threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positive training environment, incentivised through a badge system and internal leaderboards, motivates ongoing participation and cultivates lasting behaviour change. Hoxhunt has also received outstanding feedback from customers, boasting an average score of 4.8 on Gartner Peer Insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Mitchell, Chief Technology Officer at CWSI<\/strong> discussed more on the benefits to this partnership “The costs to businesses from data breaches keep rising. The global average cost of a data breach is approximately $4.35 million according to the 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report by IBM. It is widely reported that human error is responsible for the majority of these breaches, with the figure varying between 65 to 84% depending which survey you read.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a small percentage of this is down to employee malicious activity, the rest is usually down to lack of awareness by staff or social engineering by bad actors. This is why Cybersecurity training is such a vital activity to provide your staff with the knowledge and experience to reduce the risks your business faces each day.\u2019<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
