Security awareness training is a fundamental building block in the fight against cybersecurity attacks on an organization. Ensuring that your employees are fully trained to recognize the signals of a cyber threat is an essential risk management strategy. Understanding how to spot phishing signals helps build resilience against many cyber-attack forms. Human errors, too, are behind many data leaks and can compromise IT and data resources. The 2024 ENISA Threat Landscape report states that "a major cause of data breaches in the cloud is still the human factor." Therefore, organizations of all sizes and sectors must use security awareness training to mitigate the human factor behind security risk.

Hoxhunt and TitanHQ Security Awareness Training are leading platforms offering cybersecurity awareness training. However, the two solutions are not identical, and understanding their strengths and weaknesses can help in evaluating either solution for your needs

Here, we explore both solutions to help you decide which is best suited to your organizational requirements.

Core Focus and Approach

Hoxhunt focuses on enterprise-level human risk management. It uses AI-driven simulations and gamification to engage users through personalized micro-trainings. The highly interactive platform encourages users to report phishing attempts and complete training through positive reinforcement and leaderboards. Its strength lies in its ability to adapt simulations based on individual user behavior, making it highly dynamic in promoting long-term behavior change.

TitanHQ's Security Awareness Training solution, TitanHQ SAT, can be seamlessly integrated with TitanHQ's range of email security solutions for comprehensive and cost-effective protection.

TitanHQ SAT supplies real-time corrective training to mitigate risky behavior and reduce risk.

It also excels in phishing simulations and provides real-time metrics to monitor staff performance, making it an excellent fit for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

Real-Time Training Feedback

Learning is optimized when feedback is immediate. This engages people and helps them learn, understand risky behavior, and remember. TitanHQ SAT leverages real-time interactive training, providing immediate feedback and training whenever an employee takes a risky action. Hoxhunt similarly provides immediate interaction when risky behavior is detected, using what it terms “micro-lessons designed to be quick and engaging.”

Behavior-Adjusted Security Awareness Training

Security awareness training is all about changing people's risky behavior. Therefore, any security training package worth its weight needs to be behavior-based. TitanHQ SAT is designed to modify training based on how employees react to the training content and phishing simulations. TitanHQ SAT's training is based on specific user behaviors of individual employees. The automated security training TitanHQ SAT provides uses real-time behavioral triggers to modify content. Hoxhunt also uses behavioral drivers to modify and adjust training programs for individual users.

AI-Powered Security Awareness Training

AI can deliver some capability in training employees on the dangers of cyber threats. Hoxhunt leverages GenAI to generate content for phishing simulations and content. TitanHQ applies AI to many of its security solutions, including TitanHQ SAT. TitanHQ uses AI to adjust automated phishing simulations to modify requirements in line with real-world threats.
