Security awareness companies

Phishing simulation and human risk training platforms.

What to look for

Verizon found a human element in 62% of the breaches in its 2026 report, with phishing the first step in 16% and pretexting in 6%.¹ Security awareness platforms send employees simulated phishing messages, train those who fall for them and track how often staff report suspicious email. Products range from compliance-focused course libraries to adaptive simulation programs such as Hoxhunt that change difficulty for each person. Our phishing click rate research shows how far failure rates fall after a year of training.
