Hoxhunt is a Finnish cybersecurity company founded in 2016 that operates a SaaS platform designed to turn employees into active defenders against phishing and other cyber threats. The platform combines AI-driven personalization, behavioral science, and gamification to deliver security awareness training that adapts to individual users. Rather than relying on punitive simulations, it rewards positive behavior, drawing on the idea that people are most effective as a security layer when they feel empowered rather than policed.
The platform goes beyond training simulations: it incorporates real threat detection capabilities, meaning it is built to identify and stop actual risks rather than only replicate them in controlled scenarios. This positions Hoxhunt within the broader category of human risk management - treating the workforce as a dynamic security asset rather than a static vulnerability.
Hoxhunt has grown at more than 50% year-on-year and now employs over 230 people across offices in Finland, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The company describes itself as one of Europe's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups. Its stated culture centres on three operating values: openness to feedback, initiative, and collective success. Employees are given ownership of their work with an emphasis on outcomes over hours.
