CyberHoot on Security Now (Audio)

Transcript

Leo Laporte: But first, a word from our sponsor, CyberHoot. Man, you need CyberHoot. It's a subscription based security awareness training platform that is the best. We just started using it, and I can tell you it is the best. If you've ever rolled out security awareness training and thought and I know I have. This feels more like a compliance exercise and actually, teaching me security. That is, very common, actually, that kind of feeling. But you should take this seriously because you do have to. We, you know, as I said, earlier, we got bit. We got phished. And, this was before we implemented CyberHoot, and it's one of the reasons we did implement CyberHoot because we, and I'm sure you in your business, really need to keep an eye on these things. Most training works kinda the same way. You try to catch users making mistakes. So these platforms, they send fake phishing emails to, inboxes. They wait for someone to click and then bam, you click, and you're gonna get assigned training after the fact. And it can find honestly, it feels pretty punitive. It is not a good way to learn. It really doesn't change behaviors. It just makes people, like, mad. That's where CyberHoot takes a really different approach. Instead of trying to trick your users, CyberHoot's Hootfish I love the name. The logo is an owl. Right? So hoot CyberHoot's Hootfish focuses on teaching them first, not in their inbox after a mistaken click, but in their browser through a trusted realistic phishing simulation. So you're not trying to catch people and embarrass them and humiliate them and punish them. The goal is simple, to build instinct before the click ever happens. And, actually, I watched Lisa go through the CyberHoot process. I looked over her shoulder while she was doing it, and I was really impressed. I was really impressed. CyberHoot is is is automated. Training campaigns, reminders, escalation to managers if you need it, reporting, all of that's handled for you. So instead of, you know, chasing users down, you get clear visibility into who has completed what and where your risks are. And here's something interesting. CyberHoot also adds, and I think this really is cool, a light opt in social layer because you're gonna get these little badges. Right? Users can connect with coworkers and actually engage in a friendly competition around training progress. It's not forced gamification. It's just enough. And people I think people really dig it to increase participation. It's not, you know, we're not building a gotcha system here. We're just making it fun. And it is. G two review I've seen people, you know, put their little owl, their little award right there in the Slack. G two reviewers rate CyberHood 4.9 out of five stars. That's pretty good. That's as good as you get. What do reviewers like? They repeatedly praise ease of use, high participation, brief content, non punitive training, full automation, and strong support.
