Why Reinforcing and Rewarding Cybersecurity Efforts is Crucial

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, maintaining a robust security posture within your organization requires continuous effort and vigilance.

By engaging employees consistently, recognizing their efforts, and providing ongoing education, you can ensure that cybersecurity remains a top priority and that your workforce is well-equipped to handle potential threats.

Communication Activities

After the initial launch of Hoxhunt and the firs 8 weeks, it's essential to keep the momentum going. Here are some effective communication strategies to help you engage your employees and cultivate a strong cybersecurity culture with Hoxhunt:

1. Recognizing and Rewarding Employees

Whatever your organizational culture may be, you can still give praise to your employees for making a difference and encourage them to actively participate in the training and keep on reporting suspicious emails, either with or without rewarding practices.

• Quarterly Awards: Highlight employees who have performed exceptionally well in Hoxhunt simulations. You can create categories such as "Top Phish Hunter" or "Cybersecurity Champion."
• Who should you recognize or reward? You can recognize or reward anyone taking part in the Hoxhunt training! Utilize Hoxhunt Insights for tailored recognition based on metrics like stars collected or suspicious emails reported.
• Incentives: Align the reward with your organization's culture, but ensure it's something that excites and motivates your employees. Hoxhunt provides a certificate template which you can use when rewarding users.

2. Hoxhunt Educational Content

Hoxhunt offers a wealth of educational resources that can be leveraged to keep your employees informed and engaged. We recommend utilizing two resource banks to enhance your cybersecurity culture program with Hoxhunt:

• SharePoint Folder: Access communication resources such as GIFs, infographics, and one-pagers in various languages. These materials are designed to convey basic knowledge of Hoxhunt and best practices in Human Risk Management. Access here!
• Website Resource Section: Visit the Resource Hub on our website to find a wealth of educational cybersecurity articles, stories, and reports. These resources can be used to inspire, reference, or directly include in your communications.

3. Cybersecurity Newsletter

A monthly or quarterly cybersecurity newsletter can be an effective tool for keeping employees informed and engaged. Here’s a simple structure to get you started:

• Introduction: A brief overview of the latest cybersecurity trends and threats.
• Success Stories: Highlight recent successes within the organization, such as thwarted phishing attempts or employees who have excelled in Hoxhunt simulations.
• Tips and Tricks: Share practical cybersecurity tips that employees can apply in their daily work.
• Upcoming Events: Announce any upcoming cybersecurity training sessions, webinars, or workshops.

At Hoxhunt, we also have a Newsletter template available that you can use and adapt to your brand with the help of your communications team.

4. Human Risk Management Workshop

Organizing workshops focused on human risk management can provide employees with hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of cybersecurity threats. If you have the opportunity, include content about Hoxhunt in your internal event or cybersecurity workshop. Here are some Hoxhunt topics you can include:

• Training statistics so far
• The most failed simulations and how they could have been detected
• The impact of clicking on real phishing scams
• Why it is important to report and how
• How to detect a fraudulent email
