Company profile
researched Aug 2026Hook Security sells a security awareness program delivered as a managed, automated service. Its platform combines two product lines: managed security training, in which the company builds courses, schedules campaigns and sends completion reminders on a set cadence, and a phishing simulator that runs simulated phishing campaigns and automatically assigns remediation training to users who click. The stated design goal is to remove ongoing administrative work from the customer, with campaigns launching, training assigning and reports generating without manual intervention.
The product connects to customer identity directories, including Azure AD, Google and Okta, to sync users, after which administrators select from prebuilt campaign packages such as annual programs, onboarding flows and compliance tracks. Reporting includes risk-score trends over time, analysis of why users clicked (described as psychological insights with AI-assisted analysis), and client-ready reports that partners can white-label. The library includes more than 1,000 phishing templates with weekly updates.
For multi-tenant users, the platform supports global campaigns that deploy across all client tenants at once, per-client branding and customization, and consolidated reporting across a partner's portfolio from a single dashboard.
Business model
Hook Security provides a software platform paired with managed program delivery: the company builds and schedules the training and phishing campaigns on the customer's behalf rather than only supplying tooling. Sales are conducted through demos and direct contact with a sales team, and the multi-tenant, white-label capabilities support resale by managed service providers to their own end clients.
Traction
The website states the platform is trusted by hundreds of MSPs and organizations, and cites program outcomes including 70% less administrative time, 2x higher training completion rates and illustrative dashboard figures such as 73% risk reduction, 1,247 phishing tests, a 94.2% pass rate and 3,892 trained users. Third-party G2 reviews from IT administrators and a partner testimonial from Ostra Security are featured.
Latest developments
Hook Security markets two product lines — Managed Security Training and Phishing Simulator — alongside multi-tenant capabilities for MSPs, including global campaign deployment across client tenants and consolidated portfolio reporting.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market
Market position
Positioned as an MSP-oriented security awareness training and phishing simulation vendor, differentiating on automation and low administrative overhead; the site references demos against competing vendors by prospective buyers and claims adoption by hundreds of MSPs and organizations.
Emphasis on "autopilot" delivery — the vendor runs campaigns, training assignment, reminders and reporting so the customer does not administer the program — together with multi-tenant management for partners, white-labeled client-ready reporting, and a non-punitive training approach focused on why users clicked rather than only who clicked.
Technology
A cloud application (app.hooksecurity.co) with a security overview dashboard covering phishing tests, pass rates and trained users. It includes one-click directory synchronization with Azure AD, Google and Okta, automated campaign scheduling and training auto-assignment, auto-remediation triggered by simulated phishing clicks, a phishing template library with weekly updates, AI-assisted analysis of user click behavior, and multi-tenant administration with per-client branding.
Go-to-market
Direct sales motion driven by demo requests and a sales team on the company website, with distribution leverage through MSP and MSSP channel partners who manage multiple client tenants; the site cites an existing partnership with MSSP Ostra Security and customer reviews sourced from G2.
Managed service providers (MSPs) and MSSP partners, plus IT-lean organizations and internal IT administrators and managers who lack staff to run a security awareness program manually.
