Hoxhunt Expands Email Incident Response Automation with Hoxhunt Respond to Cut Phishing Tickets by Up to 99%

The platform turns employee threat reports into automated investigation, campaign detection, triage, and inbox-wide remediation in minutes

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoxhunt, the world's leading Human Risk Management platform, today announced expanded capabilities for Hoxhunt Respond, its email incident response automation platform for security operations teams. Respond can reduce phishing tickets requiring analyst attention by up to 99% and remediate confirmed malicious campaigns in under one minute.

Effective phishing training creates a valuable result: employees recognize and report more real threats. It also creates more work for the security operations center. A single campaign can generate hundreds of duplicate reports, while Hoxhunt data shows that roughly 80% to 85% of all employee-reported emails are benign.

Respond automatically investigates each reported email, groups related messages into a single campaign-level incident and suppresses safe or duplicate reports. Once a threat is confirmed, it finds matching messages across affected inboxes and removes them automatically, with reversible remediation and immediate feedback for employees.

Hoxhunt Respond Includes Four Core Products:

• Instant Feedback: Employees receive in-the-moment feedback on their real threat reports, mirroring the reward-based skill building in the simulated environment to lock in behavior change.
• Incident Orchestration: Classifies reported emails, correlates related reports, and prioritizes incidents so analysts receive a clean, campaign-level signal instead of hundreds of individual tickets.
• Search & Destroy: Locates and removes confirmed malicious messages across inboxes in seconds, including copies that employees have not reported.
• Feedback Rules: Identifies known-safe communications and gives employees immediate, customizable feedback, reducing false alarms while reinforcing the reporting habit.

"Getting employees to habitually report suspicious emails is one of the biggest wins we can achieve in cybersecurity, and a surge of threat intelligence should help, not hinder, the SOC," said Mika Aalto, co-founder and CEO of Hoxhunt. "Hoxhunt transforms the workforce into a distributed network of threat sensors, and Respond finds the signal so the SOC can quickly respond, without generating more manual work. One employee can spot the attack, and automation can remove it for everyone else."

The Hoxhunt Respond platform has been documented to save more than 900 hours of SOC analysis per month at enterprise companies—equivalent to the monthly work of three to five full-time threat analysts.

Hoxhunt analyzes reported emails using models trained on 10 years of real employee-reported phishing data and intelligence from more than five million human sensors. The platform classifies malicious emails with 96% accuracy and safe emails with more than 99% accuracy.

Five major companies won prestigious CSO50 awards in 2026 for their phishing training and human risk management programs, powered by the latest Hoxhunt capabilities.
