Case Study: AES Corporation achieves 5x higher employee engagement with Hoxhunt

How AES, a Fortune 500 global energy company, fueled security vigilance and measurably lowered the human factor in cyber-risks

AES Corporation, a global energy company with over 9,000 employees, faced a significant challenge with stagnant engagement from its workforce using legacy security awareness training (SAT) tools. After five years of mixed results from various major vendors, the company needed a new model to effectively reduce human risk, improve cybersecurity culture, and gain better visibility into threats. This led them to seek a solution from the vendor Hoxhunt.

By implementing Hoxhunt's human risk management platform, AES upended its traditional training approach with a gamified, individualized program. The solution delivered immediate and dramatic results, including a 526% increase in employee reporting rates and a 79% decrease in failure rates. Hoxhunt enabled AES to achieve an astonishing resilience ratio of 38, providing unprecedented visibility into human risk and embedding a culture of security as a shared responsibility across the organization.
