Case Study: Avanade reduces human cyber risk and saves SOC time with Hoxhunt

How Avanade reduced human cyber-risk and saved 5 SOC analyst FTEs with the Hoxhunt Human Risk Management platform

Avanade, a global IT consulting and services company, needed a better way to reduce human cyber risk. Its legacy security awareness training was overly manual, did not fit well with its Microsoft environment, and wasn’t lowering risk enough.

Hoxhunt provided security behavior change training and a response platform that integrated seamlessly with Microsoft, helping Avanade improve phishing resilience, increase real threat reporting, and automate threat analysis. The results included over 900 hours of SOC analysis saved per month, up to 5 FTEs of analyst work saved monthly, a 98% reduction in false positives and incident escalations, and a 259% increase in resilience ratio from baseline.
