Case Study: IGT boosts cybersecurity awareness and reduces phishing risk with Hoxhunt

IGT Hits Cybersecurity Awareness Training Jackpot With Hoxhunt

IGT, a global gaming and betting company with 11,000+ employees across six continents, needed a better way to improve cybersecurity awareness and reduce phishing risk. Traditional awareness training was boring, punitive, and produced unclear metrics, leaving the organization with low engagement and an uncertain view of its true email-breach risk.

Hoxhunt provided a gamified, personalized cybersecurity awareness training and phishing simulation program that integrated with IGT’s email system and delivered meaningful reporting for internal KPIs and the board. With Hoxhunt, engagement climbed to over 56%, onboarding rates were several times higher than before, and simulation failure rates dropped from around 30% to 4–6%, helping IGT materially reduce phishing risk and improve security culture.
