Case Study: Valmet improves cybersecurity awareness and phishing resilience with Hoxhunt

Valmet Provides Employees Cybersecurity Training With Hoxhunt

Valmet, a leading global developer and supplier of technologies, automation systems, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries, wanted to improve employee cybersecurity awareness. Its security team was already sending internal awareness emails, but the effort was infrequent, hard to measure, and did not teach employees how to respond when they encountered suspicious emails or social engineering attempts. Valmet chose Hoxhunt to strengthen its cybersecurity training program.

Hoxhunt rolled out adaptive phishing and security awareness training across Valmet’s employees, subcontractors, and partners, using frequent microtraining and easy reporting through a plugin. The program gave the security team visibility into user performance and incident reporting, and it produced measurable results: more than 9,000 users were enrolled, 60.9% became active users, and the failure rate dropped to 3.7% by the end of December 2019. Valmet and Hoxhunt are now working to increase participation further and reduce the failure rate to 2%.
