Security Training That Actually Changes Behavior
We built Hook Security on a simple belief: if you want people to act more securely, you need to understand how they think. Our psychology-based approach creates lasting behavior change—not just completed checkboxes.
Our Mission
Security awareness shouldn't be a job. It should be a feature that runs in the background while you focus on what actually matters.
We're building the platform we wished existed when we were running security programs ourselves—one that actually runs itself, with training people don't hate, and reports that write themselves.
Training Built on Psychology, Not Checkbox Compliance
We call our approach Psychological Security—PsySec for short. It's built on a simple idea: if you want to change behavior, you need to understand why people behave the way they do in the first place.
Understand the Why
Most training tells people what not to click. We teach them why they want to click—and how attackers exploit that psychology.
Educate, Don't Shame
Fear and embarrassment don't build security culture. Understanding does. We help people learn from mistakes without public humiliation.
Make It Memorable
Boring training gets forgotten. We use humor, storytelling, and real-world scenarios to create lessons that stick.
Drive Real Change
We measure success by behavior change, not completion rates. The goal is employees who actually recognize and report threats.
Attackers exploit psychology—urgency, authority, curiosity, fear. Our training teaches employees to recognize these triggers and pause before they act. No shame. No fear. Just science-backed training that actually sticks.
Our Story
Hook Security was born out of frustration. Our founders spent years running security awareness programs at organizations of all sizes—and hated every minute of it.
Not because security awareness isn't important. It is. It's one of the most effective ways to reduce organizational risk.
But the tools available were terrible. They required constant babysitting. The training content was boring. The reports took hours to build. And employees dreaded every minute of it.
So we built something different. A platform where campaigns run themselves. Where training is actually engaging. Where reports generate automatically. Where you can set up a program once and let it run.
We call it security awareness on autopilot. And it's changed how hundreds of organizations approach security training.
What We Believe
These aren't just words on a wall. They're how we make decisions.
Automation Over Admin
If a human has to do it repeatedly, we automate it. Your time is too valuable for manual work.
Results Over Activity
We measure success by risk reduction, not by how many emails we send. Outcomes matter. Busy work doesn't.
Education Over Embarrassment
We help people learn, not shame them for mistakes. Fear doesn't build security culture. Understanding does.
Simplicity Over Features
We don't add features for the sake of it. Every feature must make your life simpler, not more complex.
