Fully Managed Phishing Simulations and Training
Last 30 days
Fully Managed or Self-Managed. Your Call.
Let Hook run the program on Autopilot, run it yourself, or do both on the same platform.
Autopilot
Set the frequency and audience once. Hook runs every cycle for you.
- Hook picks and sends a phishing simulation every cycle
- Hook enrolls your people in a new training course every cycle
- A heads-up preview before every simulation
- Results emailed to you when tracking ends
- Monthly, every two months, or quarterly
Run it yourself
Same platform, full control over every simulation and course.
- Pick any template from the library and send yourself a test first
- Choose everyone, specific groups, or individual people
- Start now or schedule it, and spread sends over up to 30 working days
- Assign up to 12 courses at once with your own start and due dates
- Track progress, and edit or cancel anything that has not started yet
Running both? Autopilot keeps its schedule, and you can launch your own simulation or assign extra training any time.
How Autopilot Works
Set it once. Hook runs every cycle.
Pick a cadence and an audience
Monthly, every two months, or quarterly, for everyone or specific groups. Before you save, Hook shows when the first one goes out.
Get a heads-up first
Preview contacts get an email a few business days before every simulation, with the email itself, what to look for, and the sending IPs to safelist.
Hook runs each cycle
Phishing Autopilot picks and sends a simulation, spread over one to fourteen days. Training Autopilot picks a course and enrolls your audience.
Results come to you
Report contacts get the simulation report when tracking ends, and the Autopilot overview always shows the next date.
What's Included
Autopilot manages two programs on one schedule: phishing simulations and training that run without anyone on your team launching them.
Phishing Autopilot
A new phishing simulation every cycle, picked and sent by Hook to the audience you choose.
Training Autopilot
One course from Hook's library each cycle. Everyone in the audience is enrolled on the start date and gets a direct course link, no Hook password needed.
Heads-up previews
Preview contacts see each simulation a few business days early: the email, what to look for, and the sending IPs to safelist.
Spread-out sends
Send each simulation over one to fourteen days, so identical emails landing at once don't give it away.
Results by email
Report contacts get the simulation report when tracking ends. Training enrollments are marked Autopilot, so you can track progress and send reminders.
Always know what's next
The Autopilot overview shows whether each program is on, how often it runs, and its next date.
Why Autopilot?
Some teams want control. Others want results without the work.
Fully Managed
Hook picks, schedules and sends every simulation and enrolls every course. Your team focuses on their actual job.
Nothing to Build
Every simulation and course comes from Hook's library, so there are no emails to write and no enrollments to schedule.
Practice on Schedule
Simulations and training land on the cadence you set, not whenever someone finds the time.
Easy to Change
Change the frequency or audience any time. Turn a program off and your settings are kept for when you turn it back on.
Powered by Our Platform
Autopilot runs on the same platform you can manage yourself, so switching between managed and hands-on never means switching tools.
Autopilot FAQ
Common questions about Hook's fully managed Autopilot program and running Hook yourself.
Both. Autopilot is the fully managed option: every cycle, Hook picks and sends a phishing simulation, enrolls your people in a training course, and emails you the results. If you would rather run it yourself, you can launch your own phishing simulations and assign your own training in the same platform, alongside Autopilot or instead of it.
Choosing and sending each phishing simulation, spreading the send so identical emails do not tip people off, enrolling your audience in a new course each cycle with a direct course link, sending a heads-up preview before every simulation, and emailing the results when tracking ends. You set the frequency and audience once.
It means your phishing simulations and training run on a schedule, without anyone building and launching each one. With Hook Autopilot you pick a frequency and an audience once. Each cycle, Hook picks a phishing simulation or a training course and runs it for the people you chose.
Phishing Autopilot sends a phishing simulation each cycle and emails the results to your report contacts when tracking ends. Training Autopilot enrolls your audience in one course from Hook's library each cycle. Each has its own settings, so you can turn on either one or both.
Monthly, every two months, or quarterly. You set the frequency for each program, and the Autopilot overview always shows its next date. Before you save, a "What happens next" panel shows when the first send or enrollment goes out.
Yes, if you add preview contacts. They get a heads-up a few business days before each simulation, showing the email, what to look for, and Hook's sending IP addresses to safelist. Previews are for awareness; you change the program in Autopilot settings.
No. On the start date everyone in the audience is enrolled and gets an email with a direct course link that does not need a Hook password. With single sign-on, people can also sign in with their work account.
No. Every Hook plan includes Autopilot, along with the full course library and automated reporting. See the pricing page for current plans.
Yes. Each client organization keeps its own Autopilot frequency and audience, so simulations and training keep running across clients without anyone launching them by hand. See the For MSPs page for partner pricing and multi-tenant management.
Hook stops including your organization in new cycles. A simulation that is already prepared may still send, and courses already assigned stay open to learners. Your settings are kept, so turning Autopilot back on restores them.
