Sales Executive - Northern & Eastern Europe

HoxHunt

HoxHunt helps you to keep your data and your employees safe in the continuously more demanding world of cyber threats.

HoxHunt is an AI based cybersecurity software that enables organisations to protect their most vulnerable asset, the human. The technical systems protecting us from cybercrime have become so advanced, that it takes enormous skill and effort to breach them. Unless, the user is tricked to give the access. While you can build bigger and stronger walls, the user will always have the keys to walk through the door. Thus, cybercriminals have started to target the users, to obtain access to the organization's systems.
