Hook Security provides security awareness microlearning, managed phishing simulations, automated remediation, compliance training, and reporting. It is positioned for small and mid-sized businesses, managed service providers, and channel partners. Its training covers phishing, social engineering, ransomware, passwords, MFA, AI and deepfakes, mobile security, and compliance topics, with support for 10 languages.

Pricing is structured around seat count and billing term. The Under 50 seats plan costs $999 per plan annually and includes the full course library, managed phishing simulations, compliance training, automated reporting, and support. Organizations with 50 or more seats can choose monthly billing at $2 per seat per month or annual billing at $20 per seat per year. The paid plans include the same listed core highlights, while the platform adds value through automated assignments, reminders, click remediation, and compliance reporting.

Integration and operational fit are central strengths. Hook Security connects with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, PingOne, Active Directory, Slack, Splunk, Vanta, Litmos, Moodle, and Bridge. SSO, directory synchronization, REST API access, webhooks, SCORM, and CSV exchange support deployment across identity, security, compliance, and learning systems. Choose it if your program needs managed simulations, structured compliance training, and connected reporting. Organizations specifically seeking risk scoring or a free starting tier should consider alternatives.
