## Executive summary

As of November 2026, CybersecTools tracks 156 companies that sell human risk solutions as their main business. Phishing Simulation is part of that family. The largest groups are based in the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel. In the last 12 months they raised $292M across 16 funding rounds, 8 companies were acquired and 17 new companies started in the last two years.

From that field we chose seven solutions that send realistic fake phishing to your staff, show who clicks or reports, and teach them on the spot. KnowBe4 Platform suits companies that want a large library of templates and training in many languages that one admin can run. Hoxhunt suits teams that want simulations tuned to each person, with short trainings right after each test. Adaptive Security fits companies worried about deepfake voice calls and SMS as well as email.

The main choice is between a broad awareness platform and a simulation specialist. KnowBe4, SoSafe and usecure pair simulations with full training libraries. Adaptive Security, Keepnet and revel8 focus on realistic attacks across email, SMS, voice and chat.

Ask each vendor how it delivers simulations into inboxes without being blocked by your own email security, because delivery problems ruin results.

## How we evaluated

We looked at 73 phishing simulation solutions from 57 companies, and the 7 on this page made the cut. We combined our judgment from years of leading enterprise security programs with market data from [Mandos](https://mandos.io/data/companies?utm_source=cybersectools.com&utm_medium=shortlist), our market intelligence platform, and with the vendor and review pages listed under Sources at the end of this page. For customer feedback, we left out paid reviews, reviews by vendor staff or partners, review campaigns and anything older than two years, so you get an accurate view of what customers say.

Four traits mattered most: realistic simulations across email and other channels; training that follows a failed test; reporting by person, team and over time; and connections to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and your identity provider. We left out managed campaign services and single-channel products. The order follows how widely each product is used by teams like yours. Company momentum shows how the vendor itself is growing, so a market leader can rank first with a lower score.

## What is Phishing Simulation

Phishing simulation products send fake but realistic phishing to your own staff, by email and often by SMS, voice, QR code or chat. They record who opens, clicks, enters a password or reports the message, then give short training to people who fall for it. Reports show how risk changes over time by team or location.

This matters because most breaches start with a person clicking or sharing a login. Regular simulations teach staff to spot and report real attacks, and they give you data to show auditors and insurers that training works. Over time, fewer clicks and faster reports mean fewer real incidents.

## How they fit your cybersecurity program (NIST CSF)

NIST CSF 2.0 has six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. The grid shows which functions each pick maps to in our record, so you can see where a solution sits in your program and what it leaves to other controls.

All 7 solutions map to Protect. 3 of 7 map to Identify. 4 of 7 map to Detect. None map to Govern, Respond or Recover.

| Solution | Govern | Identify | Protect | Detect | Respond | Recover |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| All solutions on this list | 0 of 7 | 3 of 7 | 7 of 7 | 4 of 7 | 0 of 7 | 0 of 7 |
| KnowBe4 Platform | – | – | 1 of 5 (Awareness and Training) | 1 of 2 (Continuous Monitoring) | – | – |
| Hoxhunt Human Risk Management Platform | – | – | 1 of 5 (Awareness and Training) | 1 of 2 (Adverse Event Analysis) | – | – |

Each cell shows how many of the function's NIST CSF 2.0 categories the solution maps to, with the category names.

A product helps you reach these outcomes, but it does not make you compliant on its own. Your people and processes do the rest.

## CISO checklist for selecting a Phishing Simulation product

Work through these steps in order to go from untested staff to a contract you can defend.

1. **List the channels attackers use against your staff.** Email-only products miss SMS, voice and chat.
2. **Check how simulations reach inboxes past your email security.** Blocked tests give false results.
3. **Decide how training follows a failed test.** Short, timely training changes behavior.
4. **Confirm a report button for your mail clients.** Reporting is the habit you want to build.
5. **Ask how reports reach your security team.** Staff reports can catch real attacks.
6. **Check language and region options.** Training works best in people's own language.
7. **Connect your directory or HR system.** User lists stay current without manual work.
8. **Agree rules for sensitive scenarios.** Some lures can upset staff.
9. **Price per user for three years.** Channels and add-ons change the total.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How often should we run phishing simulations?

Most companies run them at least monthly, with varied timing and difficulty. Regular tests build habits better than one big campaign a year.

### Should we simulate SMS and voice phishing too?

Yes, if attackers reach your staff that way. Text and phone scams, including deepfake voices, are growing, and several products here cover them.

### Will our email security block simulations?

It can. Most products here deliver straight into inboxes or give you settings to allow their messages, so check this during a pilot.

### What should we measure?

Track the report rate as well as the click rate. Staff who report suspicious mail quickly help your security team stop real attacks.

### Do simulations upset staff?

They can if they feel like traps. Explain the program, keep training short and positive, and avoid scenarios that cause real distress.
