Involta, an award-winning data center, hybrid IT, and cloud-forward consulting firm, announces a partnership with HacWare, an AI-driven cybersecurity awareness and training SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) product that combines threat intelligence with user behavior to help lean IT teams combat today’s most advanced phishing attacks.
“Today, email phishing attacks remain the number one source of security breaches, causing over 90% of data breaches,” states Tiffany Ricks, Founder and CEO of HacWare, Inc. “The average employee is vulnerable because they spend 1,500 hours a year using email, and many are unaware of email security best practices. Partnering with Involta gives us the opportunity to help businesses improve their email security awareness and build up their first line of defense against cyberattacks.”

HacWare learns from the intelligence to provide personalized phishing simulations and training. The phishing technology leverages behavioral psychology best practices to improve cyber posture, saving businesses up to 40% in labor costs.
“At Involta, we know the two most important things our customers can do to protect themselves from a phishing attack is awareness and education,” comments Mark Cooley, Involta VP of Security and Compliance. “Making sure that your company’s employees understand the prevalence and sophistication of these attacks is crucial. HacWare’s security awareness technology combines open-source data and data science to show employees how to avoid scams while significantly saving on traditional security training and awareness labor costs.
