Why Security Teams Choose HumanShield
Modern technology, better user experience, and superior results at a fraction of the cost.
AI-First Technology
HumanShield uses advanced AI to generate contextual phishing templates and adapt training difficulty automatically. Legacy platforms rely on static content libraries that quickly become outdated.
Modern User Experience
Our beautiful, intuitive interface drives 85-90% engagement rates. Legacy platforms have cluttered, outdated UIs that users avoid, leading to poor adoption and completion rates.
Transparent Pricing
Save 35-45% with all-inclusive pricing and no hidden fees. Legacy platforms nickel-and-dime with charges for API access, premium templates, and professional services.
Rapid Deployment
Launch campaigns in under 24 hours with our streamlined setup. Legacy platforms require weeks of configuration, professional services, and complex integrations.
Behavior-Focused
We measure and improve actual user behavior with real-time risk scoring. Legacy platforms focus on completion rates rather than behavior change and risk reduction.
Continuous Innovation
Monthly feature releases based on customer feedback and emerging threats. Legacy enterprise vendors move slowly with annual or quarterly update cycles.
