HoxHunt received investment from Icebreaker, Finland's newest VC company.

HoxHunt, an Espoo-based software company, received an undisclosed amount in investment funding from Icebreaker. The round also includes angel investor Risto Siilasmaa.

HoxHunt, led and founded by CTO Pyry Åvist and CEO Mika Aalto, provides and solves security solutions that are caused by attacks initiated through people. According to the founders, Information systems have evolved up to a point where it’s very hard to find technical vulnerabilities within the systems themselves. It’s much easier to use the human weaknesses. It’s much easier to pretend being someone from the IT-support doing system updates and then just directly ask for a password from the CEO. Evolution has made us vulnerable that way: humans want to trust and believe other humans.
