Habitu8 Marches Into 2019 Feeling Groovy After Being Named Gartner 'Vendor to Note' in Security AwarenessLOS ANGELES, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Habitu8, the security awareness training startup that is disrupting the market, has been listed as a Vendor to Note on Gartner, Inc.'s latest release of its industry-defining Magic Quadrant for Security Awareness Computer-Based Training. Habitu8 entered the market late last year with a mission to change the industry. The ripple effects since its launch are clear: content is king. Companies of all sizes are confirming the desire for high-quality, high production value video content to train employees by investing heavily into those resources. Some people have been saying that Habitu8 has the best content on the planet. Gartner seems to be noticing. Gartner's iconic report makes a few key statements about the industry:
Gartner specifically took an opportunity to comment on the industry-buzz around gamification, noting that clients are used to experiences like PlayStation 4 & Xbox and they "quickly realize that the security awareness gamified content is nowhere near that level of sophistication." This is a very powerful statement on what Habitu8 believes is a "buzzword product" as well. Until vendors are able to provide an experience for the user nearly identical to that of a true gaming experience, content is where it's at. Habitu8 Founder & CPO Jason Hoenich agrees with this completely: "It is easy to get caught up in the latest industry buzzwords, gamification being the leader of them. I have yet to see anything in the form of gamification that does the experience justice in a way that I would have used it at companies like Disney, Activision Blizzard (both of which have foundations in the gaming world), or Sony Pictures when I was managing those programs. We have a long way to go for what is really a boutique experience that often won't scale beyond technical teams." Habitu8 is closing out its first full year with stellar sales performance attributed to a high-quality flagship product and incredible brand recognition. This along with a product roadmap and vision that will turn the industry on its head means Habitu8 has investors lining up. More to come on that in the near future...
