OutKept is a phishing simulation platform that uses an open community of ethical phishers to create automated, high-quality phishing simulations and incentivises contributors with bounty rewards. The platform applies a ‘Darwinistic’ algorithm to promote successful phishing simulations and phase out less effective ones, improving simulation quality over time. OutKept provides real-time monitoring via a live dashboard and requires minimal ongoing IT management or content creation. Clients typically see a 50% reduction in interactions with phishing emails within two to three months, and vulnerability reduction can be observed after one month. The company operates globally, engaging local ethical phishers in over 20 countries, and competes with established players such as KnowBe4, Sophos, and Proofpoint. Founded in 2020, the team includes Simon Bauwens and Dieter Tine, and other co‑founders quoted in the articles.
