I’m sure you are not surprised to hear that phishing, to include spear phishing, persists as the #1 attack vector used by hackers today – and they continue to launch more sophisticated tactics to gain access to corporate networks and assets. But, did you know these alarming facts?
• 87% of the employees who opened a phishing simulation email did so on the same day it was sent – which means organizations have little time to catch a targeted attack aimed at multiple employees
• Behavioral conditioning decreased susceptible employees’ likelihood to respond to malicious email by 97% after just 4 simulations
• The most effective phishing emails contain a business communication theme and subject line, such as “File from Scanner” or “Unauthorized Activity/Access”
In PhishMe’s just released Enterprise Phishing Susceptibility Report, you’ll get access to key findings from our study conducted with 400+ customers across 23 industries. We analyzed 13 months of data collected by sending over 8 million phishing-simulation emails to more than 3.5 million employees. These results highlight the importance of understanding how complexity and context impact the phishing susceptibility of employees in an organization, and how a continuous security training program has proven to significantly change employee security behavior.
Don’t let your employees be a statistic! Download this report now to learn more about employee susceptibility behavior and how you can more effectively combat phishing.
