Based on industry benchmarks from KnowBe4, Proofpoint, and Verizon DBIR research, this calculator estimates your organization's vulnerability to phishing attacks. 91% of successful data breaches start with a phishing attack, and 74% of breaches involve the human element.
Phishing remains the #1 attack vector, with over 90% of targeted attacks starting with a phishing email.
Measure your organization's 'phish-prone percentage' and compare it against industry benchmarks.
Identify which security controls will have the greatest impact on reducing your phishing risk.
Establish a baseline and measure improvement as you implement security awareness programs.
The phish-prone percentage represents the likelihood that an employee will click on a phishing link or fall for a social engineering attack. Industry benchmarks show untrained employees have 25-35% phish-prone rates, which can drop below 5% with consistent training.
Regular security awareness training can reduce phish-prone rates by 60-75%. Organizations that conduct monthly training with continuous simulations see the best results, with some achieving phish-prone rates under 2%.
Multi-factor authentication prevents 99.9% of account compromise attacks. Even if an employee clicks a phishing link and enters credentials, MFA blocks the attacker from gaining access to the account.
Financial services, healthcare, technology, and government sectors face the highest phishing rates. Education has the highest baseline phish-prone rate at 35.2%, while technology employees are slightly more resistant at 22.5%.
Effective programs run simulations at least monthly, use varied attack templates (not just email), provide immediate feedback when users fail, and track improvement over time. Gamification and positive reinforcement increase engagement.
Organizations with one-click phishing report buttons see 35% faster threat identification. A strong reporting culture catches phishing attempts before they spread, reducing the window of exposure significantly.
