Phishing

1 year of Phished Cyber Awareness Program

15.10.2024
As we approach the one-year anniversary of our Phished Cyber Awareness Program, we’re excited to provide an update on our progress and highlight areas where we need to improve.

About Phished

To improve the organization’s security, a holistic approach to security awareness training is essential. That is why we offer the Phished training, that includes as well Phishing Simulations as the Phished Academy for e-learning. This program is essential to change our online behaviour, it helps all of us to recognize cyber threats and incidents and enhances our cybersecurity awareness.

Status

To date, 60% of employees from onboarded companies are actively engaging with the training modules. This figure is insufficient, as active participation is essential for effective learning and application of cybersecurity practices. We therefore make a warm appeal to those colleagues who have not yet completed the training courses to do so as soon as possible.

Also the reporting of phishing emails remains low at 17%, and is an area where immediate improvement needed. Additionally, the phishing simulations have revealed that 3% of employees have clicked on phishing links or opened attachments, highlighting a need for greater vigilance.

Let’s do better

As we approach the one-year milestone, let’s continue to improve our participation rates and build on the lessons learned from both aspects of the program. While the group is still in process of onboarding additional companies, we encourage the current participants to complete the Phished Academy training and report phishing simulations.

Remember… Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and the evolving nature of threats requires us all to stay vigilant and informed. Let’s finish this year strong and continue to build a secure, cyber-aware culture across our group!
