KnowBe4 Benchmarking Report shows Energy, Utilities and Insurance industries most at risk for social engineering
London, UK: KnowBe4 has announced it has released a new Phishing by Industry Benchmarking Report to measure an organisation’s Phish-Prone percentage (PPP), which indicates how many of their employees are likely to fall for a phishing or social engineering scam.
The initial baseline phishing test was administered to organisations that had not conducted any KnowBe4 security awareness training. The results indicated a high level of risk, with an average initial baseline PPP of 31.4% across all industries and sizes. Every organisation regardless of size and vertical is susceptible to phishing and social engineering without computer-based training.

The long wait is finally over; people everywhere are getting vaccinated and organisations are beginning to prepare for a mass return to the office. The new ‘normal’ has shifted and while many companies will welcome their employees back full-time, others will be introducing a new hybrid working-environment, in which employees have the option to continue logging onto their networks remotely. This, however, produces ample opportunity for cyber-criminals to exploit an expanded attack surface, which will potentially be riddled with new vulnerabilities. Consequently, companies will need to race to secure their perimeters, accounts and data sufficiently in order to avoid a breach. Their best tactic, in this case, is to revisit their privileged access policies.
