roofpoint , a leading cybersecurity and compliance
P company , has released its seventh annual State of the Phish report , which explores enterprise phishing experiences and provides an in-depth look at user awareness , vulnerability , and resilience . More than 75 % of surveyed infoSec professionals said their organisations faced broadbased phishing attacks – both successful and unsuccessful – in 2020 , and ransomware infections impacted 66 % of thirdparty global survey respondents .
This year ’ s State of the Phish report examines global third-party survey responses from more than 600 Information Security professionals in the US , Australia , France , Germany , Japan , Spain and the UK , and highlights third-party survey findings of 3,500 working adults within those same seven countries . The report also analyses data from more than 60 million simulated phishing attacks sent by Proofpoint customers to their employees over a one-year period , along with approximately 15 million emails reported via the user-activated PhishAlarm reporting button .
“ Threat actors worldwide are continuing to target people with agile , relevant and sophisticated communications – most notably through the email channel , which remains the top threat vector ,” said Alan LeFort , Senior Vice President and General Manager of Security Awareness Training for Proofpoint .
“ Ensuring users understand how to spot and report attempted cyberattacks is undeniably business-critical , especially as users continue to work remotely – often in a less secured environment . While many organisations say they are delivering security awareness training to their employees , our data shows most are not doing enough .”
