If a single click on a phishing email can ruin the entire company, the blame doesn't lie with that individual.

We have test-phishing mails sent by our IT-Sec team on a regular basis. There's usually an obvious one and a better made one. First round 10% clicked the obv. one, 99% the good one.

We had a lot of trainings after that.

Last year the numbers went down to 5% and 80%.

If your security concept relies on both of these numbers being zero, you're an incompetent hack trying to shift the blame on end users instead of doing your job.

Thank you, that was my point! Shifting the blame on the user doesn't help anyone.
