The majority of these organisations were small , followed by medium and large ones. The report shows that without security training, 33,2% of employees across all regions and industries are likely to fall for phishing attacks or fraudulent requests. Africa’s average was 32,8%, slightly better than the global average and much better than South America, where the average was 41,1%. Asia had the lowest rate of phishing – 30%.
