Most important metric is how many users click a phishing link, how many report it and how many eventually end up entering their info on the phishing page. This really helps us detect people that need to be trained more to be protected.

KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training provides reports on multiple aspects like training completion status, phishing campaign user's phish prone percentage status, personal report of users like which user have completed how many number of trainings and on how much test campaign he/she failed. Apart from that, we have focused on Training Activity Report, Group and user report cards, Phishing Activity report, Risk score report, Training status report by campaign, Failure type report, and training status overview report, etc.

We use the report section to see the overall progress of the training. The security awareness training report (training campaign report) we see on weekly basis to see the overall growth or deduction in the training. After the launch of phishing test, we use the report to see how many people have fall on this phishing test and this is called phish pron percentage. Apart from this, we monitor the number of Phish Alert button installed on end user devices, risk score report as well. The risk score report is very important for us as with this report we can see the overall risk to the organization and on this basis, we can modify our training plans.

Understanding how our users are progressing is important to understand the effectiveness of our training campaigns and phishing simulations. There are various reports available in graphs, and list formats that can help identify your phish prone users and help to improve your overall campaign effectiveness.Overall our phish prone percentage is important to us.

Our most important metric is our PhishProne percentage. I have created custom reports for finding our training completion rate and security culture that are key to developing our training program and security posture. The recent modification to how the template reports are organized and generated have made it much easier to utilize.

Great product

The one time offenders, repeated offenders as well as those failing to complete the training. The ability to map the offenders with those that haven't completed the training is something the executive management appreciated a lot!

For metrics, the dashboard is pretty awesome to start with. You can see your risk score, user prone percentage, and many other factors. These are great to see over time. We have dropped significantly and are below industry standard in most areas. Reporting is great too; it allows you to dump all that data to files for execs.
