High Risk Users and Where to Find Them 

A Cyentia Institute Study Based on Data From Elevate Security

High-risk users are the top quartile of users in an organization who have had at least one instance of risky behavior, or event. These risky users are responsible for:

  • 41% of all simulated phishing clicks
  • 30% of all real-world phishing clicks
  • 54% of all secure-browsing incidents
  • 42% of all malware events

So where do high-risk users hide in organizations? The answer to this question seems to be “everywhere.” However, it’s a little more nuanced than that. 

This latest Cyentia Institute Report, in partnership with Elevate Security, analyzed nearly eight years’ worth of data—from June 2014 to July 2022, and dives into:

  • What makes workers high risk
  • What are their riskiest behaviors
  • Where those high-risk users spend their time
  • What that might mean for your organization’s security
