Phishing Stats to Keep You Up at Night

Written by Jeremy Fuchs | April 14, 2022

Here's a scary stat:

Last year, 83% of organizations reported experiencing phishing attacks. 

And here's another one: the FBI estimates that phishing attacks may increase by as much as 400% YoY

How about this: 90% of data breaches occur due to phishing. 

Finally, phishing costs organizations an average of $4.65 million to remediate. 

With these troubling stats, it's no wonder that more than half of IT decision-makers think that phishing is their number one security concern. 

If you're in IT, these stats are enough to keep you up at night. 

Here's the thing: it doesn't have to.

With Avanan, you can reduce phishing reaching the inbox by 99.2%.

That's a stat worth dreaming about.
