Provide the following 3 values to run the Phishing Scam Detector:

  • Employee Count [number] (required)
  • Emails/Day (avg) [number] (required)
  • Security Training [select] (required)

What it calculates

  • Est. Attempts/Month
  • Recommendation

Worked example

For the sample inputs below:

  • Security Training: none

the Phishing Scam Detector produces:

  • Risk Score: 0/100
  • Est. Attempts/Month: 8

How it works

The result is derived through the following steps:

  1. baseRisk = (emailsPerDay / 100) * 5
  2. trainingReduction = trainingLevel === 'advanced' ? 0.3 : trainingLevel === 'basic' ? 0.6 : 1
  3. riskScore = min(100, round(baseRisk * trainingReduction * (employeeCount / 50)))
