Phishing for User Context: Understanding the NIST Phish Scale

August 23, 2023

Presenters

Shanée Dawkins - NIST
 Jody Jacobs - NIST

Description

The NIST Phish Scale is a method for measuring human phishing detection difficulty, providing a metric – a phishing email detection difficulty rating – for phishing training implementers to gain a better understanding of the variability in click rates resulting from their phishing training exercises. This talk will give an overview of the role user context plays in phishing detection and how our research led to the creation of the NIST Phish Scale. We will also present the NIST Phish Scale in detail, highlighting new ways to apply it in phishing awareness programs.
