Phishing By Industry Benchmark Report 2026: Australia and New Zealand

Phishing Asia
How Vulnerable Is Your Organisation to Phishing? Get the 2026 Asia Phishing Benchmarking Report to Find Out
 

Asia's rapid digital transformation has created unprecedented opportunity — and unprecedented risk. Threat actors are leveraging generative AI to produce flawless, localised phishing lures that slip past email security gateways. From AI-enabled deepfake scams and industrial-scale fraud operations to ransomware and infostealer malware, the challenges are intensifying. Uneven cybersecurity maturity across the region continues to create openings, and despite significant investment in technical defences, the human element remains the most consequential variable in organisational security posture. The burden of defence falls, more than ever, on the workforce.

The 2026 KnowBe4 Phishing by Industry Benchmarking Report for Asia measures real employee susceptibility across industries and organisation sizes — giving security leaders the data they need to benchmark their risk and make the case for stronger awareness programmes.

What you'll learn
  •  Why Asia's 24.9% baseline is the lowest of any region globally — yet Legal (44.1%), Insurance (41%) and Education (40.6%) reveal significant sector-level vulnerabilities that demand targeted strategies 
  • How enterprise organisations achieve the sharpest turnaround, dropping from 21.6% to just 3.4% after one year of sustained training
  • Why all organisation sizes converge to between 3.4% and 6.6% after a year — and what separates this consistency from random compliance exercises
  • How large organisations (1,000–9,999 employees) start with elevated baseline risk but respond powerfully to formalised, programmatic training
  • Why annual compliance training is insufficient — and how continuous simulation and immediate remediation sustain meaningful risk reduction against AI-enhanced, regionally targeted threats
