Methodology
In addition to using Tessian platform data, and insights garnered from interviews with the HackerOne community and experts in social engineering, we commissioned OnePoll to survey 4,000 working professionals: 2,000 in the US and 2,000 in the UK.

Survey respondents varied in age from 18-51+, occupied various roles across departments and industries, and worked within organizations ranging in size from 2-1,000+.
Publically available third-party research was also used, with all sources listed on this page.

Midpoints and averages were used when calculating some figures and percentages may not always add up to 100% due to rounding.
