Campaign Results Definitions

Question

I am confused about the Phishing campaign results.  Can you define the results for each campaign?

Answer

We display a number of metrics based on the results of each campaign. Depending on the type of campaign sent (drive-by, data entry, or attachment) the graph will differ.  The graphs below show the results of example campaigns.

Drive-By Campaign Details Graph: 

  • Sent: Total number of emails that were sent during the campaign.
  • No Response:  Emails in which only users who did not Open (view) the email or click on the link.
  • Email Opened: Emails where the user opened the email and downloaded the embedded remote images.
  • Vulnerable: Users that were found to have a third-party plugin (e.g. Flash or Java) that is out of date.
  • Phishing Link Clicked: The user clicked on the link within the campaign.
  • Phishing Link Teachable Moments Acknowledged: The user clicked on the acknowledge button at the bottom of the teachable moment affirming that they read and understood the teachable moment.
