Leaderboards are a fun way to compete with your colleagues and show off your security awareness skills. If your organization has enabled it, you can find it in the Leaderboard tab of your Learner Experience (LX). Depending on the setup, you may have an individual leaderboard, a group leaderboard, or both. Read the sections below to learn more about these leaderboards and how rankings are calculated.
Individual Leaderboard
On the individual leaderboard, you’ll compete with your colleagues on how well you use the Phish Alert Button (PAB). For information on how to use the PAB, find the article for your specific email client in our PAB Learner Support section. Points are based on the percentage of simulated phishing emails you report and how quickly you report them.
Detailed Point Calculation
To calculate your points for the individual leaderboard, we use the formula below:
(1000 x Percentage Reported) + Reaction BonusPercentage Reported: This is calculated by dividing the number of simulated phishing emails you reported by the total number of phishing tests that were sent to you during a given timeframe. Depending on your organization’s settings, this timeframe may be monthly, quarterly, or annually. For example, if you receive four test emails but only report three, your percentage reported is 75 percent.
Reaction Bonus: You can earn bonus points for reporting a simulated phishing email within 72 hours. The bonus starts at 8,640 points and decreases by 1/30th of a point every second until the email is reported. This granular timing helps prevent ties by rewarding you for every second saved.
To ensure the leaderboard accurately reflects your speed, all final scores are displayed with one decimal place.
Example Calculation
If you report a test email exactly one hour (3,600 seconds) after receiving it, your reaction bonus would be 8,520 points. Using the 75% report rate from the example above, your total points would be 9,270.
(1000 x 75%) + 8520 = 9270Group Leaderboard
On the group leaderboard, you’ll work in groups to complete all of your assigned training on time. The more training your group members have completed, the higher your group is on the leaderboard. Your organization sets up who is in each group and what the timeframe is for the leaderboard.
Groups are ranked according to the percentage of training completed. This percentage is calculated by dividing the number of training assignments for each group member by the number of assignments they have completed.
