HelpNetSecurity reported that "phishing threats has risen considerably since the pandemic started, with companies experiencing an average of 1,185 attacks every month."  The September 2, 2020 report entitled "Organizations facing surge in phishing attacks since the start of the pandemic" included these comments:

...while 76% of organizations conduct cybersecurity awareness training, only 30% train employees quarterly - and 27% conduct training only once a year.
