Behavior

Behavior is what a person does. Risky behaviors such as clicks, password reuse, bulk downloads and control bypasses raise risk; vigilant behaviors such as reporting, declining, verifying out of band and enrolling strong MFA lower it. Both count, and both are measured from telemetry, with simulations as practice.

Example

The same analyst reports a real phish within the hour.

A risky behavior in a simulation or in hygiene telemetry moves a person to Stage 2 Susceptible; a risky behavior against a real threat moves them to Stage 3 Exploited. A vigilant behavior steps a person back one stage.
