I hear this a lot - and I understand where it comes from, but at what point do you not have to make a determination 
that a user presents more risk to organizational assets than value?

I sold phishing education to our administration with the caveat that it would *never* be punitive. I think that's an 
important piece of our program.

Hello
I wanted to ask what people are doing for a "path to escalation" for staff who repeatedly fail simulations or cause 
incidents?

For Example
First Failure -> Remedial Training
Second Failure -> Remedial Training + Supervisor Notification
Third Failure -> Remedial Training + Sit down with person and department head
Etc.

I'm just trying to get some ideas to bring to our Governance committee.  We have not been trying to be punitive and 
haven't needed to do much, but we are starting to see repeat offenders that need coaching for behavioral changes.

Thanks in Advance,

Josh
