I don't know how many UK-based higher education institutions use this group so there may be a cultural barrier here 
(please, forgive me), but termination of employment seems like a harsh step. (I wonder how far up the chain that might 
stop!?)

I also wouldn't like to be the member of the cybersecurity team involved in disciplining a colleague for being tricked 
by something that can happen to any of us.

Cheers,

While I have not heard of this in Higher Education, I know of at least two hospitals in Cincinnati where the third 
violation is termination of employment.  The first is a warning and online video, second is a face-to-face session with 
a member of the Cybersecurity team.

Subject: Phishing Simulation - Punitive Escalation


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
