This piece argues that traditional SEGs and some ICES tools are increasingly missing phishing attacks, citing 2025 data showing 37% of user-reported threats bypassed defenses, 14.1M misses, a 300% year-over-year failure increase, and a five-hour average response lag. It promotes a “triple-validated” defense model—combining AI trained on 15 years of human behavior data, reports from 13+ million users, and vetting by the KnowBe4 Threat Research Lab with integrated feeds (CrowdStrike, VirusTotal, Webroot)—positioning Humans + AI as a superior email security strategy and linking to an infographic for details.
