The Visual Hacking Experiments

In an eye-opening study, Ponemon Institute exposed visual hacking as an under-addressed, low-tech threat to U.S. companies.

A video still of a stylized person looking at a computer over the shoulder of another stylized person.

In 2016, we teamed up with Ponemon Institute again to prove that visual hacking is a global problem.The results are alarming.

  • An image of a stylized person carrying a large board covered in various charts with the text ‘91% of the time.’

    Visual Hacking is easy.

    Ninety-one percent of visual hacking trials were successful.

  • A stylized person looking at a screen that reads ‘less than 15 minutes.’

    It happens quickly.

    In almost half of the trials, the hacker obtained information within 15 minutes.

  • A stylized person walking past a computer monitor that reads ‘52%.’

    Computer screens are at risk.

    Globally, 52% of sensitive information was visually hacked from computer screens.
