Phishing Alert Button

  • PAB-HowTo

Phishing is defined as the fraudulent practice of sending emails claiming to be from a reputable or known source in order to convince individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords, or to use an action to install a type of malicious software. Research estimates that 91% of cyber attacks start with a phishing email.

To combat phishing and build on the knowledge gained from the modules, our office will send out simulated phishing emails in the near future in order to get an accurate measure of our organization’s vulnerability to phishing attacks. Our office has also worked with Information Technology in order to streamline the reporting process and make it as easy and unobtrusive as possible.

The Phish Alert Button (PAB) gives you a safe way to forward potentially malicious emails to information security personnel for their review. This feature will also automatically remove the suspicious email from your inbox to prevent future exposure.
