The ITS Information Security team is excited to announce the upcoming deployment of the PhishNotify button from Infosec as part of our ongoing efforts to build a security culture on campus. This new tool will empower the campus community to quickly and easily report suspected phishing emails, enhancing our collective defense against cyber threats.
What Is the PhishNotify Button?
The PhishNotify button is a simple yet powerful tool integrated into Microsoft Outlook, our email client. If you receive a suspicious email, you can click the PhishNotify button to report it instantly. This action will send the email to our IT security team for further analysis and help us protect our campus from potential cyber threats. This button will also provide the functionality for ITS to conduct phishing simulations that will help you become more experienced with spotting and reporting phishing emails.
Why Is This Important?
Phishing attacks are a common and dangerous threat that can lead to data breaches, financial loss and compromised personal information. By using the PhishNotify button, you contribute to our collective security by identifying and stopping these threats before they cause harm.
