Phishing Alert Button: One-Click Solution To Counter Phishing Attacks
We all talk about taking precautions whenever we receive a suspicious e-mail. But, what must be the user’s first reaction whenever he/she gets any suspicious e-mail? Is it okay if the user directly forwards it to the IT department? Or will it be okay if he/she sends the information to the help desk? Or simply ignoring the e-mail and not reporting it is the best solution?
The perfect solution to this problem is the KnowBe4’s Phishing Alert Button. It is a safe way to tackle any suspicious e-mail as this feature sends the phishing e-mail to the security department for an in-depth analysis of the threat. Not only this, the dubious e-mail gets automatically deleted from the inbox of the user to prevent any vulnerability in the future.
How Does It Work?
- Whenever the user presses the Phishing Alert Button, it alerts the Incident Response Team. Consequently, the team performs a thorough examination of the e-mail to find whether the e-mail is a legit one, spam or a severe phish attack.
- Although the e-mail gets deleted from the user’s inbox for future protection against phishing, the response team retains a copy of the e-mail, along with all SMTP headers.
- After the analysis of the e-mail, if it detects that the e-mail is spam or can trigger any phishing attack, then steps are taken by the team to block the sender. Additionally, a system check is done to remove any similar kind of e-mails from the inbox of other employees.
What Are The Benefits Of Phishing Alert Button?
- The organization’s security culture gets updated as the user can report any phishing threat with just one click.
- It provides support in employee training as they will get early feedback from the response team concerning the phishing attack.
- A secured network of “Sensors” is created in the organization giving a boost to the security structure. Through this, the Incident Response Team gets instant alerts whenever a user receives a phishing e-mail.
- The user receives optimum protection, and suspicious e-mail is automatically deleted from the user’s inbox to avoid any susceptibility in the future.
- Its deployment is convenient through MSI file in case of Outlook. For Gmail (Chrome), G Suite deployment is straightforward.
