The Phish Alert Button (PAB) is a simple yet powerful Gmail™ add-on that empowers your users to actively participate in your organization's cybersecurity defense. By integrating directly into the Gmail™ interface, the PAB provides a streamlined way to report suspicious emails for analysis and action.

How It Works:

When a user encounters a potentially malicious email, they can open the Phish Alert Button add-on from the Gmail™ sidebar. This brings up a confirmation screen that provides a summary of the email, including:

Sender: Who the email is from.

Subject: The email's subject line.

Recipients: Who the email was sent to.

Plain-text body: A truncated view of the email's content.

This review screen gives the user a moment to confirm they are reporting the correct email. Once they confirm, the add-on takes the following action:

Sends to Your Service: The app sends a request to your organization's security service for immediate analysis.

Threat Analysis: Your service then scans the reported email to determine if it is a genuine security threat or a part of a simulated phishing campaign used for training purposes.

Security Feedback Loop: This process creates a vital feedback loop, providing your security team with real-time intelligence on potential threats and user engagement with security training.

Key Features:

Seamless Gmail™ Integration: The PAB is a native Gmail™ add-on, accessible directly from the user's inbox, requiring no separate application.

User-Centric Reporting: The confirmation screen ensures that users have a chance to review what they are reporting, reducing accidental submissions.

Intelligent Threat Detection: The add-on triggers an automated process that distinguishes between real threats and simulated training exercises.

Centralized Threat Intelligence: All reported emails are sent to your centralized security service, giving your team a clear, real-time view of potential phishing campaigns targeting your organization.

By deploying the Phish Alert Button, you provide your employees with a simple, effective tool that turns them into a critical part of your security network while also helping you measure the effectiveness of your cybersecurity training programs.
