Phish Alert Button (PAB) in Microsoft Outlook Guide

 

The Phish Alert Button (PAB) is a tool that allows you to report suspicious emails. When you click the PAB, you can help warn your IT security team about phishing attacks or malicious messages.

Why Should You Use the PAB?

Reporting emails will help Ategrity stay safe. When you report an email with the PAB, the email will be forwarded to IT administrators so they can analyze the suspicious email. Once you are aware of possible vulnerabilities, you can better defend against cyberattacks. You are an important part of the process of keeping your organization safe from cybercriminals. Stop, Look, and Think!

When Should You Use the PAB?

You should use the PAB any time you receive an email that is suspicious or a potential phishing attack.

You shouldn’t report spam or marketing emails with the PAB. Instead, you can delete these emails from your inbox. If you would like to stop receiving email from the sender or the sender’s domain, you can also add the sender or the sender's domain to your block list. If you need assistance with this, please reach out to the IT Support team ([email protected]).
