Phish Alert Button in Outlook

Stay Cyber-Secure: Use the Phish Alert Button

Cybersecurity is a top priority, and you play a key role in keeping our network safe from phishing threats. To make reporting suspicious emails easier, we’ve added the Phish Alert Button (PAB) in Microsoft Outlook.

What is the Phish Alert Button?

The Phish Alert Button (PAB) lets you report suspicious emails with a single click. If you receive an email that seems like a phishing attempt, just click the Phish Alert Button in your Outlook toolbar. This instantly alerts our IT security team for review.

How to Use the Phish Alert Button

1. Spot a Suspicious Email – Look for unexpected requests for personal information, urgent messages, or unfamiliar senders.
2. Click the Phish Alert Button – Find it in your Outlook toolbar and click.
3. You’re Done! – The email is automatically reported and removed from your inbox.

Why It Matters

By reporting phishing emails, you help:
