Office365 User Report Phishing Screen

Written by Offir Zigelman | July 9, 2020
Deployment starts July 13th, 2020.

Earlier this year Avanan introduced support for importing "Reported Phishing" events from Office 365. Avanan now creates an event each time the end-user reported an email as suspected phishing.

To complete the reported phishing operational capabilities, we now introduce a new dedicated screen under the Quarantine menu. The new screen looks and behaves similar to the "release from quarantine" screen - it presents the emails that were reported by the end users, and provides the Admins the options for actions:

  • inspect the email, and quarantine it if needed

  • search for similar emails (i.e. similar sender or subject), and quarantine all

  • create block-list rule to block future emails that match the rule

  • ignore the report

The new screen helps to streamline the end-user reported emails review, in a single pane.

It is also possible to send notification to the end-users, letting them know the action that was taken by the administrator - quarantined (real threat was uncovered by the end-user) or ignored.

The decision to send feedback to the end user is done using a special flag in SmartPhish configuration dialog.

The email notification templates are available under SaaS apps > O365 email > Config (advanced section)
