Introduction


PhishNotify is a tool that will allow you to report suspicious emails received in your Outlook account. It is available in Outlook for desktop and web-based versions. When a suspicious email is identified as one you believe to be a phishing email or potentially malicious, click the Submit Email (Fish Icon) to submit the email to your organization's security team for review. This will allow for you to safely review the message without the inherent risks of forwarding or interacting with these messages. This tool will identify both phishing simulation emails sent from your organization's security team and real phishing emails, and should be used consistently for any questionable email you receive. If an email is deemed by the security team to not be malicious, you will receive an email notifying you that you may retrieve your email from your Deleted Items folder.
