Summary: In this article, we take a look at Security Awareness Training’s Report Phishing Service and how you can use it to build a more fun and engaging security awareness training program.  

 

What is Report Phishing?

Security Awareness Training’s Report Phishing service is a new dimension in our simulated phishing training experience that allows learners to report malicious emails sent by DeeDee, and Admins to identify who spotted the email and when.  

With Report Phishing, your learners are more involved in training and can fight back against DeeDee!   

After a quick setup,  your learners can simply forward the email to phishing@yourdomain.com to receive credit for stopping DeeDee in her tracks.    

How to Set up Report Phishing

Your learners can get started right away by forwarding emails to report@phish.mycurricula.com and Security Awareness Training will recognize the phishing campaign as reported by the learner.   

If you're a Gsuite user, you can setup your own mailbox to capture and monitor phishing reports internally alongside Security Awareness Training using a custom mailbox. Visit our Gsuite article for step by step setup instructions.

Notifications for Reported Phishing Attempts

For both Admins and learners, notifications from reported Security Awareness Training phishing attempts will arrive from notifications@alerts.mycurricula.com.  

When a learner successfully reports a phishing attempt from DeeDee, they’ll receive an email with the subject line ‘’Successfully reported phishing attempt!’   

Admins will receive an email notification when the first phishing attempt has been reported. Similar to when DeeDee hacks a learner, it will display how long it took for the first person to report a simulated phishing attack.   

Reporting

When clicking the ‘Reports’ tab on the Security Awareness Training Admin dashboard, you’ll notice a data point titled ‘Reported Rate’ in the ‘Summary’ section.  

When clicking the ‘Phishing’ tab on the Security Awareness Training dashboard, a 'Reported' column is available for all campaigns. Additionally, Reported Rate and Report Time can be found on the 'Summary' section of each campaign.  

Within the ‘Reports’ tab, you can create a Custom Recipe for Phishing Reported rates as there is a condition titled ‘Reported’ is available within the ‘Phishing Attempts’ dropdown.
