What is the Phish Alert Button?

The Phish Alert Button (PAB) is an add-in that allows users to report emails that they suspect could be phishing attempts.

If the email is a simulated phishing email, the user will be congratulated for spotting it. If it's not a simulation, the email will be reported to the IT support team, or directly to Microsoft, depending on your settings.

Where is the Phish Alert Button?

Once the Phish Alert Button has been set up, if you are using Classic Outlook for Windows, the Phish Alert Button will appear in the ribbon when viewing an email message.

If you are using New Outlook or Outlook Web, the Phish Alert Button will be displayed in the actions menu on each email message.

If the Phish Alert Button is not in the actions menu, click on the Apps icon in the actions menu of the email message and select it from the dropdown list.

How do I get started with the Phish Alert Button?

Read the following guides to set up, test and deploy the Phish Alert Button to your end users.

Note: Currently the Phish Alert Button only supports Microsoft 365 and is not compatible with Google Workspace.
