โš ๏ธ Why report phishing?   

Reporting suspicious emails helps IT Services protect the entire organisation. Even if you're unsure whether an email is malicious, it's always better to report it. Never click links or open attachments in emails you suspect to be phishing.

       
       

๐Ÿ“‹ Before you begin    

Ensure the Check Point Outlook Add-In has been installed on your Outlook client. If you don't see the Check Point icon in your toolbar, please contact the IT Service Desk.

         

Step-by-step instructions

Select the suspicious email        

In Outlook, navigate to and open the email you believe to be a phishing attempt. Do not click any links or download any attachments within the email.
