KnowBe4 has launched of its Phish Alert Button (PAB) for Microsoft Teams. This marks a significant milestone in collaboration security as KnowBe4 brings the same one-click incident response capabilities previously exclusive to email, directly into the platform where employees communicate and collaborate every day.
“Cybercriminals are no longer just targeting the inbox; they are actively infiltrating the chat applications we rely on daily,” said Greg Kras, Chief Product Officer at KnowBe4. “By extending our Phish Alert Button to Microsoft Teams, we are closing a critical security gap."
As cybercriminals increasingly expand their attack vectors beyond email to include collaboration tools, employees can no longer assume communications sent via internal chat are secure. With attackers using new sophisticated tactics, such as callback phishing, to circumvent traditional security layers, organizations are facing a critical blind spot in their security posture.
The Phish Alert Button is a simple, yet powerful, one-click reporting tool designed to turn end users into a human network of security ‘sensors’. When an employee encounters a message that appears suspicious, unexpected, or potentially malicious, they can use the PAB to report it immediately. Once clicked, the tool automatically forwards the message to the organization’s designated security inbox and incident response team for analysis.
