Empowering Employees to Combat Collaboration Security Threats with One-Click Reporting<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KnowBe4<\/a>, the world-renowned platform that comprehensively addresses human and agentic AI risk management, announced the launch of its Phish Alert Button<\/a> (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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCybercriminals are no longer just targeting the inbox; they are actively infiltrating the chat applications we rely on daily,\u201d said Greg Kras, Chief Product Officer at KnowBe4. \u201cBy extending our Phish Alert Button to Microsoft Teams, we are closing a critical security gap. We\u2019ve empowered more than 100 million users to report phishing in email. Now we\u2019re ensuring collaboration tools receive the same level of scrutiny and incident response.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phish Alert Button is a simple, yet powerful, one-click reporting tool designed to turn end users into a human network of security \u2018sensors\u2019. 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\u2019s designated security inbox and incident response team for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KnowBe4 Phish Alert Button for Microsoft Teams address the risks inherent in collaboration across the modern workplace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
