Lumen21 Adds Phishing Awareness Plugin to Office 365 to Help Organizations Combat Cyber-Attacks
Orange, CA. (PRWEB) March 02, 2016 -- Lumen21, an award-winning global technology firm specializing in compliance and technology, announced today the availability of PhishPro, a plugin for Microsoft Office 365 that enables organizations to work with their employees to help ward off cyber-attacks that normally make their way into an organization via malicious emails, as part of its participation in the HIMSS Conference, to be held in Las Vegas, February 29-March 4, 2016.
Often, employees are not able to recognize a phishing email and may open that email, compromising their organization's security. PhishPro is a comprehensive set of modules that provides a solution for eliminating an organization’s challenge of gathering, organizing and analyzing suspicious emails that can result in a cyber-attack.
PhishPro is made up of three features: Tracker, Campaign and Dashboard. Tracker is a Microsoft Office 365 Outlook add-in that integrates to the main ribbon of the email read window and allows the user to report any email that they consider to be suspicious. This integrates with PhishPro's Campaign feature, deciphering if a supposed phishing email corresponds with a training campaign or is a real threat. Every time a user reports a suspicious email, the tool removes the email from the user’s inbox, and sends it out for further analysis. The user receives positive feedback from the tool every time an email is reported, encouraging them to keep reporting any suspicious emails. PhishPro Dashboard allows the administrators to analyze and correlate the system’s data. It uses a set of indicators and reports to give a detailed view of the current threats and to get a detailed security profile of the individual users of the system, allowing the client to identify which users represent a potential phishing victim and triggers specific training courses directed to those individuals. PhishPro Dashboard also integrates with the SOC team, providing them with tools to defend the network against attacks.
“Our goal is to continue to lead the way in providing a comprehensive set of modules and services that enable an organization to enhance their posture in the area of IT Security as well as compliance without having the organization compromise the use of cloud technology. The announcement of PhishPro, as well as other upcoming solutions that we will make available coinciding with HIMSS 2016, will further enhance the recognition that Lumen21 has attained as being the standard for IT compliance and security in the marketplace.” said Raj Gupta, CTO, Lumen21.
