User-reported phishing workflow

Published Apr 15, 2024 • Updated May 1, 2026

Overview

Reporting add-ins turn users into sensors—reward good reports, close loop fast.

Flow

User reports → SOAR triage bucket → auto-duplicate search other inboxes → analyst verdict → user thank-you microcopy.

SLA

8 business hours initial triage for regulated clients; faster for VIP mailboxes.

Metrics

Report rate per 1000 mailboxes; false positive ratio target.

Anti-pattern

Ignoring reports—users stop participating.
