The Phish Alert Button (PAB) is a small add-in button that appears in users' email interfaces (like an Outlook plugin or a Gmail extension) and provides an immediate way to report phishing. With one click, an employee can flag a suspicious email, which is then automatically sent to Adaptive Security's system for analysis. The PAB simplifies the user's role in phishing defense – they don't need to remember an address or create a ticket; they just click "Report Phish." From there, Adaptive's AI triage kicks in to examine the message and respond accordingly. Essentially, the PAB empowers every employee to act as a sensor for phishing attempts, feeding directly into Adaptive's automated phishing response workflow.
