We are an O365 campus and have just started using the Report Message add-in from Microsoft.  You can deploy it to all 
click-to-run Outlook users, by selected groups or all users.

https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/wa104381180

It reports all messages to MS, but with a mail flow rule, we send a copy to us as well.  Instructions are at the bottom 
of this article.

+1 for the Phish Alert Button. We deployed it immediately and have had a lot of success with it.

We are in our third year as KnowBe4 customers. I’ll echo Walter’s comments, and add that perhaps the biggest benefit to 
our campus is the Phish Alert widget that can be added to the Outlook Client, or your OWA instance, that lets students 
and staff (not licensed per seat like the training and phishing campaigns) report suspicious messages by clicking on 
the add-on.

You can configure it to forward the message to your designated unit (ours goes to our InfoSec team), and also configure 
the text displayed after they confirm they want to report the email. These are tracked on our KnowBe4 console, plus, 
the forwards include the full headers of the original message, which can be extremely valuable. Lastly, the widget also 
deletes the original message from the recipient’s account.

Both our employees and students use the tool frequently so we see all kinds of crap that they’re receiving. Often, it’s 
the first indication we have that an internal account has been compromised. This lets us sinkhole the collection 
domains, and initiate a search and delete for the messages.

Hi.  We have just started with Knowbe4 this semester so we've only started to get our feet wet with it.  We have the 
platinum level.  I can say that in setting up with white hat phishing exercise I find the console very easy to use and 
almost 100% customizable. The customer service so far has been awesome - our rep is very helpful and available to 
answer questions.

Hi Chris,

We started with Gold because it had a lower price and had a number of good resources, however we shifted over to 
Diamond recently – primarily for their FERPA training, and other relevant modules to us as Higher Ed. For the most part 
though, Gold was highly effective.

Subject: [SECURITY] KnowBe4 Training and Phishing Sim

For those of you that have KB4, what level of their package do you have and are you satisfied with it?  We are looking 
at the options they offer and are trying to determine which level is appropriate for us.  While I like the offerings in 
the Platinum package, specifically the custom tailored training that responds to how people interact with the phishing 
sims, I am also wondering if it is really necessary and is it worth the cost.  Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Chris
