OTS to provide timely analysis of reported phishing emails
In the ongoing effort to protect the university, the Office of Information Security (OIS) in the Office of Technology Services (OTS) will be partnering with an industry-leading company to improve our phishing incident response to the campus. Starting June 24, all suspicious emails reported to OIS will continue to receive an auto-reply confirmation of receipt, but the submitter will also receive a timely final analysis of the email. There will be no changes to how faculty/staff and students report suspicious emails.
How to report a suspicious email
Both options will continue to send the email to OIS’ Security Operations team for review:
- “Report Phish” button –from a desktop/laptop in Outlook, use the Report Phish button so the Security Operations team can conduct a thorough investigation on suspicious emails.
- Phishing maildrop – from a mobile device or if using an @student.towson.edu email account, forward suspicious emails to phishing@towson.edu.
