    Article summary

    Managed Phishing Response is Red Canary's solution to investigate and respond to phishing emails. This solution integrates with your organization’s inbox reporting button to efficiently address user-reported emails. When a user reports a suspicious email, Red Canary’s team reviews it, notifies your security team of confirmed phishing attempts, and provides tailored feedback to the reporting user. The solution aims to reduce the operational overhead associated with phishing review while accelerating response times for genuine threats and enhancing your organization’s overall security posture.

    How Managed Phishing Response Works

    Here’s a breakdown of the process:

    1. A user in your organization receives a suspicious email and clicks a “report phishing" button.

    2. The email is immediately forwarded to Red Canary, where our Phishing Triage Agent intelligently flags specific risks like spoofing or unexpected attachments.

    3. Every reported email is reviewed by a Red Canary Expert, regardless of the Triage Agent’s findings. While the agent provides context, human analysts ultimately determine whether the email is a phishing attempt or not. They officially mark the email as Phish or Not a Phish and provide a detailed summary of the findings.

    4. Your security team is notified of confirmed phishing attempts.

    5. The user who reported the email is given tailored feedback.
