Forwarding a suspicious email

Your customers need to forward their suspicious emails targeting your brand to an email address owned by your business. E.g., [email protected]. You will need to install the SafeToOpen Portal in your virtual or Cloud environment (such as Azure, AWS, etc.) and configure it to receive and send emails from [email protected] email account.

Verifying the reported email

SafeToOpen Customer Email Verification verifies all links in the body and the attachments of the reported emails and compares them against your owned domain names, your trusted domain names (such as your business partners), and previously detected phishing links targeting your business. It then populates an email response and sends it to the reporter of the suspicious email.

You can customize the email response templates to represent your brand. The response email may contain an attached screenshot of the body of the reported email that highlights unsafe links.
