    Cofense Phishing Reporter Offers Simple Email Flagging Across Multiple Outlook Platforms

    Cofense Phishing Reporter is easy to deploy, especially the SaaS version. It makes it very easy for end users to report suspicious emails to our IT Security team for review. It gives a nice visual cue to the users when reporting emails, so they know that their email was reported to our team. We like that it works with both the desktop and mobile versions of Outlook so users can report emails on the go as well. Overall, it's a nice product that does its job well.
