The Division of Information Technology takes cybersecurity very seriously. Our Cyber Defense Department is in place to identify, protect, respond and recover from cyber-related incidents impacting Augusta University and the Augusta University Health System.  

The Cyber Defense department provides training, education, and vital information about any current cyber threats to our enterprise. Remember, if you suspect a cyber threat, it’s better to report it immediately than to wait until it’s too late.

How to report phishing emails

The "Report Message" add-in is a new option within Outlook, allowing you to quickly and easily report suspicious messages to AU/AUHS Cybersecurity Team and Microsoft simultaneously. This replaces the need for you to forward emails as attachments. By using this button, you are helping us to more rapidly identify dangerous attacks and automate the cleanup process. More on How to report phishing.

Where is the Report Message button?

  • Microsoft Outlook Client: Go to Home Tab -- Upper Right Corner -- Report Message Button
  • Outlook Web Access: Within the email -- Click the "..." -- Report Message
  • Outlook Mobile App: Within the email -- Click the "..." -- Report Message

Protect Yourself, Protect AU

 

Unfortunately, the internet is not as safe as we wish it could be. Because of this, we need to take steps to ensure that we do not compromise the security of Augusta University or AU Health Systems.
