You've received multiple reports about a suspicious email from someone who is pretending to be from your organization's human resources department. The email is prompting employees to click a link for a password update. You want to remediate this sender's emails. What should you do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The security investigation tool allows you to search for and take action on suspicious emails within your organization. Marking the email as phishing helps to flag the email as malicious and prevents further emails from the same sender from being delivered to users' inboxes. This also ensures that the email is properly categorized for review and investigation by your security team.
