PhishID Communication Template

One component of the PhishID deployment involves the communications to your Staff, Teachers and Students.   To help with this below is a sample template that can be used to notify end users of the PhishID deployment.

---------------------------------------------------

In a continued effort to enhance the safety and security of all team members and students, the district is implementing a new phishing prevention tool called PhishID

Over 90% of school cybersecurity incidents start with phishing - making phishing prevention Education's first line of defense against account takeovers and ransomware attacks.  PhishID leverages an AI-Powered browser plug-in to stop phishing at the point-of-click.

What does this mean for me?

Normal day-to-day browsing will still be the same, but in the background, you will have PhishID on your side to protect you from malicious links and URLs that attempt to steal your credentials.  

Verified Phishing Sites

If you inadvertently navigate to known phishing site, PhishID will present a block page like below.  When you receive a block page, you can select the "Go back" option and be assured your credentials are still safe

Suspicious Sites

If you inadvertently navigate to a site that while it is not a verified phishing site however it looks suspicious, PhishID will present a suspicious page alert like below.  When you receive a suspicious page, double check to ensure that this site is the site it says it is.  If this site is a safe site you can click "This is safe" otherwise select the "Take me back to safety" option and be assured your credentials are still safe.   Our Security Analysts will further investigate every suspicious site to ensure all new phishing sites are correctly identified and moved to a Verified Phishing Site.

We appreciate your assistance in keeping your district secure!
