The latest PhishAlarm features include:

    --  Customization - Ability to customize the attributes of PhishAlarm add-in

        which will drive the increased usage of PhishAlarm across the
        enterprise.
    --  Whitelist emails (patented) - Ability to separate trusted internal and
        external emails from suspicious emails that get reported, reducing the
        number of false positives and improving the productivity of security
        teams. The feature also provides organizations the unique opportunity to
        reinforce with end users which emails are legitimate and therefore
        should be trusted.

        attachments to enable better user tracking and reporting.
    --  Email clients - PhishAlarm supports the largest number of email clients

        Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2016, browser-based Office 365 and Gmail email
        clients as well as Outlook Web Access (OWA) for iPhone, iPad, and
        Android and will continue expanding coverage in future releases.

Combined, these features provide the most robust functionality in the industry, allowing security teams to efficiently manage their suspicious email inbox and thereby focus their efforts on the most significant threats.
