Incidents

In Email Security, potential threats are called incidents. An incident can be flagged by the system or by a user using the TitanHQ for Outlook add-in.

Go to Email Security > Incidents to view, take action on (remediate), and manage incidents in Email Security.

Note

If you have auto remediation set up, then Email Security will automatically send malicious mails to a user's junk folder. See Remediation for more details.

Incidents are divided into two groups, which can be accessed by selecting either the Action Needed or Resolved tabs at the top of the page.

  • The Action Needed tab opens by default when you select Email Security > Incidents and displays incidents requiring admin attention. These are Incidents that have been reported by users using the TitanHQ for Outlook add-in. When you mark these mails as safe or move them to junk, they are automatically moved to the Resolved tab.

  • The Resolved tab contains mails that have been automatically flagged by the system and ones you have taken action on are also listed here. No further action is required for these incidents.

  • Use the search search-incidents.jpg box to search the list of incidents.

  • Select the column ES-Column-Reorder-icon.jpg icon to manage how table columns are displayed.

    By default, all columns are visible and arranged in a specific order. You can change the display by doing the following:

    • Slide the toggles off and on to hide or display columns.

    • Use the reordering ES-Reordering-icon.jpg icon to move columns up and down the list. This changes the left-to-right display. An item at the top of the list, for example, means that it will be the first column on the left. Select Restore default order to restore the columns to their default positions.

    • Resize columns by hovering your cursor over the column boundary you want to adjust until it becomes a resize ES-Resize-Cursor.jpg cursor. Drag the boundary until the column is the width you want.

    Note

    Note that any changes you make here will remain, even if you leave the page.

    The following columns are available:

    • Date: The date the reported email was received.

    • Subject: Email subject line of the reported email.

    • Sender: Sender email address of the reported email.

    • Flag Reason: The reason this email was flagged for further investigation. See Incident Flag Reasons.

    • Status: The current status of this incident. See Incident Status Descriptions.

    • Actions: Actions available for this incident.

To view additional details of an incident, locate the incident in the table and select it. See Incident Summary for further details.
