OIT to Implement Additional Email Security in January 2023

- in Security Alert
Beginning in January 2023, OIT will implement new email security features to help students, faculty and staff better recognize phishing emails. These new security measures utilize mailbox intelligence and recognize email user patterns.
Outlook will provide safety tips for inbound mail that comes from new or unusual senders. Below is a screenshot example.
The mailbox intelligence will also better recognize impersonation attempts. UA students, faculty and staff often receive impersonation phishing emails where messages are sent from addresses similar to a known contact. If a message is marked as an impersonated user, it will be delivered to the recipient’s Junk folder and contain an alert.
