In PhishTitan, 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 PhishTitan > Incidents to view, take action on (remediate), and manage incidents in PhishTitan.
Note
If you have auto remediation set up, then PhishTitan 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 PhishTitan > 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 box to search the list of incidents.
Select the column icon to display the table column names. Slide each on and off to view or hide a column. 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.
Customer: The PhishTitan customer this incident is related to.

To add a sender to the Allow List, select the allow sender icon for the incident. See Allow List for further details.
To add a domain to the Allow List, select the allow domain icon for the incident. See Allow List for further details.
