* Reclassification of messages if the disposition is incorrect.
* PhishGuard monitors and reviews Suspicious email traffic.
* Quarantine and auto-move of identified threats.
* Tailored threat hunting for your email environment.

As a PhishGuard customer, the following service offerings should be enabled:

* Escalation contacts must be configured in the Email security dashboard: This allows for email reports to be delivered regarding high risk items identified and responded to by the team.
* Auto-moves should be enabled and configured for quarantine of identified items: Malicious should be prioritized, but configuring Spam for a move to junk/trash or even soft delete may also be highly useful to the client.
