Avanan Now Supports Gmail’s 'Report Phishing' Button

Written by Jonathan Gold-Shalev | June 3, 2025

Avanan now supports Gmail’s built-in “Report phishing” button, giving security teams greater visibility into phishing threats reported by end users - no matter which collaboration platform they use.

With phishing remaining one of the top attack vectors in cloud email environments, user-reported incidents play a critical role in early detection and response. Avanan already integrates with Microsoft’s native “Report phishing” button, helping SOC teams analyze reported messages, trigger automated workflows, and respond faster. Now, that same visibility and automation extend to Gmail users as well.

When a user clicks “Report phishing” in the Gmail interface, the event is automatically ingested into Avanan. Administrators will see the report in the Security Events and User Reported Phishing sections, where they can investigate the email and launch remediation actions - such as removing similar emails across the organization or blocking the sender.
In addition, any automated playbooks set up for phishing reports will be triggered, ensuring consistent and timely response across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace environments.

How to Enable Gmail Phishing Reports Integration

To start receiving Gmail phishing reports in Avanan, follow these one-time setup steps:

  1. Open the Gmail Admin Console

  2. Go to Settings > Rules

  3. Edit the “User reported phishing” rule

  4. In the Actions section, under Send email notifications, add a new recipient - any mailbox protected by Avanan

Once configured, reports will be routed to Avanan and automatically processed as part of your existing phishing response workflows.
