Addressing Real-World Phishing Threats: CyberNut vs Proofpoint

How does CyberNut address actual phishing threats encountered by school employees or students?

CyberNut educates and empowers faculty, staff, and students to spot and report REAL threats that enter their inboxes. When a user reports a suspicious email not included in the training, CyberNut's Instant Feedback system enables users to report the threat directly to their IT department.

As well as trigger an automation that blocks the sender directly on the email server enabling the school or district to secure itself before a possibly fatal link get clicked or circulated to other school employees.
