In our effort to continuously improve and update the district’s cybersecurity strategy, the IT Department deployed an Inbox Detection and Response (IDR) product called GoSecure a few years ago to help staff with determining which emails are safe from those that should be discarded. GoSecure continues to improve its product and this communication is meant to be a reminder for all returning staff and an introduction for new to the district staff about what GoSecure is and how to use it.
As you are reading an email message you will see the GoSecure IDR icon in the toolbar at the top of the message. If you ever have any suspicion regarding the safety and/or the sender of an email message, simply click on that icon, then the ‘Report email as threat’ button. The message will be automatically submitted for analysis and within a few minutes you will receive a report back if the message is safe or not.
If the message was deemed safe you can go about your normal business for handling/responding to the message. If the message is determined to be unsafe it will be automatically deleted from your mailbox and also from any other account in our system that also received it. And good news, no further action is required on your part. After submitting the message to GoSecure, IT security staff are then able review the message(s) and take further action when necessary.
Here is a Quick Start guide and a helpful video link.
