REPORT: the student experience

Guidance while it still matters.

When a message does not look right, students get a plain-language assessment and a next step they can act on.

1
A student gets a convincing message
A Microsoft account alert the week classes start. A job offer from a professor. A tuition hold that needs a payment today.
2
They report it
A screenshot, the copied message or the sender. Whatever they have.
3
They get an answer
In plain language, with a next step that points them to the channels they already trust.
4
Security sees the campaign
Many reports of the same lure in a morning is one campaign, and your team knows it before the help desk does.

UNDERSTAND: what your security team sees

Coordinated attacks across campus, the same morning.

Reports from students, faculty and staff are grouped automatically into campaigns, so your team can warn the population that is being targeted while the lure is still landing.

Which campaigns are hitting students, faculty or staff right now
The brand being impersonated (the university, Microsoft, a bank, a professor)
Volume and timing, so a semester-start spike is visible as it starts
Signal that feeds awareness training, proactive controls, EDR posture and MDM configuration

Gain intelligence on scams targeting your population while campaigns are still active, giving security and IT teams time to investigate, warn the campus and coordinate a response.

Campaign Intelligence. The automatic identification of coordinated activity across reports and protected devices. When a message or link is confirmed malicious, the next unknown-sender check on any protected iPhone marks it automatically.

PROTECT: high-risk populations

Proactive filtering and call screening for the people attackers target by name.

Some populations warrant proactive protection. Add it for executives, finance, IT and research roles, managed from the same team dashboard.

It fits how your people already work, on managed or personal phones, and rollout is planned with your team.

How the platform fits together

Why this holds up

Reports are cheap; triage is what you are buying, and SmishAlert does the triage before it reaches your team.

SANS 2026: fewer organizations have control over or visibility into employees' mobile devices, which is one reason smishing keeps rising.

Messages you send are analyzed to answer you and are not kept. Your phone number is not stored on a permanent record.

Works alongside the email security and awareness training you already run.

FAQ

Questions security leaders ask

Does this require students to install an app or enroll in MDM?

No. People can report without installing anything. The app is optional and only for populations you choose to protect proactively, such as finance or IT administrators.

Do we see who reported?

Reporters appear as opaque identifiers by default, never as phone numbers. Your team sees the campaign, the lure and the volume.

What about FERPA and student privacy?

Reporting is an intentional act by the student. Messages are analyzed to answer them and are not kept, and phone numbers are not stored on a permanent record. Full details are in the privacy documentation and available under NDA for your review.
