Abstract
In a cybersecurity network, a system identifies and classifies non-malicious messages by receiving a user notification indicating that the user has reported a received message as potentially malicious message, and determining whether the received message is legitimate or potentially malicious. When the system determines that the message is a legitimate, it further analyzes the message to assign a class that may include trusted internal sender, trusted external sender, or training a simulated phishing message. It will then cause the user's device to provide the user with information corresponding to the assigned class. The system may also quarantine a received message and release the message from the quarantine only after determining that the message is legitimate and receiving a user acknowledgment.
