When an email message enters your network, TippingPoint Advanced Threat Protection for Email gathers security intelligence from several Trend Micro Smart Protection Network services to investigate the email message's risk level.

After scanning the email message for suspicious files, URLs, and characteristics, TippingPoint Advanced Threat Protection for Email correlates the results to either assign a risk level and immediately execute a policy action based on the risk level, or send the file, URL and message samples to Virtual Analyzer for further analysis.
