Trend Micro Email and Collaboration Security

What is Trend Micro Email Security?

Email is where most attack chains begin, and almost never where they end: the message is the first step, and the interesting part happens on the workstation afterwards. That is why the useful cybersecurity question about a mail filter is what it hands over to the tools watching the next step.

Trend Micro Email and Collaboration Security is an advanced email and collaboration tools protection solution against phishing, BEC, ransomware, and other threats. It uses AI to detect the latest attacks.

Key differentiators:

• AI-powered detection - machine learning detects advanced phishing
• BEC Protection - protection against CEO fraud scams
• Native integration - direct integration with M365 and Google
• XDR correlation - correlation with endpoint and cloud in Vision One
