Advanced Threat Protection
Email threat analysis for malicious, fraudulent and targeted messages.
For email environments that need inspection of sender identities, attachments, links and QR codes.
Inspect email threats before users act
Email-borne threats can use convincing sender identities, fraudulent requests, attachments, links and QR codes to reach users. Targeted messages may also use content and metadata patterns intended to appear legitimate.
Advanced Threat Protection analyses these parts of an email before users act on them. It detects forged identities and suspicious content, examines attachments in an isolated environment, rewrites URLs through a secure web gateway, and scans QR codes for malicious content. Alerts, reporting and forensic information provide records of attempted attacks.
Where Advanced Threat Protection is used
The product is suited to inspecting inbound email for fraud attempts, forged sender identities and targeted attacks against higher-risk individuals. It also supports analysis of attachments that may contain malware, links that require checking before access, and QR codes embedded in messages or images. Decryption and virus scanning provide an additional inspection path for protected documents.
