Malicious mail

The Malicious mail over time widget provides a graphical overview of the various threats detected in the mail messages analyzed by the server. The x-axis depicts the time (defaults to the portal settings value) and the y-axis the number of relevant messages for a given type of threat.

There are three different types of threats:

• Malicious mail messages contains attachments or URLs that have been determined to be critical. These mail messages are displayed in red.

• Suspicious mail messages have been determined to be of medium risk. The threats they contain, while indicating a potential risk, do not need immediate attention. These mail messages are displayed in orange.

• Benign mail messages are considered low or no risk. These mail messages are displayed in blue.

You can display or hide the different threat types by clicking on their names in the legend at the top of the graph.

When you hover your mouse over a threat on the malicious mail graph, the widget displays a pop-up showing the number of messages and the corresponding threat level detected on that day.
