Frequently Asked Questions.

Spam generally refers to unsolicited or unwanted messages. Graymail includes legitimate newsletters, promotions, and other bulk emails that an employee may have subscribed to but no longer finds useful. Neither category automatically means a message is malicious.

Adaptive Phish Triage analyzes headers, metadata, message content, and threat indicators to classify reported emails. This helps separate routine submissions from messages that require security investigation.

Adaptive Phish Triage reduces noise from duplicate submissions so repeated reports of the same message do not create unnecessary review work. Security teams can focus on the underlying message and any action it requires.

Phish Triage analyzes employee-reported messages, while Email Security detects threats across inboxes, including attacks employees do not report. Together, they support investigation and removal of confirmed threats across affected inboxes.

Keep inboxes focused on the work that matters.
