The Business Email Scam Analyzer is a component of the Email Security.cloud Anti-Spam service. It provides increased visibility into attacks that are related to Business Email Compromise (BEC). It does so by reporting on an additional spam detection method called “Business Email Scam Analyzer”. The data can be reviewed in both the Dashboard and as part of the Anti-Spam related Summary and Detailed reports.

Do I need to do anything?

The change is seamless. Our current spam detection system will continue to function exactly the same way,  with the addition of a new detection method to our reporting called "Business Email Scam Analyzer".  There is nothing to configure to start benefiting from the added reporting visibility.

How do I run a report?

Detailed, step by step instructions can be obtained by reviewing help articles on reporting in the configuration portal.
