The partnership entails mutual data stream exchanges to boost the speed and accuracy of threat intelligence on email-based attacks, leading to higher detection and remediation rates.

"By exchanging threat intelligence data, Trend Micro and Agari can better protect customers, brands, and sensitive information from the ever-increasing onslaught of cybercrime."

"Agari's threat intelligence for email is both unique and extensive.

"Trend Micro has consistently been a leader in their depth of knowledge related to email abuse. The work Agari and Trend Micro can do together will set up the clients and brands we work with for success against cybercriminals."
