Automatic Remediation – Automatic Remediation can automatically remediate email messages that contain malicious URLs or attachments. All user-reported messages are automatically scanned for malicious content. When a threat is detected all matching emails are moved from users’ mailboxes into their junk folders. Security teams will receive an alert notifying them of an incident.
