## Trend Micro Email Reputation Advanced

This service identifies and stops sources of spam while they are in the process of sending millions of messages. This is a dynamic, real-time antispam solution. To provide this service, Trend Micro continuously monitors network and traffic patterns and immediately updates the dynamic reputation database as new spam sources emerge, often within minutes of the first sign of spam. As evidence of spam activity ceases, the dynamic reputation database is updated accordingly.
Like Email Reputation Standard, Email Reputation Advanced is a DNS query-based service, but two queries can be made to two different databases: the standard reputation database and the dynamic reputation database (a database updated dynamically in real time). These two databases have distinct entries (no overlapping IP addresses), allowing Trend Micro to maintain a very efficient and effective database that can quickly respond to highly dynamic sources of spam. Email Reputation Advanced Service has blocked more than 80% of total incoming connections (all were malicious) in customer networks. Results will vary depending on how much of your incoming email message stream is spam. The more spam you receive, the higher the percentage of blocked connections you will see.
