## How to read the security badge and its report

SmartMail checks every incoming email before it is opened and shows the result next to the sender's name with a badge: Safe or Risky and a confidence percentage. Who can do this: A user who can see the email. Clicking the badge opens the Security analysis report; it lists item by item which findings the decision is based on.

## Steps

Open the email and look at the badge next to the sender's name 1. The percentage is the email's trust score.

- 1Security badge

A risky email, with demo data.

Click the badge. In the **Security analysis** window, read the **Risk score** 1 and the **Findings** list 2: authentication results, impersonation and link findings, and past correspondence with the sender.

If you want the email to be re-evaluated, click **Re-analyse** 3.

- 2Reasons

- 3Re-evaluates

Security analysis window, with demo data.

**Tip**The confidence percentage in the badge uses the same scale as the quarantine threshold set by your administrator. While analysis is running on a new email, it says "AI is analysing…"; the email's authentication results are shown meanwhile. Emails you send yourself are not security-analysed.
