Inbound Messages (Identified by ML Attack Type): Shows the number of threat messages classified by the Machine Learning analysis of your inbound email traffic. It's important to note that these classifications are not unique counts, meaning that a single message can be classified and counted in multiple categories. Therefore, you should not try to sum these numbers to match the total Email Threats. To see all the messages that match a particular Attack Type, click on that attack type in the Inbound Messages (Identified by ML Attack Type) Bar chart.

7 CDR Messages Discovered: Shows the number of threat messages detected by IOCs or rules in Continuous Detection and Response. It's important to note that these classifications are not unique counts, meaning that a single message can be classified and counted in multiple CDR events and attack classes. Therefore, you should not try to sum these numbers to match the total number of Email Threats. Select on CDR Feed type to see more details about the emails based on the feed type selected.
