Starting May 10, 2021, customers and partners who place an order of Trend Micro™ Worry-Free XDR or Worry-Free with Co-Managed XDR (managed service partner [MSP] only) bundles will automatically receive Trend Micro™ Email Security Advanced, an upgrade from previously included Trend Micro™ Email Security Standard.
Both new and renewal orders are included. This is purely a feature upgrade without price increase.
Email Security Advanced is Trend Micro’s highest level cloud email gateway. We want to make sure our Trend Micro™ Worry-Free XDR and Worry-Free with Co-Managed XDR customers, partners, and MSPs receive our best email gateway protection.
Together with Trend Micro™ Cloud App Security, the two products offer advanced dual layer email security protection.
- Email continuity allows users to send/receive email during an email service outage
- Cloud sandbox analysis for unknown file and URLs
- Password-protected files can be heuristically extracted or opened to detect any malicious payload that may be embedded
- Writing style analysis for BEC protection
- Longer log search window (60 vs. 30 days)
- Larger message size limit (150 vs. 50 MB)
-

We encourage using the new Email Security Advanced license as soon as you receive it! Just follow these simple steps:
- If your customers are currently using Trend Micro™ Hosted Email Security, follow these steps and video to migrate to Email Security Advanced. Please note on Nov 1st, 2021, Hosted Email Security will be removed from your service plan in LMP. This is part of the Hosted Email Security end of life plan, and applies to Worry-Free XDR and Worry-Free with Co-Managed XDR bundles.

Yes, please check step 4.
Both Email Security Advanced and Cloud App Security will be included in Worry Free XDR and Worry-Free with Co-Managed XDR bundles and both products support sandboxing.
Please note there is a quota limit on Email Security Advanced virtual analyzer (cloud sandboxing), while there is no such limit on Cloud App Security.
We encourage customers and partners to activate the cloud sandboxing included in both Email Security Advanced and Cloud App Security to get double layer protection. For more details, refer to the KB article: Virtual Analyzer Quota Definition in Trend Micro Email Security (TMEMS).
You can start the process at a time that is convenient for you. However, we strongly suggest the new Email Security license key to be activated and used as soon as possible, as it provides extra and stronger protection for your email environment at no extra cost to you.
