The new features of SMEX 12.5 SP1 are as follows:

• Writing Style Training
  This version of ScanMail integrates with Trend Micro‘s Writing Style DNA technology as an additional layer of protection for your organization’s users against Business Email Compromise (BEC) threats. It scans the written English email messages of a desired individual to learn their particular writing style, and then generates a writing style model on the email system.

• Writing Style Verification
  This version of ScanMail allows administrators to enable writing style verification using the model to compare with the user’s subsequent English email messages allowing detection of probable BEC attacks.

• Connected Threat Defense Integration
  This version of ScanMail enables administrators to configure ScanMail synchronize suspicious object list for file objects from the Trend Micro Control Manager server. Control Manager brings together Trend Micro products and solutions to help you detect, analyze, and respond to targeted attacks and advanced threats, before they unleash lasting damage.

As an enhancement, SMEX 12.5 SP1 enables administrators to configure scheduled scan to pause after a certain number of hours. If the scan pauses before it completes, it resumes at the next scheduled date and time.
