Great

To secure your email, use a strong, unique password (passphrase style), enable multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA), keep software updated, don't click suspicious links or open unknown attachments, and regularly review your account's security settings. Use a password manager and a VPN on public Wi-Fi for added layers of security.

According to these tips, how does Trend Micro Mobile Security help check email security against phishing?

Hi, 

Trend Micro Mobile Security helps protect against email phishing by checking the safety of links and websites rather than reading your email content.

When you tap a link in an email, the app uses Trend Micro’s Web Reputation technology to scan the URL in real time and determine if it’s malicious, fraudulent, or a known phishing site. If a threat is detected, you’ll see a warning so you can avoid opening the link.

In short, it helps keep you safe by blocking or warning against phishing links accessed from emails, while respecting your privacy by not directly scanning email messages themselves.
