Short answer

How can I use my AI to find suspicious network objects?

Your AI pulls malicious IPs, URLs, and files from Trend Micro and compares them against your email logs. This lets you spot patterns between network threats and incoming mail. You'll see exactly how the data flows from detection to investigation.

Investigation outcomes

Where your investigation leads.

The AI organizes the raw data from Trend Micro into these specific outcomes.

THREAT LIST

Identified malicious objects

The AI uses Trend Micro data to list specific IPs, URLs, and files flagged as threats. You get a clean list of what to watch for.

EMAIL LOGS

Correlated email activity

The agent pulls email logs to see if any suspicious objects were delivered via mail. This connects network threats to specific user interactions.

TRIAGE

Prioritized threat clusters

The AI groups related IPs or files to show you the scope of an attack. It highlights which threats are most active in your environment.

HUMAN

Manual remediation

The AI identifies the targets, but you decide which IPs to block or which files to quarantine. You maintain full control over the final response.

The workflow

What your AI does when a threat is suspected.

The AI automates the data gathering so you can focus on the actual investigation.

  1. Gather threat data

    The agent scans Trend Micro to find any flagged IPs, URLs, or files currently hitting your network.

  2. Check email history

    The AI pulls recent email activity logs to see if those specific malicious objects appeared in user inboxes.

    list_email_activity_logs

  3. Cross-reference hits

    The agent compares the network objects against the email logs to find direct links between a file and a sender.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI block an IP address automatically?

    No. The AI can only list and identify suspicious objects. You must manually perform any blocking or remediation in your security console.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete malicious emails from user inboxes?

    No. The AI only reads the email activity logs to find matches. It does not have the capability to modify or delete email content.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my network traffic?

    No. The AI only sees the data provided by the Trend Micro tools, such as flagged objects and email logs.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which files are suspicious?

    It relies on the list of suspicious objects retrieved from Trend Micro via the list_suspicious_objects tool.

  • 05

    Can I ask the AI to look at logs from a specific date?

    Yes, you can specify timeframes in your prompt, and the AI will use the available email activity logs to find that data.
