Automate Malware Detection

Flow Automation Highlights

File Monitoring on Google Drive: The workflow constantly monitors Google Drive for new file uploads, eliminating the need for manual checks. This automated vigilance ensures immediate detection of potential threats, significantly reducing the window of vulnerability compared to periodic manual reviews.

File Analysis with GLIMPS: Newly uploaded files are automatically submitted to GLIMPS Malware Finder for analysis. This replaces time-consuming manual malware scans, providing rapid and consistent threat assessment without human intervention and enhancing security response times and accuracy.

Automated Remediation: Upon malware detection, the system automatically deletes the infected file from Google Drive. This swift action prevents the spread of threats across the organization, which could take hours or days if performed manually, dramatically improving overall security posture.

Slack Notifications: The workflow sends instant notifications to relevant team members via Slack about analysis results and actions taken. This automated communication eliminates threat awareness and response delays, enabling quicker decision-making compared to traditional email or manual reporting methods.

Orchestration Toolbox

Google Drive: Google Drive functions as the primary file storage and sharing platform in this workflow. It triggers the automation process when new files are uploaded, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis of incoming data. This integration enables proactive security measures for cloud-stored files.

GLIMPS: GLIMPS serves as the core security analysis tool in this workflow. It examines files uploaded to Google Drive for potential malware threats. By automating this critical security check, GLIMPS significantly enhances the organization's ability to detect and prevent malware infiltration through cloud storage.

Google Workspace: Google Workspace integration allows the workflow to access and manage file metadata and content. It provides essential information about uploaded files, enabling more comprehensive security analysis and facilitating automated remediation actions when threats are detected.

Slack: Slack acts as the communication hub for this automated security workflow. It receives and disseminates analysis results and remediation actions to relevant team members. This integration ensures that security teams are promptly informed of potential threats or successful remediations, facilitating rapid response and maintaining team awareness.
