URL Analysis and Threat Detection: URLs within emails are automatically extracted and analyzed using AlienVault OTX. This process, which would typically require manual checking and cross-referencing against threat intelligence databases, is streamlined, reducing the time and effort needed to identify potential threats.
Email Header and Sender Verification: The sender's email headers are checked against MXtoolbox to verify legitimacy and detect any blocklisted IPs. This automated verification replaces the manual process of checking sender credibility, enhancing accuracy and speed in identifying malicious senders.
Attachment Analysis and Malware Detection: Attachments are decoded and submitted to Glimps for malware analysis. Traditionally performed manually with significant time investment, this task is automated to ensure a quick and thorough examination, minimizing the risk of malware infiltration and improving overall security response times.
Microsoft Graph: In this use case, Microsoft Graph interfaces with Exchange to retrieve and manage email data. It is key in accessing email headers and message content, enabling automated analysis and response actions without manual intervention.
AlienVault OTX: AlienVault OTX analyzes URLs extracted from emails. It provides threat intelligence by checking URLs against known threat indicators, helping to identify potential malicious links quickly and accurately.
MXtoolbox: MXtoolbox verifies the email sender's information. It checks the sender's IP against blocklists to detect suspicious activity, ensuring that only legitimate emails are processed further.
GLIMPS: Glimps analyzes email attachments for malware. It decodes and examines attachments, providing a detailed analysis to detect any malicious content, thus enhancing the security of email communications.
