URL Extraction and Analysis: URLs within emails are extracted and analyzed for potential threats. When done manually, this task involves tedious and error-prone processes. Automation ensures consistent and rapid identification of malicious URLs, enhancing security and reducing the time spent on manual checks.
Attachment Analysis: Email attachments are automatically scanned for threats, a process that typically requires manual intervention and specialized knowledge. Automation streamlines this task, ensuring thorough and consistent analysis, reducing the risk of oversight, and freeing up valuable human resources for more strategic activities.
Threat Intelligence Integration: Integrating internal and external threat intelligence databases allows for comprehensive email content analysis. Manual integration is time-consuming and prone to errors. Automation ensures seamless and accurate data correlation, enhancing threat detection capabilities and improving overall security posture.
Google Pub/Sub: This service acts as the trigger for the email analysis workflow. It sends notifications when new emails arrive, initiating the automated process. By using Pub/Sub, the workflow can start immediately upon email receipt, ensuring timely threat detection.
Google Sheets: In this use case, Google Sheets stores historical data about email interactions. It helps track changes in the mailbox, providing a reference point for identifying new emails. This integration ensures that the workflow can access necessary historical data for accurate analysis.
Google IAM: This API manages access and permissions within the workflow. It ensures the automation has the credentials to access and analyze emails securely. IAM plays a critical role in maintaining security and compliance throughout the process.
Google OAuth: OAuth is used for secure authentication, allowing the workflow to access Gmail data without compromising user credentials. It facilitates secure communication between the automation and Gmail, ensuring that email data is accessed safely.
Gmail: The Mail API retrieves email content for analysis. It provides the necessary data for the workflow to extract URLs and attachments, enabling thorough threat analysis. This API is essential for accessing the email data required for the automation to function effectively.
