Automated Email Header Analysis for IP Reputation & Spoofing Detection (Outlook)

Overview

This workflow automates the analysis of incoming Outlook emails to detect spoofing attempts and evaluate sender IP reputation. By leveraging multiple API integrations and advanced parsing logic, it provides a robust security layer for email communications.

Key Features

• Automated Trigger: Initiates on receipt of new emails in Microsoft Outlook.
• Header Extraction: Retrieves and parses email headers, focusing on 'Received', 'Authentication-Results', and 'Received-SPF' fields.
• IP Analysis: Extracts the original sender's IP and queries external services like IP Quality Score and IP API for reputation checks.
• Conditional Logic: Uses decision nodes to handle different header scenarios and ensure comprehensive analysis.

Benefits

• Enhanced Security: Quickly identifies spoofed emails and suspicious IPs, reducing phishing risks.
• Time Savings: Eliminates manual header inspection, enabling faster incident response.
• Seamless Integration: Works directly with Outlook and external IP reputation services for end-to-end automation.

Use Cases

• IT Security Teams: Automate threat detection in inbound emails.
• Compliance: Ensure only legitimate emails reach users.
• Incident Response: Rapidly flag and investigate suspicious messages.
