Automated Email Threat Analysis and Case Management with TheHive & Cortex

Overview

This workflow automates the process of analyzing incoming emails for potential threats and managing security incidents using TheHive and Cortex platforms. It streamlines the detection, investigation, and response to suspicious emails, enhancing organizational security operations.

Key Features

• Automated Email Retrieval: Uses IMAP to fetch emails for analysis.
• Threat Analysis: Integrates with Cortex analyzers to scan email content and attachments for indicators of compromise.
• Case Management: Automatically creates and updates cases in TheHive based on analysis results, linking observables and relevant data.
• Conditional Logic: Employs IF nodes to determine workflow paths based on threat detection outcomes.
• Incident Enrichment: Updates cases with domain and email observables for comprehensive tracking.

Benefits

• Rapid Threat Response: Reduces manual workload by automating threat detection and case creation.
• Improved Accuracy: Minimizes human error in incident triage and documentation.
• Centralized Management: Consolidates incident data in TheHive for efficient investigation and reporting.
• Time Savings: Accelerates the incident response lifecycle, allowing security teams to focus on critical tasks.

Use Cases

• Security Operations Centers (SOCs) automating phishing email triage.
• Organizations seeking to enhance email threat detection and response.
• Teams needing integrated case management for cybersecurity incidents.
