Use Case #4: Email Integration 

Use Case #4: Email Integration 

Exchange/Email servers are a vital part of implementing automated response actions as one of the most common entry points for malicious/unknown entities into customers’ environments. The SOC is enabled with these response actions to prevent and mitigate any potential threat that can be identified through various tool-based detections and/or user reported phish emails. 

 

In this use case automation, users from the customer environment are setup with a reporting process where they can easily report specific emails to the SOC which can be further analyzed, triaged, and investigated using the tools within the SOC. Once identified as malicious or harmful, the SOC can trigger actions to remove similar emails from across the environment and avoid other user compromise.

Typical Actions

  1. Search for similar emails across inboxes 
  2. Block sender with matching message ID 

Default Playbooks

  1. Exchange Email integration (use-case specific)

  2. Mail server address 
  3. Other Graph API details:
