Triage Suspicious Emails
Analyze a suspicious email's headers, links, and content to quickly determine whether it is a phishing attempt before taking any action.
Phishing Campaign Triage
Analyze a reported phishing email, scan embedded URLs, research campaign context, and document findings in a triage report.
When an employee reports a suspicious email, the security team needs to quickly determine whether it is a real threat, who it is targeting, and whether others may have received the same message. Slow triage means the window for proactive response closes.
Check the reported email for phishing signals and authentication failures. Scan embedded URLs for malicious content and threat reputation. Search for intelligence on the sender and URLs to determine if they are part of a known campaign. Document everything in a triage report with indicators of compromise and recommended actions.
Used by security operations centers, IT administrators, and incident response teams triaging reported phishing emails. Output is a formatted triage report ready for escalation or user notification.
Steps
1
Check Reported Email for Phishing Signals
Analyze a reported suspicious email for phishing indicators — authentication failures, suspicious sender patterns, and known threat signatures.
Input: Reported suspicious email headers and sender domain
Output: Phishing signal analysis with authentication failures, risk score, and threat indicators
2
Scan Links in the Email
Check URLs embedded in the phishing email for malicious content, redirects, and threat reputation.
Input: URLs extracted from the suspicious email
Output: URL threat assessment with malicious content detection and reputation data
3
Research Threat Campaign Context
Search for intelligence on the sender domain and URLs to identify if they are part of a known phishing campaign or threat actor.
Input: Sender domain and URLs from the email
Output: Threat intelligence context on the sender and URLs including campaign attribution
4
Write Phishing Triage Report
Document the phishing analysis findings including indicators of compromise, threat attribution, and recommended user guidance.
Input: Email analysis, URL scan results, and threat intelligence
Output: Phishing triage report with IOCs, attribution, and recommended response actions
