EMAIL THREAT ANALYSIS · Workflow idea

Bring suspicious email attachments into a consistent security review.

Gather email messages with attached message files and review them against the organization’s security rules. Organize the findings into a clear summary, including when no rule matches, so an analyst can verify the evidence and choose an appropriate response before the team is notified.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A newly received email that includes a message file for security review

“Check the selected attachment against approved security rules, organize the findings, and prepare a private summary for human review before any response or wider notice.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps an email security team consistently review attached messages and make the resulting findings easier to assess.

  1. Identify messages with reviewable attachments

    Gather incoming emails that contain the selected attached message files and keep their original sender and subject available.

  2. Check that the attachment can be assessed

    Confirm the file is present and readable; hold unexpected formats or incomplete messages for a person to inspect.

  3. Review the message against approved security rules

    Organize which findings matched and did not match while preserving the evidence and the rules that informed the result.

  4. Prepare a private findings summary

    Summarize the message and review outcome for the security team without treating an automated match or non-match as a final verdict.

  5. Approve response and team communication

    Require an analyst to verify the findings, decide any containment or incident steps, and approve the audience and wording of an update.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A review-ready security summary showing matched or unmatched findings, with evidence and next steps awaiting analyst approval.

The handoff

A review-ready security summary showing matched or unmatched findings, with evidence and next steps awaiting analyst approval.

Keep in mind

A rule match needs investigation, and no match does not guarantee that a message is safe. Have a security analyst review the original message and findings, decide whether it is malicious, and approve incident handling or team communication before any action is taken.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose email sources and attachment types

Select which incoming messages and attached message formats should be included in the review.

Agree on security rules and evidence

Document the approved review criteria and which details analysts need to validate a match or non-match.

Set private review access

Choose a restricted location for message findings and name the security analysts responsible for assessment.

Test suspicious, ordinary, and unreadable messages

Check varied examples and confirm that uncertain findings, unreadable attachments, and response decisions are held for human review.
