Email Security
Torq unifies email security controls to detect, analyse and remediate phishing and compromised-account activity automatically.
The challenge
Email remains the most common way attackers get a foothold, yet most organisations run several separate tools for filtering, sandboxing and account monitoring that were never designed to act on each other's findings. Analysts end up manually cross-referencing signals and taking remediation steps one system at a time.
Torq's email security use cases correlate these controls and automate the follow-through, from removing a malicious email that already reached an inbox to disabling an account compromised through a phishing attack.
Published sub-use cases
Enhance Detection Accuracy and Response
Correlates signals across multiple secure email gateway solutions and coordinates remediation, such as removing an already-delivered malicious email or tightening email security controls, without an analyst having to work across each console separately.
Correlate Endpoint Data for a Holistic View of Phishing impact
Joins email findings with endpoint data to establish the true scope of a phishing incident, triggering malware scans and coordinating with EDR tooling to remove threats and restore affected systems.
Attachment and URL Analysis
Runs email attachments and links through multiple sandboxing technologies to check for malware or malicious content, including checking URLs against known-bad domain lists, and takes the appropriate containment action based on the result.
Compromised Account Response
Analyses cloud account behaviour associated with a phishing attack, automatically disables compromised credentials, and speeds up the credential reset process while keeping the affected user informed.
Enhance Email Detection Efficacy and Context
Feeds multiple external threat intelligence sources into email security controls so known malicious domains, addresses and IPs can be identified and blocked proactively rather than after a user has already been targeted.
Email Compliance Management
Automates enforcement of email-related regulatory obligations, such as archiving, encryption and access control policies, reducing the manual overhead of keeping email usage compliant.
Core capabilities
Multi-gateway correlation
Combines signals from several secure email gateway tools into one workflow.
Sandbox and URL analysis
Automates attachment and link inspection across multiple sandboxing engines.
Endpoint coordination
Links email findings to endpoint tooling for full-impact assessment and cleanup.
Automated account containment
Disables compromised accounts and accelerates credential resets.
Compliance workflow automation
Applies archiving, encryption and access policies consistently.
Removing a phishing email after it reaches a mailbox
A phishing email evades initial filtering and lands in several employee inboxes. A user reports it, and Torq correlates the report with the gateway logs to identify every recipient, retrieves the message from all affected mailboxes automatically, and checks the embedded link against threat intelligence and sandbox analysis. Where a recipient is found to have clicked the link, the workflow cross-checks recent account activity and triggers a credential reset if anything looks unusual, closing the loop without the security team manually chasing each mailbox.
- 1User report triggers correlation across all recipient mailboxes
- 2Malicious message is retrieved and the link analysed automatically
- 3Affected accounts are checked and reset if compromise is suspected
Expected outcomes
- Faster removal of malicious emails already delivered to inboxes
- More complete visibility into the true scope of a phishing incident
- Reduced manual cross-referencing between email and endpoint tools
- Consistent enforcement of email compliance obligations
How CyberLane helps
CyberLane helps security teams map their existing email security stack against Torq's automation model, prioritising which detection and response workflows to automate first and how compromised-account response should interact with existing identity processes.
- Email security tooling and workflow assessment
- Phishing response automation design
- Compromised-account response alignment with identity workflows
- Compliance automation scoping
CyberLane is independent and works on the decision rather than the deployment. Product-specific delivery is coordinated with the vendor or a qualified implementation partner.
