Automated Security Alerts and Incident Response with n8n and Sublime Security
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your security operations by automatically notifying users in Slack about quarantined emails and creating Jira tickets for critical incidents. This n8n workflow integrates with Sublime Security to enhance your incident response capabilities.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow acts as a crucial link between Sublime Security's threat detection and your team's incident response. When Sublime Security detects and quarantines an email, this workflow springs into action. It first attempts to locate the recipient's Slack account using their email address. If the quarantined email has already been opened by the recipient, indicating a potential risk, the workflow automatically generates a detailed Jira ticket. This ensures that security events are promptly communicated to the affected user and efficiently tracked for resolution by your operations team. The workflow leverages webhooks for real-time alerts from Sublime Security and integrates seamlessly with Slack and Jira for a comprehensive security posture.
Key Features
- Real-time Quarantined Email Notifications: Instantly alert users via Slack when their emails are quarantined by Sublime Security.
- Smart User Lookup: Automatically finds the recipient's Slack user ID based on their email address.
- Conditional Jira Ticket Creation: Generates Jira tickets only if a quarantined email is opened before the quarantine takes effect, prioritizing critical incidents.
- Rich Incident Data: Populates Jira tickets with detailed information including flagged rules, email subject, sender, recipient, and timestamps.
- Automated Security Workflow: Reduces manual intervention in security alert processing and incident management.
How To Use
- Configure Sublime Security: Set up a rule in Sublime Security with auto-quarantine enabled and create a webhook to send alerts to the n8n workflow.
- Set up n8n Webhook: In n8n, use the 'Receive Sublime Security Alert' node (webhook) to receive incoming alerts from Sublime Security.
- Retrieve Message Details: Use the 'Get message details in Sublime Security' HTTP Request node to fetch comprehensive details about the quarantined message using its ID.
- Check if Email was Opened: Employ the 'has email been opened?' IF node to determine if the recipient accessed the email before quarantine.
- Find Slack User: If the email was opened, use the 'lookup slack user by email' HTTP Request node to find the recipient's Slack user ID based on their email address.
- Create Jira Ticket: If the email was opened, use the 'Jira Software' node to create a ticket. Configure the project, issue type, and populate the summary and description fields with relevant details from Sublime Security.
- Configure Credentials: Ensure you have set up the necessary credentials in n8n for Sublime Security (API key with Header Auth) and Slack (API access token with
users:read.emailandim:writescopes).
