Automate Phishing Triage with Tines and Material
At Material, we know there's no such thing as a universal workflow when it comes to reviewing user-reported emails. Some organizations take a "hands-off" approach and let Material's Phishing Herd Immunity protect users in near-real time with link and attachment speed bumps or blocks. Other organizations with dedicated security staff complement this with a more in-depth approach—manually reviewing reported messages to unravel ongoing adversarial campaigns or identify attacker trends. No matter what your phishing triage workflow is, we believe having the ability to automate repetitive tasks should be possible and straightforward.
