Phishing Alert Triage
Problem
Phishing emails can bypass traditional email security controls, leading to potential account compromises or malware infections. Security teams must swiftly identify, validate, and remove malicious emails from user inboxes to prevent further spread or exploitation.
Manually investigating each phishing alert—validating the sender, scanning attachments, analyzing URLs—consumes significant analyst time.
Solution
Using Bricklayer, Security Operations Center (SOC) teams can automate the phishing alert triage process, accelerate response times, and proactively protect the organization against evolving email-based threats.
An employee reports a suspicious email claiming to be from the company’s IT department, requesting password updates via a provided link.
Instead of checking the sender’s domain reputation, scanning any attachments, cross-referencing the suspicious link with threat intelligence feeds, and searching mail server logs to identify other recipients and remove the email, Bricklayer’s AI Agents ingest, correlate, analyze, and report on the alerts.
Involved Agents

- Threat Intel Analyst Agent: Enriches suspicious URLs, domains, and attachments with external and internal threat intelligence data, identifying known malicious indicators or attack patterns
- Reporter Agent: Consolidates all findings into a standardized report, highlighting high-risk phishing attempts, and recommends remediation steps
