The text discusses the challenges and strategies involved in automating security operations, particularly in handling phishing incidents, using Tines' Automation Capability Matrix. It outlines a comprehensive process for phishing response, which includes receiving alerts, notifying teams, and conducting thorough analysis using tools like email security gateways, VirusTotal, URLscan, and EmailRep for enrichment purposes. The process emphasizes the importance of tracking and reporting suspicious activities, user interaction for real-time updates, and eventual remediation actions such as domain and file hash blocklisting. The narrative underscores the benefits of automation in enhancing efficiency and response times, while also advocating for starting small and expanding capabilities to address broader security challenges, thereby facilitating easier automation opportunities in the future.
