Analyze a URL and Retrieve Job Details Using the Cortex Node
This workflow is manually triggered and utilizes the Cortex node to perform a security analysis on a specified URL, automatically invoking Abuse Finder 3.0 to detect potential risks. Based on the job ID from the preliminary analysis results, it further queries detailed job information, thereby creating a closed-loop security analysis process. It effectively addresses the need for users to quickly obtain security risk assessments and analysis results when dealing with suspicious URLs, enhancing the efficiency of security responses. This workflow is suitable for automated processing by cybersecurity analysts and IT security teams.
Workflow Name
Analyze a URL and Retrieve Job Details Using the Cortex Node
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow is manually triggered and leverages the Cortex node to perform a security analysis on a specified URL. It automatically invokes the Abuse Finder 3.0 analyzer to detect potential risks associated with the URL. Based on the job ID returned from the initial analysis, it subsequently queries detailed job information, thereby forming a closed-loop security analysis process.
Core Problem Addressed
This workflow addresses the need for users to quickly obtain security risk assessments and detailed analysis results for suspicious URLs. It enhances security response efficiency by eliminating the complexity and errors associated with manual multi-step operations.
Use Cases
- Cybersecurity analysts requiring risk detection and in-depth review of specific URLs
- IT security teams automating threat intelligence collection
- Building automated security incident response and investigation workflows
- Any scenario requiring rapid URL safety verification and comprehensive analysis
Main Workflow Steps
- User manually triggers the workflow execution
- Cortex node performs an initial analysis of the specified URL using Abuse Finder 3.0
- Using the job ID returned from the initial analysis, a second Cortex node queries detailed results of the job
- Outputs a complete URL security analysis report along with detailed job information
Involved Systems or Services
- Cortex: Utilizes the Cortex security analysis platform API for URL detection and job querying
- n8n Manual Trigger Node: Initiates the workflow
Target Users and Value
- Cybersecurity analysts and security operations teams
- Threat intelligence collectors and analysts
- IT operations and security automation developers
- Any users seeking to automate and simplify URL security analysis workflows
This workflow enables users to rapidly perform URL risk detection and in-depth analysis, streamlining operational steps and improving the speed and accuracy of security incident responses. It is a vital tool for building intelligent security automation processes.
