Email Security

Email security integrations cover the gateways and mail-protection services that inspect inbound and outbound mail for phishing, malware and impersonation. Their logs answer the questions that start most incidents: who was sent what, who clicked, what was quarantined, and what was released afterwards. Message and click telemetry correlates directly with identity and endpoint data (a delivered-then-clicked URL followed by an unusual sign-in is a far stronger signal than either event alone), which is why these feeds are usually onboarded early.
