Automated Website Security and Threat Analysis Workflow

This n8n workflow automates comprehensive security analysis of websites through user-submitted URLs. It begins with a form trigger where users input a URL for testing. When a URL is submitted, the workflow performs an HTTP request to check the landing page’s status and retrieve security headers. Simultaneously, it queries AlienVault’s Threat Intelligence API to gather domain and threat data.

Next, the workflow consolidates the collected data, analyzing potential security issues such as server errors, absent security headers, malware indications, or threat pulses. This data is then processed by an AI-powered security expert node that generates an in-depth security vulnerability report, identifying potential misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and exploits.

The AI’s analysis is formatted into a user-friendly HTML report, which is then emailed to a specified recipient. This automation provides website owners, cybersecurity teams, or managed service providers with timely insights into website security posture and risks, enabling informed mitigation steps.

It’s particularly useful for ongoing security audits, vulnerability assessments, or monitoring multiple websites for threats and misconfigurations in a streamlined, automated manner.
