An example embodiment may include a security enforcement point device disposed within a managed network and a security decision point device disposed within a computational instance of a remote network management platform. The security decision point device may be configured to: receive a message by way of the managed network; parse the message to identify observable indicators of one or more of the security threats, where the observable indicators include at least one of a network addresses, a hyperlink, or a representation of an attached file; remotely query a security threat database for the observable indicators; receive, from the security threat database, an indication that the observable indicators are associated with a particular security threat, and transmit, to the security enforcement point device, a command to update its associated security policy such that the particular security threat is mitigated.
