한국어 요약
이 문서는 Exchange Online의 Junk Email 폴더를 Power Automate로 모니터링하고, Teams 또는 Email로 알림을 보내는 운영 자동화 패턴을 설명합니다.
핵심은 모든 Junk Mail을 무조건 경보화하는 것이 아니라, 보안팀과 서비스데스크가 확인해야 하는 조건을 정의하고 noise를 줄이는 것입니다. 운영 환경에서는 sender, recipient, subject, received time, spam confidence, attachment 여부, URL 포함 여부를 기준으로 alert rule을 조정해야 합니다.
Operational Checklist
| Checkpoint | Validation Question |
|---|---|
| Trigger scope | 어떤 사용자 또는 공유 사서함의 Junk Email 폴더를 감시할 것인가? |
| Alert rule | 모든 메일을 알릴 것인가, 특정 조건만 알릴 것인가? |
| Recipient | Teams channel, service desk mailbox, SOC queue 중 어디로 보낼 것인가? |
| Noise control | daily summary, high-risk only, VIP user only 같은 제한 조건이 필요한가? |
| Evidence | sender, subject, received time, recipient, URL, attachment 정보를 남기는가? |
| Ownership | Flow owner, backup owner, failure notification owner가 정의되어 있는가? |
