Sublime for email detection engineers
Give your detection engineers everything they need to hunt threats and then write, test, and iterate on rules with our comprehensive detection engineering workbench.

Built for detection engineers, by detection engineers
Sublime's detection engineering capabilities give you the tools to adapt to novel threats with speed and precision.
Agentic detection
Our Autonomous Detection Engineer (ADÉ) writes rules for novel attacks, so engineers never need to write a Rule from scratch.
Tools for iteration
Our rule editor’s VS Code-like interface lets detection engineers test and iterate their rules directly against real attacks.
Backtest immediately
After writing a Rule, engineers can retroactively evaluate its performance at scale and tune for accuracy.
The promise of an agent continuously tailoring and backtesting new protections for our environment is a force multiplier. It means our defenses don't just work, they evolve—we get the benefit without having to do the work.
Autonomous Detection Engineer
ADÉ takes results from ASA and creates new coverage, so you don’t have to. After a detection has been autonomously written, backtested, iterated upon, and finalized, a human analyst is notified for final review before it’s added to your instance of Sublime.
Detection engineer workbench
From our EML Analyzer, engineers can create rules, test them, see where issues exist, iterate, and re-test until the rule meets their expectations using our detection engineering workbench.
Write better rules
Rules require balance. Broad rules lead to false positives and narrow rules to false negatives. Sublime's detection engineering platform lets teams strike the right balance.
Sublime offers a standardized JSON schema for representing an email message (MDM), as well as a universal, email-provider agnostic domain-specific language (DSL) for Rules, Hunts, and response Actions.

Engineers can write AI-powered rules against an open-ended set of detection signals using functions like file analysis, intent analysis, sender behavior, ML-powered link analysis, QR code analysis, logo detection, Base64 decoding, entity recognition and more.

Rules can be backtested against all retained messages to more accurately determine efficacy.

Hunts and Detection Rules are both written in MQL, so a successful Hunt can be turned into a powerful Detection Rule that prevents future attacks.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Sublime's detection engineering platform different from traditional email security?
Sublime provides full transparency with MQL and standardized data models, unlike black-box solutions. For advanced teams, the platform is fully extensible, allowing you to write, test, and iterate on custom detections with complete visibility into detection logic and performance.
How does the EML Analyzer improve detection rule development?
EML Analyzer offers a VS Code-like interface where detection engineers can test rules against real attacks, see exactly where issues exist, iterate on logic, and re-test until rules meet expectations within the detection engineering platform.
Can I backtest detection rules against historical email data?
Yes, Sublime's detection engineering platform allows engineers to backtest rules against all retained messages to accurately measure efficacy, tune for precision, and validate performance before deploying to production environments.
What is Message Query Language (MQL) and how does it work?
MQL is Sublime's domain-specific query language for writing detection rules and hunts. It provides intuitive syntax with ML-powered functions, enrichments, and signal stacking capabilities designed specifically for email security detection engineering.
How do I convert threat hunts into automated detection rules?
Both hunts and detection rules use the same MQL syntax in our detection engineering platform. Successful hunts can be converted into real-time detections with a few clicks, enabling proactive protection against similar future threats.
