Security interface for controlling access to email-data

A system for operating a security interface deployed within a target computing environment for controlling access by a service computing environment to features extracted from email-data on the target computing environment, comprising:

• At least one processor executing a code for:
• receiving, via the security interface, a request from the service computing environment for accessing features extracted from email-data of the target computing environment, wherein the security interface is deployed within the target computing environment;
• accessing, by the security interface, email-data of the target computing environment obtained from an email provider providing email services to the target computing environment;
• extracting features from the email-data, for each email, to generate extracted features of the email-data;
• and
• providing the extracted features of the email-data, by the security interface, to the service computing environment,
• wherein access by the service computing environment to the email-data from which the features are extracted, is blocked.

A non-transitory medium storing program instructions for operating a security interface deployed within a target computing environment for controlling access by a service computing environment to features extracted from email-data on the target computing environment, which when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• receive, via the security interface, a request from the service computing environment for accessing features extracted from email-data of the target computing environment, wherein the security interface is deployed within the target computing environment;
• access, by the security interface, email-data of the target computing environment obtained from an email provider providing email services to the target computing environment;
• extract features from the email-data, for each email, to generate extracted features of the email-data;
• and
• provide the extracted features of the email-data, by the security interface, to the service computing environment,
• wherein access by the service computing environment to the email-data from which the features are extracted, is blocked.
