About Mimecast

Mimecast describes the problem it addresses as human risk. Its solutions page says Mimecast offers a unified and dynamic solution to rapidly identify and reduce risk caused by human actions and to empower users to make smarter security decisions. Mimecast says a unified platform with integrated protection across email, chat and file-sharing is essential to safeguard an organization's collaboration.^[2][5][15]

For email and collaboration threat protection, Mimecast says its solution blocks phishing, BEC, impersonation, malware and collaboration-based attacks using adaptive AI across email, Teams, Slack and more.^[2][11][16]

Mimecast Managed Threat Response is a managed service for emails that users report. Mimecast says each report is analyst-investigated, classified and remediated 24x7. Mimecast says the service works with the existing report button and that API outputs route to a SIEM, SOAR or case management platform.

For insider risk, Mimecast Incydr is the data protection product. Mimecast says Incydr brings email, endpoint, cloud, browser and agentic risk surfaces into one view, scored for risk and tied back to people. Mimecast says Incydr offers adaptive controls that range from in-the-moment education to allow-with-justification to targeted blocking. The Agent Risk Center, part of Mimecast Incydr, discovers the agents operating in an environment, classifies their AI activity against the customer's rules, and applies controls to reduce data exposure. Mimecast says Incydr offers data residency options and FedRAMP-authorized solutions, and that an ultra-lightweight agent supports Windows, Mac and Linux.^[2][9][18]

For security behavior management, Mimecast Engage delivers behavior-driven interventions powered by the Human Risk Command Center. Mimecast says Engage can deliver nudges via email, Slack or Teams, and that it offers 200+ training modules available in 27 languages. Mimecast says Engage connects with security tools such as CrowdStrike, Okta and Netskope.^[2][7]

For archiving, Mimecast Cloud Archive provides self-service tools to collect, discover, preserve and review collaboration data. Mimecast says Supervision supports review, escalation, export and reporting, Sync & Recover protects files, folders, contacts, tasks and notes, and Archive for MS Teams keeps encrypted copies of Teams data.^[9]
