Integrating Your Complex Set of Security Tools

Defending organizations from cyberthreats is a complex task that often requires a diverse and complex set of tools. And while any organization can simply instruct its IT and security team to add new security technologies, getting them to work together can be far from simple.

Unfortunately, however, the ability to integrate security solutions is not just essential to optimizing an organization’s security investments, it’s the key to ensuring the organization stays as safe as possible.

Mimecast talks a lot about our belief in the power of together, and that is because our philosophy genuinely puts stock in the idea that no single security solution can stop every threat. We know that it takes a host of solutions working together in tandem to protect an organization from today’s advanced persistent threats.

Our purpose-built, cloud-native human risk management platform provides an extensible architecture that lets organizations quickly and easily integrate Mimecast products with their existing investments.

With pre-built integrations plus example code and documentation that helps organizations easily create their own integrations, our customers have the flexibility to build a sustainable cyber resilience strategy and leverage the collective power of the best technologies in the industry. This approach that leverages the power of together results in reduced complexity, lower risk, and optimized investments.

Organizations that integrate their security solutions benefit from:

• Investigation and alerting: Enhanced logging with visibility to administrative changes, account access, and message lifecycle to provide a thorough assessment of the email security landscape. Seamlessly integrate to SIEMs to provide a comprehensive view of an organization's full security estate.
• Threat sharing: When working with multiple security platforms, the combined knowledge of these platforms is critical for the most expansive protection possible. Organizations can take information from other sources and preventatively strengthen their email security posture.
• Simplify security operations: When a security incident has been discovered, an organization should take every possible measure to remediate and prevent the threat from spreading, or gaining exposure through reduced manual effort. Organizations gain the capability to block addresses, IPs, URLs and remediate existing risks.
• Security investigation: When looking into a potential incident, robust searching capabilities are essential. Organizations benefit from powerful message tracking to identify issues in real time, which can be quickly used to address a concern quickly.
• Administration: APIs provide the ability to perform day-to-day administration tasks with capabilities extending from adding users to managing held mail and policy modifications.
