Human Risk. Secured: Mimecast’s Approach to Implementing Protection By AI, From AI, and For AI 

In today’s hyper-connected digital world, the human element is both a strength and a vulnerability. As cyber threats grow in complexity and attackers exploit both technology and human behavior, organizations face a new reality: the human layer must be secured just as rigorously as the technological one. At Mimecast, we’re proud to unveil our AI-native Human Risk Platform innovations, setting a new standard for resilience in the face of evolving risks. Our vision is clear: offering protection by AI, from AI, and for AI. But what does that mean in practice? Let’s explore how Mimecast is pioneering a holistic, future-proof approach to cybersecurity.

Protection By AI: Predict, Prevent, and Respond—Faster Than Ever 

Mimecast AI analyzes over 18 billion security events daily across more than 42,000 customers, powering predictive threat prevention, automated security controls, and accelerated governance. Our platform is purpose-built to adapt to each organization’s unique risk profile. Key to this leap forward is Mimecast Mihra AI (Mimecast Intelligent Human Risk Agent), which delivers insights, automation, and simplicity across protection, compliance, administration, and reporting. With Mihra AI, security teams benefit from:

• Investigation Agent: Initial customer feedback shows investigations up to 7x faster than competing solutions.
• Spotlight Agent: Instantly surfaces context from massive volumes of data, accelerating decision-making and incident response.

Security From AI: Defending Against Next-Generation Attacks

While AI is a powerful ally, it’s also a tool increasingly leveraged by threat actors. Deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-driven account takeovers are no longer theoretical risks—they’re daily realities. Mimecast’s platform is engineered to protect organizations from AI-powered threats by:

• Detecting and blocking AI-generated attacks that mimic trusted communication styles.
• Detecting and remediating account compromise or takeover.
• Thwarting emerging multi-vector attacks across email and collaboration suites.

Our adaptive model monitors and responds to the latest attack patterns, ensuring organizations remain resilient even as adversaries evolve their tactics.

Security For AI: Enabling Responsible and Safe AI Adoption

Adopting generative AI tools in the workplace offers immense productivity gains—but also new governance challenges. Mimecast empowers organizations to embrace AI safely, with:

• Visibility into how generative AI is used across your environment, informing robust governance and acceptable use policies.
• Detection and prevention of Shadow AI, ensuring only authorized AI tools are engaged, and that usage aligns with organizational standards.

By shining a light on both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI activity, Mimecast helps organizations harness the power of AI while maintaining control and compliance.

A Unified, Resilient Approach

Security by AI, from AI, and for AI is more than a slogan—it’s a comprehensive strategy for the threats and opportunities of tomorrow. Mimecast unifies AI-driven insights, automation, and human-centric security into a single, integrated platform. With features like unified search across email and collaboration tools, redesigned DMARC management, and dynamic user scorecards for behavior coaching, our solution empowers organizations to:

• Quantify and reduce human risk.
• Accelerate digital transformation securely.
• Build long-term resilience in an ever-changing threat landscape.

Mimecast’s unified, AI-native platform stands apart from point solutions. Security and compliance teams can now benefit from:

• Unified Search: Investigate threats and compliance violations across Microsoft 365, Slack, and Google Workspace from one interface.
• Behavioral Nudges: Automatically enroll employees in targeted training and restrict access to sensitive data when risky behaviors are detected.
• Redesigned DMARC Authentication: Enhance brand protection with an improved DMARC implementation experience.
• Dynamic Risk Scorecards: Every employee receives a personalized risk score, with adaptive security controls that respond in real time.
• Unified Human Risk Management: View exactly which employees are sharing sensitive data in GenAI applications and automatically adapt controls to mitigate risk.

At Mimecast, we don’t just keep pace with the future—we help define it. Discover how our AI-powered Human Risk Platform can help your organization turn risk into measurable resilience.
