Don’t get locked in to Proofpoint

Proofpoint’s walled garden approach and tuning-heavy tools means you spend more time setting up policies than managing risk. Mimecast’s Incydr platform offers an open approach, with more integrations, faster time-to-value, and a focus on taking action.

Comprehensive risk

Detection Incydr detects data exfiltration and risky insider behavior from day one across email, cloud, and collaboration tools — no policy setup, no blind spots, and no tuning required.

Smarter correction

Incydr provides a wide range of adaptive controls from education to blocking to balance security with productivity – offering more flexibility that fits how users work.

Automate your way

Mimecast Incydr offers the choice of it’s dedicated Mihra AI agents or lets customers BYO LLM AI agents with Mihra MCP Gateway – speeding workflows and offering flexibility not available with Proofpoint.

Deployment flexibility

MX gateway, API, or both — same detection engine regardless of how you deploy. Proofpoint's MX and API run on different acquired technologies. Mimecast gives you one platform, freedom of choice.

All-in-one
value

Mimecast offers one platform for threat protection, archiving, DLP, compliance and insider risk to simplify security and operations.

Power of the platform

350+ native integrations with CrowdStrike, Microsoft, Netskope, Splunk, and SIEM/SOAR tools to see and manage human risk — not a walled garden approach of Proofpoint.

See the difference

Mimecast delivers native, integrated human risk management where Proofpoint relies on acquired, fragmented point solutions.

Fast insider risk management (Incydr) — no policy setup, day one value
Wide range of adaptive controls from education to blocking
30+ integrations — open & interconnected ecosystem mindset
Email protection via MX, API, or both — same engine, consistent detection
350+ security integrations — open API, bi-directional threat sharing

ObserveIT IRM — Manual policy setup required
Limited set of adaptive controls, especially for education
Less then 10 ITM integrations — designed to encourage further Proofpoint investment
SEG (MX) or API-only — different detection stacks for each
Limited integrations

How does Mimecast's insider risk management compare to Proofpoint's?

Proofpoint's insider risk story is built on a policy-first approach that requires manual setup and significant admin overhead and tuning before delivering value. Mimecast Incydr is purpose-built: no policies required, detected events prioritised from day one, and a wide range of adaptive controls from education to blocking that can be deployed for high-risk scenarios. A more open platform offers flexibility with 30+ native integrations vs Proofpoint ITM's <10.

How disruptive is switching from Proofpoint to Mimecast email security?

Less than you think. Deploy Mimecast API-based behind Proofpoint in hours —no MX changes, no disruption. Run side-by-side for 30–60 days. When you’re ready to switch we make it seamless.

Is Proofpoint's Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) really that much better?

TAP is capable, but advanced detection doesn't guarantee better outcomes. Mimecast's multi-layered detection covers sandboxing, deep URL inspection, and behavioural AI. Available via MX, API, or both — same engine, same protection. Run a 30-day side-by-side using your own data and let the results decide.

We just renewed Proofpoint IRM. Is it worth exploring Mimecast Incydr now?

Yes, now is the right time to prove the value of better visibility and easier long-term management. Deploy Incydr alongside your existing Proofpoint setup today, and start seeing insider risk you’re missing within just a few days of a 30-day Incydr POV. Build a business case to make the switch.

Does Mimecast work alongside our existing security stack?

Yes — Mimecast is built for open, interconnected security ecosystems. 350+ integrations with CrowdStrike, Microsoft, Netskope, Splunk, and SIEM/SOAR tools. Incydr adds 30+ purpose-built integrations with an interconnected mindset that eliminates data silos. Proofpoint's ITM has 12 integrations designed to keep you inside their ecosystem.
