Key Points
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
