    Key Points

    • A new integration: Mimecast’s Human Risk Management (HRM) platform now ingests third-party detections and incidents from CrowdStrike endpoint securityenhancing user risk profiles and providing customers with comprehensive risk visibility across their environments.
    • Ease of use: Mimecast Engage customers can now enable the CrowdStrike endpoint security integration directly in the Mimecast console.
    • Setting the standard: Mimecast is leading the way in human risk management, with this integration marking the first of many planned integrations to roll out over the coming months and quarters.

    A Mission to Mitigate Human Risk

    Mimecast is on a mission to help customers mitigate risks stemming from one of every organization’s most valuable assets: its people. In July 2024, we announced the connected HRM platform, designed to prevent the evolving and sophisticated threats targeting human error within organizations. 

    Innovation happens at the intersection of collaboration, data, and people—but it’s also where risk emerges. Mimecast’s HRM platform addresses this challenge by securing the tools your employees use every day and building a detailed picture of organizational risk.

    By focusing on user actions, the attacks they face, and the access they have, Mimecast creates individualized risk profiles. These profiles provide much-needed visibility into organizational risk while enabling security teams to take actionable steps, such as assigning targeted awareness training or updating policies to mitigate risks.

    Today’s News: Connecting the Dots Across Your Security Landscape 

    Mimecast’s robust network of over 300 integrations with industry-leading cybersecurity solutions empowers customers to simplify security operations, get unified insights, and build layered defenses against today’s emerging risks.

    Now, we’re proud to take the next step in our journey. By expanding human risk visibility to include detections and alerts from CrowdStrike endpoint security, we’re making human risk management more connected than ever. 

    This integration ingests real-time telemetry from CrowdStrike endpoint security into Mimecast’s human risk dashboard and Mimecast Engage. With this, organizations gain richer insights into risky behaviors that could compromise security, enabling them to take more effective, informed actions. 

    Quantifying Human Risk: The Value of Malware Telemetry

    The Mimecast platform already offers:

    • Protection against the latest email and collaboration threats
    • Insider risk detection 
    • Simplified governance and compliance management, and 
    • Human risk awareness training. 

    While the platform ingests data across Mimecast’s ecosystem, we recognize that organizations depend on multiple cybersecurity solutions to secure their estates. 

    Endpoint security, especially from industry leaders like CrowdStrike, protects the devices users interact with daily. Intelligence from these solutions, such as malware detections, helps Mimecast complete each user’s risk profile. 

    This integration with CrowdStrike endpoint security brings connected human risk management to life, delivering unified, actionable insights across tools and platforms for the first time.   

    How Customers Can Begin Taking Action 

    With Mimecast Engage, visibility into human risk—and the ability to act on it—is easier than ever. Mimecast customers can look forward to the launch of the human risk dashboard in the coming months. 

    For Engage customers, enabling the CrowdStrike endpoint security integration is a simple process: 

    • Generate API keys in the Falcon console.
    • Use those API keys to configure the integration in the Mimecast Integrations Hub. 
    • Start ingesting endpoint alerts and incidents via CrowdStrike's API. 

    The setup is quick, straightforward, and designed for efficiency, making advanced human risk management accessible without disruption.

    More Connected, More Secure

    Mimecast is setting the standard for human risk management and is committed to delivering additional capabilities in the months ahead. This integration is just the beginning, with plans for further integrations across the cybersecurity ecosystem. 

    Explore how this integration—and other Mimecast platform capabilities—can help your business thrive in an era of ever-evolving threats.
