Coordinated, Automated and Efficient Incident Response
By integrating Mimecast and FortiSOAR, organizations gain search and correlation capabilities to detect and respond to cyberattacks from a central location — no needless pivoting between consoles. FortiSoar combines infrastructure orchestration, playbook automation, case management and integrated threat intelligence to streamline processes and tools.
Key Benefits
- Automate email security processes, shorten decision making cycle, and drive resource efficiency through automation.
- Enrich intelligence from Mimecast and other security tools for coordinated response.
- Achieve full orchestration capabilities using proactive playbooks and workflows.
Solution Overview
1. As inbound emails are received by Mimecast on behalf of the organization, they are subject to analysis by the Mimecast inspection funnel, where a series of email hygiene and advanced security scanning techniques are applied, to ensure that emails are safe before they are delivered to the recipient.
2. Email related data from Mimecast ingested into the FortiSoar platform to help with analyst investigations.
3. Coordinate response actions across security tools based on Mimecast data.
4. Adjust Mimecast policies, search and destroy malicious emails, or prevent future threats.
