CrowdStrike Next Gen SIEM

Bring together the data across endpoint and email domains

API 2.0 Compatible

Easily ingest Mimecast Email Security data into CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to gain comprehensive cross-domain visibility of threats throughout your attack surface. See Mimecast Email Security event data used to stop malware, spear-phishing and zero day attacks directly within the CrowdStrike Falcon platform alongside additional threat indicators from other domains to minimize context switching across multiple interfaces, allowing your team to speed up detection and triage, while improving accuracy. 

Solution Overview

1. Emails received by Mimecast are passed through a series of hygiene scanning techniques, to ensure that they are safe before delivery to the recipient.

2. Email intelligence provided by Mimecast is sent to CrowdStrike Next Gen SIEM for normalization.

3. CrowdStrike uses the email intelligence to alert analysts and add context to data from other data sources.

Mimecast + CrowdStrike Uses Cases:

• Phishing

  Phishing email is sent, the user clicks on the link and then Mimecast identified link as malicious and blocks user access. SIEM ingests email telemetry from Mimecast including URL logs. SIEM analyses phishing link for additional IOCs and identifies 10 matching emails. Analyst runs remediation process to remove the malicious email.

• Compromised Accounts

  SIEM triggers an alert based on suspicious user behavior. SIEM enriches indicators from the alert in Mimecast and web security, looking for URL events. Events relating to malicious URLs are found in Mimecast and web security. Analysts resets user credentials.

• Lateral Movement

  A user's laptop is connected to open Wi-Fi and infected with malware which phones home to a C&C server. The attacker uses it as a foothold to propagate malware via email. Mimecast identifies malware, blocks email and removes from user inboxes. SIEM correlates events from agents and email activity to gather a full timeline and TTPs of the incident. Analyst quarantines the laptop, creates firewall deny rule for the C&C server IP address.

Key Benefits

1. Faster cross-domain threat detection and alerting: Get unified visibility across email and endpoint threat vectors with Mimecast email threat indicators alongside indicators from other domains within Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. 
2. Detect targeted email threats: Leverage Mimecast Email Security's visibility and intelligence of email threats with your existing CrowdStrike security data to detect whether an email message is a potential security threat
3. Unify investigation in a single console: Save your analysts valuable time when investigating and triaging potential threats by minimizing context switching and accelerating threat detection through CrowdStrike's unified, threat-centric command console.
