Datadog

Integrate with Datadog

API 2.0 Compatible

By integrating Mimecast with Datadog, organizations gain search and correlation capabilities across all log types to detect and respond to cyberattacks and defend against growing threats while modernizing and scaling security operations through integrated visibility, detection, investigation, and response.

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

Mimecast + Datadog use cases

• Threat Correlation

  Identify initial attack deployment methodology, characteristics, and subsequent access attempts without the need for manual effort or multiple toolsets.

• Advanced Threat Detection

  Improve your organization’s security posture and detect threats by augmenting email perimeter defense with user and entity behavior analytics.

• Lateral Movement Detection

  Detect and follow attackers even as they switch IP addresses, devices, or credentials.

• Alert Prioritization

  Increase efficiency and effectiveness by prioritizing the most pressing threats.

• Threat Intelligence

  Understand how your organization has been targeted and what attacks have been blocked for better protection at the email perimeter, inside the network and beyond its perimeter.

• Threat Investigation

  Analyze activity events before and after an attack across the entire attack chain to enhance analyst productivity and repair vulnerabilities.

Key benefits

1. Earlier detection and containment of attacks, with rapid response to phishing and business email compromise tactics.
2. Datadog analytics and threat intelligence enrichment detects threats within Mimecast events.
3. Increase protection, reduce resource utilization, and improve analysis and knowledge of threats through built in dashboards and Mimecast regional threat intelligence.
4. Correlation across Mimecast events, cloud, endpoint, and network data to quickly identify high-risk individuals and devices that may create future security breaches.
