Activating agentic protection with Mimecast

A practical guide to discovering, attributing, and governing AI tools, MCP connections, and agents with one data-protection program.

Key Points

See every AI tool, connection, and agent. Get a live inventory of desktop AI apps, browser destinations, and MCP server connections, each classified as Sanctioned, Unsanctioned, or Undecided, with discovery running on the endpoint agent and browser extension you already use.
Tie every agent and alert to the person behind it. Link each agent, tool, and connection to the human who deployed it, and rank people and departments by unsanctioned AI footprint, so non-human activity always has an owner.
Govern in real time, then mature with confidence. Use the AI Rulebook to allow, scope, block, or monitor by department or individual, reversible in a click, and follow a four-level path from visibility to agentic readiness that’s aligned to leading standards.

Every AI agent is created by a person, runs on that person’s credentials, and acts on their behalf. That means agentic risk isn’t a new category. It’s human risk with a new actor attached, and you can’t secure one without the other. Activating Agentic Protection shows security leaders and practitioners how to turn that insight into a program they can run this quarter using Agent Risk Center. Built on the Mimecast Data Protection deployment you already have, it walks through a three-step workflow (discover, attribute, govern), a four-level rollout plan, and the NIST, ISO, NCSC/CISA, and OWASP guidance that backs the approach. No new deployment, no new console, no new team.
