USE CASE
Mimecast Account Takeover unifies prevention, real-time detection, and rapid response - so you can see and stop account takeovers before they stop your business.
THE PROBLEM
99% of organizations face account takeover attempts. Without integrated prevention,
detection, and remediation,
a single breach causes disruption, lost revenue, broken
customer trust, and operational paralysis.
Compromised accounts stop invoices, support, and critical workflows across email and collaboration tools.
Separate email, identity, and point solutions miss patterns only a unified view can expose.
Black-box AI floods analysts with false positives while low-and-slow takeovers blend in.
OUR SOLUTION
Mimecast delivers real-time detection of compromised accounts, reducing attacker dwell time and business risk. By monitoring behavior across email, collaboration, and identity systems, Mimecast spots threats early and guides your team through fast, effective response. Seamless integration and automatic enablement provide enterprise-grade protection that keeps your business secure.
OUR SOLUTION
Mimecast gives security teams unified visibility across inbound, outbound, and internal traffic to expose account takeovers earlier.
Mimecast combines secure email gateway and API-level detection to catch threats before and after delivery across key channels.
Mimecast links ATO detections with training, coaching, and awareness to reduce risky behavior and strengthen human defenses.
Mimecast simplifies deployment, tuning, and investigations so security teams of any size manage ATO protection from one console.
Account takeover is a business continuity risk because a single compromised account can bring your everyday business processes to a screeching halt and permanently damage customer trust. Mimecast prevents that disruption by combining ATO controls with always-on email continuity so your business operations keep running during an attack.
Mimecast stops account takeovers before and after malicious emails are delivered by blocking known and emerging threats at the email perimeter and then using API-based behavioral monitoring, anomaly detection, and automated remediation to identify compromised accounts, contain lateral movement, and remove dangerous messages.
Mimecast’s protection goes beyond MFA and spam filters by using AI-driven behavioral analytics, URL scanning, and domain authentication. The system identifies impersonation, credential misuse, and hidden anomalies that other tools miss, stopping account takeovers before attackers gain control.
Mimecast differs from other account takeover vendors by providing an all-in-one, cloud-native email security platform rather than a single-point solution. This unified approach delivers stronger protection because it connects detection, prevention, and response across every email and user interaction, reducing blind spots and catching threats single-purpose tools often miss.
Mimecast is more effective than API-only or point solutions for account takeover protection because Mimecast unifies pre-delivery filtering, post-delivery detection, archiving, continuity, investigation, and security training in one platform that closes coverage gaps, reduces tool sprawl, and simplifies operations for lean security teams.
Mimecast gives security teams more control over account takeover protection policies by letting administrators define granular controls by user, group, and risk level, tune detection sensitivity, and apply conditional actions with full visibility into decisions instead of relying on rigid, opaque, API-only safeguards.
Mimecast helps regulated organizations investigate and prove account takeover incidents to auditors by combining detailed event logging, compliance-grade archiving, immutable audit trails, and rich e-discovery tools that reconstruct attack timelines, show which messages and accounts were affected, and document policy enforcement.
Block advanced BEC threats and protect communications from one integrated, AI-powered platform.
Improve protection with at-time-of-click threat analysis, combined with AI to stop threats before they turn into incidents.
