Hybrid work environments have extensively led to cyber-attacks because of the vulnerabilities present in the network posing new organizational security risks for both people and data. Since 2003, Mimecast is safeguarding email and business communications for the enterprise.
Hany George, Security Specialist for Mimecast Middle East says, “Every year at GITEX, we use this opportunity to introduce new technologies and innovations that we have at our platform to the market and connect with customers and partners. This year we are exhibiting our X1 platform, which is a massive upgrade to our backend platform. This platform is designed specifically to proactively tackle new attacks, analyse data and thereafter expose them to the admins and the organisations so that they can take actions preemptively.”
The Mimecast X1 Platform comprises of four core innovations designed to mitigate risk and manage complexities:
- Precision Detection: It is designed to apply the latest advancements in AI and Machine Learning. It enables intelligent detection of emerging and unknown threats, while the layered protection keeps users safe all the way down to the point of risk.
- Service Fabric: Mimecast X1 Service Fabric provides the foundation for cloud-delivered security by allowing customers to grow securely and seamlessly and uncover user insights that can accelerate detection and response.
- Data Analytics: X1 Data Analytics is built with one primary goal in mind: making information actionable for customers by providing the foundation for a wide array of services and capabilities – from the discovery and analysis of new threats and accelerated product innovation to rich context for threat researchers and support for cross-correlation of data with systems beyond email.
- Mimecast Extensible Security Hooks (MESH): MESH exposes a vast API ecosystem that supports fast, simplified integration of Mimecast with existing security investments. Hundreds of integrations to third party security solutions have been implemented, spanning SIEM, SOAR, EDR to TIP and XDR. The result is reduced complexity, lowered risk, and optimised security investments.
“We also focus on leveraging our integrations as we are exhibiting this year with Netskope to highlight the partnership of two vendors in delivering a better security posture and an integrated ecosystem for the organisations. Netskope’s security cloud and Mimecast’s email security collaboratively will protect the world against malicious attacks”, Hany added.
Mimecast to continue transforming email and collaboration security into the eyes and ears of organizations worldwide.
