The challenge

Despite the multitude of solutions available to protect your business, security remains complex, time-consuming, and sometimes ineffective. That’s because we’re missing a crucial piece of the puzzle – the user themselves. Most security problems are caused by a small number of users. And regardless of the security products you rely on, preventing attacks and breaches is still a challenge.

This is because most security awareness and training offerings take a one-size-fits-all approach. Threat actors have developed their attack tactics so much over the years that they now often target individuals in a very specific way. Today, it is more important than ever that we can protect the company from insider risks. And what connects the two? The person in the middle.

The Solution

The Mimecast Human Risk Management platform offers a comprehensive solution to identify and mitigate risks arising from human behavior at an early stage. It ensures that employees are made aware of security risks and receive targeted training. Individually tailored training and practical scenarios increase security awareness, thereby preventing data leaks and other security breaches. The platform also takes into account which employees have access to sensitive information and whether corresponding restrictions are required.

A central component of the security strategy is the increased visibility and control offered by Mimecast’s Human Risk Management platform. It helps to secure communication and collaboration platforms, protect critical data and actively involve employees in risk management. This promotes a security culture that is in line with corporate goals such as business continuity and increased productivity.

Emails remain a preferred attack vector for cybercriminals aiming to compromise organizations. The consequences of these attacks are far-reaching: email outages, financial losses, data breaches, identity theft and significant reputational damage. A common entry point for these threats? The human element.




Imagine being optimally protected against IT security risks, even in the face of human error. Mimecast offers precisely this solution: a cyber resilience strategy that enables organizations to operate securely and productively at all times and from any location.

Mimecast’s AI-powered, API-enabled and connected human risk management platform integrates modern, user-friendly technology with risk detection strategies, adding a crucial factor to your organization’s security strategy – protection against internal risk. The platform proactively minimizes human vulnerabilities by enhancing employee awareness of cyber risks, providing personalized training, and analyzing behavioral patterns. This approach allows potential threats to be identified and mitigated early.

Mimecast also safeguards organizations from insider threats. Employees who unauthorizedly exfiltrate or intentionally compromise data pose a significant risk. With the appropriate tools, organizations gain the necessary visibility and control to detect suspicious activities promptly and respond immediately.
