How Mimecast Solved Your Biggest Security Challenges in 2025
Your security team faced harder problems in 2025. Phishing attacks jumped to 77% of all threats. AI-powered attacks now perfectly replicate your internal communications. Your users adopted GenAI tools faster than you could assess the risk. And every investigation burned hours your team didn't have.
This year, we focused on solving these problems—not just announcing features.
When minutes matter, you need investigation speed. Security teams using our new Mihra Investigation Agent report threat response times up to 7x faster. Instead of manually correlating data across systems, AI surfaces the context you need through a natural interface. The Spotlight Agent does the same for compliance teams working through collaboration data—turning hours of searching into minutes of insight.
AI-generated threats demand AI-powered defense. We deployed detection models trained on 18 billion daily security events to catch attacks that mimic your writing style, spoof your executives, and evade traditional filters. URL Pre-Delivery Scans now stop malicious links before they enter inboxes—not just at click time. Account Takeover Protection identifies compromise attempts across email and collaboration platforms before attackers move laterally.
Shadow AI doesn't have to be your blind spot. Our Unified Human Risk Management platform now shows you exactly which employees are sharing sensitive data in ChatGPT, Claude, or other GenAI tools—and automatically adjusts their access controls. Unified Search across Microsoft 365, Slack, and Google Workspace means one query finds policy violations wherever they happen.
Your people strengthen your perimeter. When someone clicks a suspicious link, Behavioral Nudges now automatically enroll them in targeted training and temporarily restrict sensitive data access. Every employee gets a Risk Scorecard that adapts security controls based on their actual behavior, not just their role.
These capabilities are live in your environment. The question isn't whether Mimecast can solve these problems—it's whether you're using everything you already have. Contact your Customer Success Manager to audit what's enabled and activate the protections your team needs most.
Most cybersecurity vendors perform well in one category. Very few are gaining ground where email risk, collaboration risk, insider risk, and data protection converge.
That convergence is Human Risk Management—and it's where CISOs are moving.
Mimecast is one of only two vendors appearing across Forrester's HRM Wave, Gartner's DCGAS MQ, and Gartner's Email Security MQ. We're the only one improving year-over-year in all of them.
This isn't about winning one quadrant. It's about sustained momentum across the markets that are converging into unified Human Risk platforms. We're not just tracking that shift—we're actively shaping it with Forrester, Gartner and customers.
After 20+ years in this space, we're not coasting. We're accelerating into where the market is going.
