Security analysts face a daunting challenge, investigating hundreds or thousands of DLP alerts each month. Sorting critical alerts, gathering context from scattered data, and deciding next steps can overwhelm even seasoned teams—especially with limited resources. It’s no surprise data protection is an increasing global concern.
Incydr introduces the Mihra (Mimecast Intelligent Human Risk Agent) Investigation Agent as part of its Spring 2026 Launch. This AI-powered solution streamlines insider risk investigations by automating tasks, enhancing context, and providing actionable recommendations within the Incydr interface. Paired with the MCP Server integration that allows customers to bring their own large language model (LLM) like Claude, CoPilot, or ChatGPT, together they offer security teams with flexibility in how they deploy agentic AI.
The Reality of DLP Investigations
Incydr allows you to see user-level DLP alerts, and the Mihra investigation agent can quickly summarize history and context for specific alerts
DLP investigations often involve significant complexity. Security teams are tasked with answering key questions:
- Which alerts should we prioritize? Not every alert represents a real risk, but manually sifting through them to discern high-priority, true-positive events can take hours.
- What’s the context behind this alert? Data protection events are rarely isolated; they often involve multiple events or data points that need to be analyzed together to uncover the complete picture.
- What actions should we take next? Even when an incident is identified, teams may struggle to determine the best course of action, especially when dealing with limited expertise or bandwidth.
These challenges can lead to inefficiencies, delays in responding to real threats, and missed opportunities to strengthen overall data protection programs.
How Mihra Investigation Agent Transforms Data Protection
The Mihra Investigation automates investigations, saving time and improving accuracy for security teams
The Mihra Investigation Agent for Incydr is a game-changer for security teams. Powered by advanced LLMs and designed in-house by Mimecast specialists for the Incydr platform, it’s specifically designed to address the challenges of DLP investigations. More than just a tool, it acts as an intelligent assistant, helping analysts prioritize, enrich, and resolve alerts with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
Prioritizing What Matters
Security teams often struggle with alert triage due to overwhelming volumes of notifications, making it easy to miss high-risk events. The Mihra Investigation Agent automates alert analysis, highlighting those needing immediate attention while safely closing benign alerts. This saves analysts time and ensures focus on critical risks.
Providing Context at a Glance
Investigating alerts can be time-consuming, requiring analysts to gather and connect data from multiple sources. Mihra simplifies this by offering contextual summaries directly in the Incydr interface. For example, if sensitive files are shared without authorization, Mihra provides details like who accessed the file, how it was shared, and whether the behavior is unusual—helping analysts make quick, informed decisions.
Actionable Recommendations
Beyond triage and summaries, Mihra recommends next steps for resolving incidents. For instance, if an employee uploads files to an unapproved cloud service, Mihra might suggest blocking the activity, discussing it with the employee, or updating trust settings to prevent future issues.
Delivering Real Value to Security Teams
The Mihra Investigation Agent delivers measurable benefits that directly impact the effectiveness of data protection programs:
- Operational Efficiency: By automating alert triage and providing enriched insights, Mihra eliminates the need for manual processes, saving time and reducing the workload for analysts.
- Enhanced Accuracy: Mihra integrates data from multiple analyses, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of DLP events.
- Improved Security Outcomes: With actionable recommendations, teams can resolve incidents more effectively and implement long-term improvements to their data protection strategies.
