I have been using Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection  for five years.

My main use case for Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection  is to trace phishing emails, block users, and create policies when necessary. We use Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection to manage our mail flow.

In a specific example of how I traced a phishing email using Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, we have a sender address, and through that address, we enter it to see how many users received those emails. We check records including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, along with the sender's IP address. If we find the IP address indicates that the sender is suspicious, we block the sender address to prevent future emails.

All aspects of my main use case with Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection function properly.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection offers several best features, including being a very user-friendly tool where we can easily create policies, add or remove users, and block sender addresses or links, making it very useful for email protection.

Integration is also easy with Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, as we can easily implement this in our Outlook client to scan emails and protect our environment from phishing threats.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection has positively impacted my organization because we are using it in its full version. We receive notifications and reports if we encounter any issues. When users report emails, we can check whether they are legitimate or blocked and advise them not to accept suspicious emails, making it very useful for data protection.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection can be improved by enhancing policies and rules.

One improvement I would suggest is to create a dashboard where we can view all data, such as how many emails we receive and how many get blocked, rather than having to go through subfolders. A dashboard would allow us to easily check everything on one screen.

I have been working in my current field for nine years.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's customer support was good overall, but sometimes we did not receive timely responses, needing to wait two to three days for updates.

We did not use a different solution before Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection. We started with the default Microsoft setup and then implemented Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection.

I recommend considering Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, as it is a very useful and user-friendly tool to protect our Exchange environment.

I can share specific outcomes where we have noticed a reduction in phishing incidents. Many times, we receive phishing emails in our environment. If emails reach user mailboxes, users can report any suspicious emails they encounter. When they report, we get the notification, and as admins, we scan those emails and check all relevant details.

I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

I have been using Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection  for around two years for data protection and risk management. It is used for email security protection against phishing attacks, malware, ransomware, and data leakage to protect the organization's email security.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection  filters malicious emails, protects attachments and URLs, maintains email continuity during outages, and archives email for compliance. It protects from malicious URLs, credential theft, phishing websites, and newly created malicious URLs while preventing harmful attachments. The solution scans attachments before delivery and detects ransomware, trojans, and zero-day malware. Additionally, it protects from impersonation attempts; if someone impersonates a business email, it stops CEO fraud and business email compromise. It effectively prevents sensitive information from leaving the organization.

The best features Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection offers are URL protection, attachment management, impersonation attempts protection, and blocking senders. As I work in email security, URL protection and blocking senders are the most valuable features, and we use them day-to-day in our business.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection stops phishing by combining SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation with anti-spam, impersonation protection, URL protection, attachment sandboxing, and machine learning-based threat protection to identify and block phishing attempts.

I track messages, release quarantined emails, manage policies, and investigate phishing incidents through Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection, which protects our organization positively.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection already provides data loss prevention through content examination and email encryption; however, the insider risk management and data protection could be enhanced by adding more intelligent, behavior-based detection and integration with enterprise security tools.

I wish for better integration with SIEM  and XDR , specifically improved integration with platforms such as Splunk, Microsoft Defender, and Sentinel .

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is already providing strong email security and data loss prevention capabilities, but the insider risk management could be enhanced by adding advanced user behavior and analytics, including AI-based risk scoring and more context-aware data loss prevention policies. Deeper integration with SIEM  and XDR  platforms would improve visibility across the security system, and with better data classification and adaptive security policies, it would help reduce false positives and prevent sensitive data from leaving the organization.

I have been working in the cybersecurity domain for almost four years.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is stable for our organization.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is delivered as a cloud-native SaaS architecture, so customers do not need to buy or maintain email security servers. As the organization grows, Mimecast scales its cloud resources to handle increased demand, providing easy user expansion and high email processing capacity.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection provides technical support to help customers deploy, manage, and troubleshoot its email security services. Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection provides enterprise technical support through its support portal, phone, email, and an extensive knowledge base, so their support team assists with mail flow issues, email delivery, and policy management threat protection as well. Since it is a SaaS platform, software updates and security enhancements are managed by Mimecast, and I highly recommend Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection for email security.

I did not previously use a different solution before Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection.

The main benefit is time saved; I am not sure about money saved, but it is definitely time saved.

Our client has chosen Proofpoint over Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection because they are highly recommended to the Proofpoint solution rather than Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection is using artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve email security by analyzing and identifying threats; for example, a new phishing email pretending to be from Microsoft 365 may be blocked because AI identified suspicious language and sender characteristics.

It can help detect phishing, business email compromise, spam, malicious URLs, and suspicious attachments by analyzing email content.

In the future, AI could further enhance Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection through advanced user behavior analytics and AI-assisted incident investigations. I provide this review with a rating of 8 out of 10.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection  serves as a risk management solution that monitors user activity signals across M365 services including email, SharePoint , OneDrive, Teams, and endpoint activity.

On a daily basis, I use Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection  to monitor new risk threats, high severity cases, user flags, and level scores by checking the risk management dashboard. Currently, there are no primary use cases within my organization beyond this monitoring function.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection offers behavior correlation as one of its best features, which provides risk-based user profiling and rule-based triggers.

This functionality helps my team because it compiles signals from emails, Teams, SharePoint , and OneDrive endpoints more quickly. The solution connects multiple actions over time and builds a comprehensive risk picture of each user.

Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection has positively impacted my organization by enabling investigation of risk behavior and user behavior, reducing potential data leakages, improving awareness of sensitive data handling across users, strengthening compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements, and streamlining incident investigation through centralized case management. Overall, it has enhanced my organization's ability to proactively identify insider threats while minimizing manual effort for the security and compliance team.

Improvements could be made through AI-based risk explanations to provide better guidance on necessary enhancements to the platform.

I cannot provide specific metrics regarding the reduction of manual effort. Regarding Mimecast Insider Risk Management and Data Protection's AI capabilities, its governance capabilities are not as deep or unified as purpose-built insider risk platforms such as Microsoft Purview .

I have observed false positives because the solution is rule-based. My review rating for this solution is 9.
