Mimecast to showcase availability of Mimecast X1 Platform at GITEX 2022

Mimecast, an email and collaboration security company, will showcase the availability of the Mimecast X1 Platform at GITEX Technology Week 2022. 

The widespread adoption of hybrid work environments, combined with an increase in the use of digital-centric communication channels, has increased the attack surface, resulting in new organizational security risks for both people and data. The Mimecast X1 Platform is designed to leverage a rich source of intelligence to learn about people and how they collaborate by safeguarding email and business communications. These insights allow organizations to work safely by safeguarding their people, data, and communications.

Gartner predicts that by 2026, 50% of C-level executives will have risk-related performance requirements built into their employment contracts. The Mimecast X1 Platform is intended to reduce risk in email communications, the most common attack vector, and to assist organizations in securing their workplace environment wherever work occurs. It is the foundation of the Mimecast® Product Suite, which is designed to drive industry-leading detection capabilities, deliver reliability, resilience, and scale, and transform data into insights that transform email and collaboration security into the eyes and ears of organizations around the world.

The Mimecast X1 Platform encompasses four core innovations designed to mitigate risk and manage complexities:

• Mimecast X1™ Precision Detection: Mimecast X1 Precision Detection is designed to use the most recent advances in AI and Machine Learning to enable intelligent detection of emerging and unknown threat types, while layered protection keeps users safe right up to the point of risk. Mimecast’s inspection of 1.3 billion emails daily provides the industry’s most robust view of the email threat landscape, enabling instantaneous blocking of the vast majority of email-based threats.

• Mimecast X1™ Service Fabric: By allowing customers to grow securely and seamlessly and uncover user insights that can accelerate detection and response, the Mimecast X1 Service Fabric provides the foundation for cloud-delivered security at scale.

• Mimecast X1™ Data Analytics: 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 – X1 Data Analytics is built with one primary goal in mind: making information actionable for customers.

• 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.

Werno Gevers, cybersecurity expert at Mimecast, says: “GITEX offers companies a great opportunity to share new solutions with the market and connect with customers, partners and other likeminded organisations. For Mimecast, it’s also an opportunity to share our new vision of helping the world work protected and the importance of an integrated ecosystem. Since we’re sharing a stand with our partner Netskope, we looking forward to showcase how organisations can leverage Netskope’s security cloud and Mimecast’s email security to provide better protection and response against a broad range of malicious actors.”

Mimecast will be sharing a stand with API partner Netskope in Hall 1 – E2.
