We verify that Mimecast can detect the latest email-borne threats amidst a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Through threat research and customer feedback we identify where Mimecast can be improved and update detection at our spam, URL, and attachment security layers. We strive for proactive, rather than reactive, approaches to threat detection.

• Working with security vendors around threat detection techniques and remediation
• Identifying opportunities for improved processes and systems
