- Integrated protection: Security is unified across the organization and at every endpoint.
- Fully automated SOC: The team benefits from automation across its security operations center, rather than maintaining custom code.
- Full visibility, faster response: A small SOC team gains complete visibility, allowing them to quickly identify and respond to threats.
A global specialist bank and wealth management firm with 15,000 employees internationally relies on a small but experienced SOC team to defend against targeted and nontargeted attacks. Rather than build and maintain its own security code, a burden the team recognized early on, they turned to Mimecast's email security with Targeted Threat Protection and asked Mimecast to help build an API network addressing their weakest points. Mimecast integrated with partners including Splunk and Palo Alto Networks, giving the team layered protection at every endpoint, "like having three closed-caption televisions zeroed in on each endpoint," as the team member put it.
Through Mimecast's Security Ecosystem program, the team built a playbook to automate its security program step by step, moving from simple functions toward full automation with Mimecast and its API partners working in lockstep. The firm now secures its organization through this ecosystem and plans to open-source its own code for other Mimecast customers facing similar challenges. As the team member explains, "Teams need to have visibility across the entire security ecosystem and can't be siloed... Attackers don't care how we organize ourselves; they just look for weaknesses."
