Unified Threat Detection and User Risk Management
Mimecast’s Human Risk Platform integrates seamlessly with Cisco XDR to provide organizations with enhanced visibility into malware-related attacks and user behavior. Cisco XDR, a cloud-based extended detection and response platform, consolidates and correlates data from multiple security sources to deliver a unified view of threats. By leveraging this integration, Mimecast associates malware events detected by Cisco XDR with individual users, updating their risk scores in real time. This collaboration empowers organizations to proactively manage human risk, streamline incident response, and strengthen their overall cybersecurity posture.

Mimecast + Cisco XDR Use Cases
Enhanced Human Risk Scoring
Mimecast integrates with Cisco XDR to tie malware-related incidents directly to individual users, dynamically updating their risk scores. For example, if Cisco XDR detects a malware event on a user’s device, Mimecast updates the user’s profile, helping security teams identify and prioritize high-risk individuals.
Proactive Security Awareness Training
By correlating malware events with user behavior, Mimecast enables targeted training for employees based on their risk profiles. For instance, users who repeatedly interact with malicious files or links can be automatically enrolled in training programs to address risky behaviors.
Streamlined Incident Management
The integration automates the ingestion of incident data from Cisco XDR, associating it with users in Mimecast’s Human Risk Platform. This eliminates manual correlation, saving time and ensuring consistent reporting for security teams.
Real-Time Risk Mitigation
Mimecast and Cisco XDR provide real-time insights into user behavior, enabling immediate action to mitigate risks. For example, if a user’s device is flagged for multiple incidents, stricter access controls can be enforced to prevent further compromise.
Simplified Deployment
The integration is quick to deploy, requiring no historical data migration. Customers with a valid Cisco XDR license can configure the integration in minutes, with events syncing automatically from the point of integration onward.
