From Malware to Human Risk
By integrating Mimecast Engage with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, organizations obtain enhanced risk visibility by associating malware interactions with specific users to contribute to human behavior scores and attack factor metrics.
Solution overview
- Engage periodically obtains endpoint protection alerts and incidents from Defender.
- Each malware based event is associated with a user and updates the individual risk score.
- Users with high-risk scores can be sent behavioral nudges or additional training.
