Exabeam and Mimecast Integrated Security Guide

This guide details the integration of Exabeam and Mimecast, focusing on enhancing email security against cyber threats. It outlines how cyberattacks often exploit compromised credentials, particularly through email, which is a primary attack vector. The document explains the capabilities gained by organizations through this integration, including improved threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR). It emphasizes the importance of combining email security data with other security logs to create a comprehensive view of potential threats. The guide also discusses the limitations of traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools and how the integration addresses these issues. By utilizing advanced user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and contextualized timelines, security teams can better identify and respond to threats, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches and operational disruptions. The document serves as a resource for organizations looking to enhance their security posture through effective email threat management.
