Mimecast unveils new integration with IBM Security

Email and data security company Mimecast Limited, has announced a new integration with IBM Security Resilient solution, which Mimecast, through a pre-built API addon, integrates email security data into the IBM Resilient Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) capabilities.

IBM Resilient technology is a SOAR platform for orchestrating and automating incident response processes.

“Organisations rely on their SIEM or other logging service to provide actionable threat intelligence to help better identify and prioritise which incidents need to be addressed,” said Christina Van Houten, chief strategy officer, Mimecast.

Van Houten added that SOAR platforms take an organisation’s cyber resilience strategy to the next level by triggering a remediation process to address incoming threats or other incidents happening in their environment.

“Information and automation are the keys to combating sophisticated email attacks, especially as cyber attackers continue to evolve their tactics and techniques,” she said. “Mimecast’s integration with IBM Security Resilient technology allows our joint customers to capitalise further on their current investments, so they can have a clear and automated plan for remediation, all in one easy-to-read dashboard.”

In conjunction with Mimecast’s already popular integration with IBM Security QRadar SIEM, this integration is designed to offer joint customers the ability to enhance their security posture by making their security alerts instantly actionable, through intelligence and incident context, and enabling adaptive response to advanced threats.
