Mimecast joins IBM security app
exchange community

imecast Limited, a leading email
and data security company,
has launched Mimecast for IBM
QRadar, which integrates email security data
into IBM’s security intelligence technology.
The new Mimecast for IBM QRadar app is
designed to offer joint customers improved
visibility into potential vulnerabilities and
on-going attacks occurring via email,
enabling prioritised incident response
through one single console and an increased
security posture.
Christina Van Houten, Chief
Strategy Officer, Mimecast
The threat landscape is constantly evolving,
yet email continues to be one of the top
attack vectors. Cyberthreats are becoming
stealthier and sophisticated, and are
designed to evade detection.
The Mimecast for IBM QRadar app is
designed to offer organisations better
detection and deeper insights before, during
and after an attack. Integrating Mimecast
data into the QRadar system through the
Mimecast data logging API is engineered to
allow email security data to be correlated
against other data sources and be included
in behavioural anomaly detection helping to
identify indicators of advanced threats that
would otherwise go unnoticed.
The Mimecast for IBM QRadar app is
designed to integrate with the IBM
QRadar Security Intelligence Platform,
helping security teams accurately detect,
understand and prioritise threats that
matter most to the business.
Leveraging Mimecast’s new open
application programming interface (API),
the Mimecast for IBM QRadar app is
engineered to allow Mimecast and IBM
customers to better predict and prioritise
what threats to remediate by providing
greater visibility into potential incidents.

Related events are grouped together and
tracked as the threat progresses through
the kill chain, helping enable security teams
to gain prioritised alerts based on severity.
These alerts help security teams to respond
faster and with more certainty, which
helps contain and limit the impact of an
attack. Additionally, joint customers can
benefit from an increased security posture
by leveraging one single system for threat
intelligence and response, which now can
include Mimecast security intelligence.
“Attack methods are quickly evolving and
growing more advanced, targeted and
dangerous. Organisations are seeking out
solutions to augment a defence strategy,
but at the same time are challenged with
siloed security products which offer little-
to-no visibility, which makes it increasingly
difficult to ensure they are identifying
incoming threats and prioritising
investigations,” said Christina Van
Houten, Chief Strategy Officer, Mimecast.
“Mimecast’s integration with IBM QRadar
technology gives joint customers the
visibility they need to help speed up the
incident response process by cutting
down the ‘noise’ with prioritised in-depth
forensic analysis, all through one central
security console.”
As threats are evolving faster than ever,
collaborative development among the
security community will help organisations
adapt quickly and speed innovation in the
fight against cybercrime. The new application
is freely available through IBM Security App
Exchange, a marketplace where developers
across the industry can share applications
based on IBM Security technologies.
The app is also available on the IBM
X-Force Exchange. n
