Mimecast Email Security Cloud Gateway is a cloud-based secure email gateway that uses AI-powered detection to defend against email attacks while integrating with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The gateway acts as a firewall for email, deployed in the cloud, and reroutes inbound and outbound email via proxy through its own agent, which then performs comprehensive scans of the email. As a cloud-based secure email gateway, it provides multi-layered inspection capabilities powered by traditional defenses, threat intelligence, and advanced AI, inspecting every element of an email in real-time to stop threats before they reach inboxes. Uses dynamic threat intelligence feeds to determine malicious emails, including blacklisted URLs, flagged keywords, and other suspicious qualities. Employs Natural Language Processing for text extraction and threat modeling to analyze contextual clues and identify payloadless threats. Features anomaly detection with social graphing to detect unusual patterns and behaviors against social engineering attacks. The gateway protects against spam, viruses, malware, denial of service attacks, phishing, and business email compromise. It provides targeted threat protection that scans every email, attachment and URL to defend against impersonation fraud, ransomware, whaling, phishing and spear-phishing attacks. Messages are routed from organizations to Mimecast for outbound delivery, with MX records pointed to Mimecast for inbound delivery. The solution offers customizable policies, granular controls, and integrates with existing security stacks while providing automated remediation capabilities.
