Mimecast partners with Zscaler to enhance cyber threat protection

Mimecast has announced a strategic partnership with Zscaler to bolster security measures against multi-vector cyber threats. This collaboration focuses on improving real-time intelligence sharing between Mimecast’s email security platform and Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange platform, addressing emerging risks associated with collaboration tools.

Integration Details

Under this integration, Mimecast will send alerts directly to Zscaler’s platform when a threat is detected, enabling immediate blocking across various channels such as Teams and Slack. This operational enhancement allows security teams to streamline their efforts, focusing on core responsibilities without managing disparate policies.

Data Protection and Collaboration

The partnership also aims to ensure consistent data protection through Zscaler's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities, which effectively scan and manage sensitive content across email and collaboration platforms. Such enhancements seek to provide joint customers with improved threat sharing mechanisms and a proactive stance on cybersecurity.

Event Appearance

Mimecast plans to demonstrate this integration at Zenith Live '25 in Las Vegas, offering attendees insights into its functionality and the management of human risk.
