Mimecast, a global cybersecurity leader, has unveiled advanced AI capabilities across its portfolio at Elevate25, its user conference, to deliver robust defenses against AI-powered threats. These innovations, including the new Mihra AI agent for investigations, enhance the Human Risk Command Center, achieving up to 7x faster threat response times based on initial customer feedback. Drawing from Mimecast's 2025 Global Threat Intelligence Report, which notes phishing attacks now comprise 77% of incidents—up from 60% in 2024 due to AI scaling— these tools reframe human vulnerabilities into fortified resilience through AI, behavioral analytics, and automation.
Mimecast's 2025 Global Threat Intelligence Report highlights the explosive growth in AI-fueled phishing, with human elements now the primary attack vector. Elevate25 announcements position Mimecast's platform as a counterforce, using AI to predict and preempt threats customized to organizational behaviors. This proactive stance shifts security from reactive alerts to automated resilience, helping overwhelmed teams manage the deluge of sophisticated, scaled attacks.
These enhancements extend the recently launched Human Risk Command Center, a unified platform blending AI, automation, and user-friendly interfaces for modern cybersecurity needs. As Gartner predicts 50% of large enterprises will adopt human-centric designs by 2027, Mimecast prioritizes visibility, detection, and scalability. The center's intuitive experiences empower teams to mitigate risks efficiently, establishing benchmarks for human-focused protection.
Mimecast's AI framework operates across three pillars. Protection by AI leverages 18 billion daily security events from 42,000+ customers for predictive analytics, automatic controls, self-healing, and streamlined governance. Protection from AI identifies and blocks hyper-realistic, AI-crafted threats that evade legacy filters, including account compromises and multi-channel assaults on email and collaboration tools. Protection for AI provides GenAI usage visibility, detects shadow AI instances, and prevents sensitive data exposure, ensuring alignment with usage policies.
Central to the innovations, Mimecast Mihra AI (Intelligent Human Risk Agent) delivers agentic capabilities for protection, compliance, administration, and reporting. The Investigation Agent slashes response times up to 7x by automating complex probes, while the Spotlight Agent offers intuitive insights into collaboration data, speeding context gathering across vast datasets. These agents simplify workflows, enhancing efficiency in high-stakes environments.
Unlike fragmented email-only solutions, Mimecast's integrated console unifies email, collaboration, and GenAI security. Features include unified search across Microsoft 365, Slack, and Google Workspace; behavioral nudges for risky actions with targeted training; redesigned DMARC for brand protection; personalized risk scorecards with adaptive controls; and human risk management integrations for real-time sensitive data monitoring in GenAI.
"Security teams are drowning in alerts while employees unknowingly create new vulnerabilities through shadow AI," said Ranjan Singh, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Mimecast. "Our Mimecast AI agents turn hours of investigation into minutes, while simultaneously blocking employees from pasting confidential data into unauthorized GenAI tools. We're the only platform addressing both sides of the AI risk equation."
These Q4 2025 releases equip organizations to adapt at scale, fostering resilience against evolving threats while empowering human elements in cybersecurity.
