How does Mimecast defense-in-depth architecture prevent email-based cyber attacks?

Mimecast defense-in-depth architecture layers multiple security technologies including anti-virus scanning, static file analysis, sandboxing, social graphing, and natural language processing to create comprehensive protection. Each layer examines different threat vectors, ensuring that sophisticated attacks cannot bypass all security controls simultaneously. The platform integrates with endpoint security tools, SIEM systems, and identity management platforms to correlate email threats with broader security events. Our cross-platform security approach extends this layered protection model across all communication channels and security tools.
