Zscaler + Mimecast
Unified protection for sensitive data and business communications, combining Zscaler’s Advanced Data Protection with Mimecast’s Email Security platform
Why Zscaler + Mimecast
Security teams often manage email security, web security, and SaaS security controls in separate workflows—creating blind spots which attackers can exploit and forcing analysts to correlate signals after the fact. Together, Zscaler and Mimecast connect email threat intelligence to access enforcement across web and cloud apps, so organizations can block or isolate risky destinations, reduce repeat exposure, and respond more consistently across channels.
Overview and Benefits
Coordinated protection across email, web, SaaS
Email threats don’t end in the inbox—they continue when users click links, authenticate, and interact with cloud apps. Zscaler and Mimecast partner to share email-derived threat intelligence and enforce protection policies, so security teams can contain threats faster, reduce blind spots, and operate with less complexity.
Minimize the attack surface across channels
Share email-derived threat intelligence to help stop malicious links and destinations when users click from email into the browser or cloud apps.
Reduce risk from data exposure
Align protection intent across email and web/SaaS to reduce channel gaps and apply consistent controls for sensitive data.
Improve security operations efficiency
Enrich detections with identity and destination context and drive consistent containment actions across tools and teams.
Protection made simple
The Mimecast and Zscaler advantage for email and web security
Details
Together, Zscaler and Mimecast help solve:
01
Detection without enterprise-wide enforcement
Email security may detect phishing, but web/SaaS controls often don’t automatically receive the same indicators—so users can still click through to malicious destinations before enforcement catches up.
02
Inconsistent data protection across channels
Data protection policies are frequently applied differently across email, browsers, and cloud apps, creating inconsistent controls and gaps where sensitive data can be shared or uploaded through the “least protected” channel.
03
Siloed signals slowing investigations and containment
SecOps teams investigate email, web, and SaaS activity in separate consoles and timelines, slowing triage and making it difficult to reconstruct the full attack chain, scope impact, and apply consistent containment actions.
