The value Mimecast delivers for companies was highlighted in the recent Total Economic Impact™ study conducted by Forrester Consulting. Based on Forrester’s interviews and financial analysis, a composite organization experienced benefits of $2.13 million over three years, with $1.53 million in net value and 255% ROI. The news was followed by the announcement that Mimecast was recognized as a strong performer in The Forrester Wave™: Human Risk Management Solutions, Q3 2024 report. 

Forging the future of HRM – the next generation of cybersecurity  

Early in its fiscal half, Mimecast unveiled its AI-powered, API-enabled Human Risk Management platform. In response to customer and market demand for a more effective way to mitigate risk brought on by employee mistakes and user errors, this new platform provides unprecedented visibility into an organization’s risk profile, scoring users by risk and allowing security teams to educate and protect the riskiest part of their employee base.   

A key pillar to the platform is the company’s new human risk awareness training offering, Mimecast Engage™, which is built to redefine how security leaders can manage human risk. Mimecast Engage, the result of the integration of Elevate Security technology acquired in December 2023 with Mimecast’s awareness training product, will soon be available to organizations across the globe.  

In an effort to bolster the platform and further protect customers from risks associated with human activity, Mimecast closed two industry-shaping acquisitions in Q2: Code42 and Aware.

“Our momentum over these six months is a testament to our commitment and progress toward charting the future of human risk management,” said Marc van Zadelhoff, Chief Executive Officer of Mimecast, “Our acquisitions and solution enhancements continue to elevate our platform and support our aim of helping businesses of all sizes manage and mitigate human risk. I am also incredibly proud to see the significant progress we’ve made in expanding our tech integrations and channel partners, recognizing the demands of a complex threat landscape and the importance of collaboration on a global level. As the attack surface grows and evolves, so too will Mimecast, remaining one step ahead for our customers.”
