How does Mimecast support incident response for email-related security incidents?

Mimecast supports incident response for email-related security incidents primarily by providing detailed threat intelligence reports. These reports offer insights into emerging threats and trends specific to email security, helping organizations understand the types of attacks they may face and the methods used by threat actors. By analyzing these reports, security teams can better assess their current security posture, prioritize incident response efforts, and implement measures to mitigate future risks.

The detailed threat intelligence provided by Mimecast aids in shaping proactive defenses, ensuring that organizations can respond quickly and effectively to any incidents that arise. Threat intelligence is a crucial component of effective incident response, as it enables teams to recognize patterns, identify vulnerabilities, and react accordingly.

While instant email backup solutions, secure email forwarding, and automated email archiving are valuable features within the Mimecast ecosystem, they do not specifically address the needs for incident response in the context of email-related security incidents. Backup solutions and archiving are focused on data retention, while secure forwarding pertains to email delivery methods, which are not directly related to the analysis and response to security threats.
