What method is used to send data to populate an Internal Directory?

The method used to send data to populate an Internal Directory is the Directory Connector. This tool is essential for integrating various directory services and synchronizing user data into Mimecast's systems. By utilizing the Directory Connector, organizations can automate the flow of user information from existing directories, such as Active Directory or LDAP, directly into Mimecast’s platform. This not only streamlines the process of maintaining updated user information but also ensures that email security policies are applied uniformly across all users within the organization.

The importance of the Directory Connector lies in its ability to keep the directory up-to-date without requiring manual intervention, thus reducing errors and administrative overhead. This capability supports organizations in managing their user base effectively and allows for seamless integration with existing identity management processes.
