What role does user feedback play in Mimecast's threat detection?

User feedback plays a critical role in enhancing the accuracy of threat detection algorithms within Mimecast's system. When users can report suspicious emails or phishing attempts, this information feeds back into the threat detection process. With this feedback, Mimecast can analyze various data points from reported incidents to identify patterns or trends that may not have been apparent through automated analytics alone. This iterative process allows the algorithms to learn and adapt over time, refining their ability to detect emerging threats and reducing false positives.

Incorporating user feedback into threat detection not only bolsters the existing algorithms but also ensures that the system evolves in response to real-world threats as experienced by actual users, leading to a more robust and secure email environment. This aspect of user input is vital in a landscape where cyber threats are continuously changing and becoming more sophisticated.
