Mimecast announced the launch of Mimecast® Protection for Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive. Building on the success of last year’s Mimecast® Protection for Microsoft Teams, these expanded offerings allow Mimecast customers to Work Protected® across the modern work surface.
Despite email security remaining a primary target for threat actors, Mimecast’s upcoming research report “State of Email and Collaboration Security 2024” reveals that 70% of IT and cybersecurity professionals see collaboration tools as presenting urgent new threats to their organizations. Mimecast’s enhanced collaboration security solutions aim to address this concern by effectively safeguarding employees across all communication platforms.
“As businesses continue adjusting to the world of hybrid work, critical platforms like the SharePoint and OneDrive tools are not only driving new opportunities for collaboration, but they’re also creating new threat vectors for bad actors,” said David Mitchell, VP of Product Management. “At Mimecast, we recognize that the shifting cyber landscape is creating an expanded attack surface, and our new collaboration security products extend our best-in-class email protection to these increasingly targeted and often vulnerable tools.”
With features like near real-time scanning of new files and continuous scanning of recently edited files, Mimecast solutions help prevent dangerous content from entering IT environments and defend against zero-day threats.
Mimecast Collaboration Security provides comprehensive protection for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint with a single, easy-to-manage offering.
