Mimecast Awareness Training

Mimecast Awareness Training is an engaging, video-based security awareness and human risk management platform designed to transform employees from cybersecurity vulnerabilities into active defenders. Departing from tedious, text-heavy compliance modules, Mimecast utilizes humor-driven, professional mini-episodes (featuring characters like Human Error) that capture employee attention and deliver memorable lessons on phishing, password security, social engineering, and safe data handling. The platform combines these micro-learning modules with automated phishing simulation campaigns that test employee reactions against realistic, real-world phishing emails, brand impersonations, and credential-harvesting lures. Mimecast analyzes employee engagement and simulation responses to generate an objective Human Risk Score (HRS) for every user, allowing security teams to identify high-risk employees and automatically deliver targeted, remedial training. Comprehensive reporting dashboards give CISOs clear metrics to track security culture improvements, demonstrate compliance with industry standards like HIPAA and PCI DSS, and benchmark human cyber risk against industry peers. Mimecast Awareness Training effectively reduces employee-induced security incidents, fosters continuous cyber awareness, and strengthens enterprise defense against social engineering attacks.
