Mimecast launches AI-enabled solution to battle evasive email threats

CyberGraph creates an identity graph which is built to store information about relationships between all senders and recipients .
The graph is designed to detect anomalies and leverages Machine Learning technology to help organizations stay one step ahead of threat actors by alerting employees to potential cyberthreats .
Josh Douglas , VP , Product Management for Threat Intelligence , Mimecast , said : “ CyberGraph leverages our AI and Machine Learning technologies to help keep employees one step ahead with real-time warnings , directly at the point of risk . What makes this exciting is that we are embedding the technology for existing email security customers , they do not need to look for other vendors to fill the gap with technologies that only work to solve part of this challenge .” The workplace is always the top target of cybercriminals , but in the remote working era , the problem has intensified .

Mimecast has announced the Mimecast CyberGraph solution , a new add-on for Mimecast Secure Email Gateway ( SEG ) that is engineered to use Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) to help detect sophisticated phishing and impersonation attacks .

CyberGraph includes three key capabilities engineered to help prevent cyberthreats :
• Renders embedded trackers useless
• Uses machine learning to protect from targeted email threats
• Engages users with contextual , dynamic warning

This initiative will be implemented as part of the Post 5G Infrastructure Enhancement R & D Project under the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization ( NEDO ) of Japan .
Both companies are scheduled to build a verification environment using these technologies in their respective laboratories from August 2021 , then will begin interoperability testing .
Leveraging this verification environment offers the potential to significantly streamline interoperability verification between base station equipment from different vendors .
Through this initiative , Fujitsu , NEC and NEDO will accelerate the global reach of base station equipment that conforms to O-RAN specifications and contribute to stimulating growth and innovation in the open 5G market .
In the future , Fujitsu and NEC will collaborate with carriers , equipment vendors and governments in various countries and regions , aiming to significantly reduce the time required to conduct interoperability testing for base station equipment .
The companies will also work with NEDO to support the global adoption and development of equipment that conforms to O-RAN specifications through this project , thereby contributing to the stimulation and growth of the open 5G market .
