Employees introduce risk across email, chat and file-sharing platforms, where a single error can lead to an expensive breach. Mimecast’s Human Risk Management platform minimises this exposure by detecting risky behaviour and stopping threats across the communication channels organisations depend on daily.
Strengthen and secure your organisation by seamlessly aligning people and technology.
What Is Human Risk?
Human risk is the potential for employees, contractors or partners to unintentionally - or deliberately - expose the organisation to cyber threats, data loss or compliance violations.
It includes:
Phishing and social engineering attacks
Accidental data sharing or misdelivery
Credential compromise
Insider threats (malicious or negligent)
Policy violations and risky behaviours
Managing human risk requires visibility across behaviour, context and communication channels - not just email
Email & Collaboration Threat Protection
Email remains a primary attack vector - but it’s no longer the only one. Collaboration tools such as chat, file sharing and cloud apps have expanded the attack surface.
Mimecast protects users across:
Messaging and collaboration platforms
File-sharing environments
Cloud applications
Advanced threat detection, URL and attachment protection, impersonation defence and behavioural analysis stop sophisticated attacks before they reach employees - across every channel they rely on daily.

Mimecast helps you:
- Identify high-risk user behaviour
- Detect anomalous activity
- Prevent data exfiltration
- Enforce data protection policies
- Reduce exposure across email and collaboration tools
By combining behavioural insight with automated controls, you can reduce risk without slowing productivity.

The Human Risk Command Center
The Human Risk Command Center is the nerve centre of Mimecast’s Human Risk Management platform - giving security teams unprecedented visibility into risky behaviour and enabling proactive mitigation before incidents occur.
-
Unified human risk visibility: Centralise behavioural data from email security, training, data protection and third‑party tools into a single dashboard to identify patterns and emerging threats.
-
Dynamic risk scoring: Assign and continuously update risk scores based on real user behaviour - helping you prioritise where to act first.
-
Real‑time interventions: Trigger targeted, just‑in‑time guidance or controls when risky actions are detected, reducing exposure without disrupting workflows.
-
Actionable intelligence: Correlate data across platforms to detect complex risk signals - from phishing clicks to unsafe data handling - and respond with layered protections.
With the Human Risk Command Center, you can monitor, analyse and respond to human risk across your organisation in a way that’s proactive, contextualised and automated. It helps security leaders focus efforts where they matter most - reducing the likelihood of costly breaches and strengthening overall resilience.
