So what does this threat detection look like in real time? Let's take a look at Mimecast's threat protection. In the following image, an employee has received an email containing a seemingly normal attachment. 

However, when they selected said attachment, Mimecast found that the linked site contained both malicious and spear-phishing content. The user received an automatic message, warning them of the potential threat. Not only did Mimecast keep the individual safe, this suite of tools protected their collaborators and organization at large.

Through Mimecast's warning, this user was able to avoid a potential cybersecurity incident. Looking for more ways to use Mimecast? See the following video:
