Mimecast acquires human risk expert Elevate Security

Mimecast has enhanced its human risk management capabilities by acquiring Elevate Security.

This strategic move aims to strengthen Mimecast's offerings, providing deeper insights into human-related risks and enhancing digital workplace protection. 

David Raissipour, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Mimecast, said: “People are historically the largest vulnerability in an organisation but can also be the strongest line of defense if given the right tools and education. That’s our goal with this acquisition and core to our work – manage risk by understanding human behavior in the context of a complex environment and then acting on it.”

Robert Fly, CEO and Co-Founder Elevate Security, added: “We have no doubt that our combined strengths will help break new ground that changes the security conversation.”

The integration of Elevate Security's technology into Mimecast's products is underway, with new features expected to roll out in the upcoming quarters.
