How does mimecast awareness training integrate with existing systems?

Product Analyst

Integration typically depends on your existing systems and their compatibility. Mimecast Awareness Training works with various IT management platforms, but the actual experience varies based on what you use. If you already use Mimecast's broader cybersecurity products, you'll have a more consistent experience within that ecosystem. The training platform is browser-based, so it works over the web without needing substantial on-premise installations. This allows easy access from anywhere and simplifies onboarding new users. Integration usually involves configuring settings through APIs or linking user directories—straightforward if your systems support these methods. If you have a Single Sign-On (SSO) system, Mimecast Awareness Training can often link directly to it, simplifying login for users. If you use custom software or platforms that don't connect via standard integration methods, additional technical setup may be required. Discuss your current systems with Mimecast's support team to assess compatibility. They can provide specific guidance on what to expect and how to optimize integration. This training works well for companies prioritizing cybersecurity training, especially those also using Mimecast's email security solutions. Smaller organizations or those less reliant on comprehensive security training may not get full value from integration features. Trade-offs include implementation time for integration, potential additional configuration costs, and whether your current systems justify a comprehensive training solution. Contact Mimecast to discuss your specific setup and get a tailored recommendation.
