What is Mimecast Security Awareness Training
Mimecast Security Awareness Training is a security awareness and phishing simulation platform used to train employees and measure susceptibility to social engineering. It supports security and IT teams with configurable phishing campaigns, training content assignments, and reporting for risk and compliance tracking. The product is typically deployed alongside email security controls and can integrate with identity and directory services for user targeting and automation. It focuses on reducing human-factor risk through ongoing education and simulated attack exercises rather than technical vulnerability scanning.
Phishing simulations and training
The platform combines simulated phishing campaigns with end-user training modules to reinforce learning after tests. Administrators can run recurring campaigns, vary templates, and assign follow-up training based on user behavior. This supports continuous improvement programs rather than one-time training events.
Centralized reporting and metrics
It provides dashboards and reports to track participation, phishing outcomes, and risk trends over time. Reporting helps security teams demonstrate program activity for internal governance and external audits. Metrics can be used to segment users and prioritize coaching for higher-risk groups.
Fits broader email security stack
Mimecast Security Awareness Training aligns with common email-security-led workflows where awareness, phishing testing, and policy reinforcement are managed together. It can leverage directory-based user management to simplify targeting and lifecycle changes. This is useful for organizations standardizing on a single vendor for multiple email-related security functions.
Not vulnerability management focused
Despite sometimes being grouped with vulnerability management, the product primarily addresses human risk and does not function as a technical vulnerability scanner. It does not replace tools that discover, prioritize, and remediate software or configuration vulnerabilities across endpoints, servers, and cloud assets. Organizations typically need separate tooling for technical vulnerability management workflows.
Content depth varies by need
Security awareness programs often require industry-specific or role-specific content, and some organizations may find they need supplemental materials. Teams with strict regulatory requirements may need to validate that available modules map to their internal policies and control frameworks. Custom content creation and localization needs can increase administrative effort.
Program tuning requires effort
Effective phishing simulation programs require careful template selection, frequency tuning, and exception handling to avoid user fatigue or false positives. Administrators may need time to calibrate difficulty levels and align campaigns with acceptable-use policies. Smaller teams may find ongoing campaign management and stakeholder coordination time-consuming.
