Security News > 2020 > July > Mimecast acquires MessageControl

Mimecast has acquired eTorch, a messaging security provider with solutions designed to help stop social engineering and human identity attacks with the use of machine learning technology.

The acquisition of MessageControl strengthens Mimecast's Email Security 3.0 strategy that is designed to improve cybersecurity at the email perimeter, inside the organization and beyond the perimeter.

The combination of Mimecast and MessageControl is engineered to provide customers using productivity apps, such as Microsoft 365, even stronger protection against advanced phishing and impersonation attacks.

MessageControl empowers employees to help make better choices by providing them with more intelligent, contextual, and dynamic warnings of potentially untrusted senders or content into emails.

"MessageControl is a natural complement to Mimecast's suite of cyber resilience solutions - from email and web security through brand protection, security awareness training, and data protection. Its artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities will offer additional layers of defense by evolving and 'learning' the customer environment and user behaviors over time. We believe this acquisition allows Mimecast to continue to evolve our Email Security 3.0 strategy and provide the best protection for productivity cloud applications like Microsoft 365.".
