Mimecast launches API
developer portal for business
and cyber resilience
/////////////////////////////
M
imecast Limited, a leading email
and data security company,
has announced the launch of
an Application Programming Interface
(API) developer portal designed to extend
business and cyber resilience for email with
a consistent, scalable and uniform API. The
portal is a dedicated site for developers to
easily access sample code, documentation
and pre-built integration packs.
APIs unlock valuable data and give
organisations unprecedented flexibility in
using Mimecast services. As cloud adoption
continues to increase exponentially,
companies need to break data silos and
integrate solutions into existing processes.
The Mimecast API already processes millions
of requests per day and is a key enabler for
many Mimecast services and applications.
Now customers and partners can visit the
portal to use the same API to take advantage
of Mimecast security and archive data,
integrate to existing applications and harness
important email risk management services.
The API developer portal offers quick and
easy access to a robust API which makes it
possible to integrate any complementary
solution and expose an extensive range
of integration options across multiple use
cases, including:
• Security insights – access enhanced
logging to programmatically download
gateway and security log file data,
track email messages and interact with
security policies
• Access archived data – rapidly search
the Mimecast archive and access
content. Query individual mailboxes or all
mailboxes in the organisation using role-
based administrator permissions
• Configure and manage – automate
common configuration tasks such as user
and group management, adding new
internal email domains, updating block
lists and more
• Provision customers – as a Mimecast
registered Managed Service Provider
(MSP) and Partner, automate customer
account provisioning and streamline
ongoing customer account management
Mimecast customers and partners have
built over 50 integrations into a variety
of solutions across security, including
information event management
(SIEM) and security orchestration and
automation; Archive, advanced eDiscovery
and visualisation; SaaS applications
like Salesforce.com and provisioning
applications. Pre-built integrations already
available include Demisto and LogRhythm
for streamlining security processes, and
ConnectWise for MSP enablement.
“We’re excited to unveil the API developer
portal leveraging the power and extensibility
of the Mime│OS platform,” said Mark
Basler, Senior Vice President of Product
Management, Mimecast.
“The API enables Mimecast to extend
our core cyber resilience functionality to
customers and partners, enabling them to
integrate Mimecast services into existing and
new applications.” n
