MimecastHow Mimecast Runs Detection Engineering on Infrastructure Monitoring
Mimecast, an information technology organization in the United Kingdom, uses Infrastructure Monitoring from Datadog to support detection engineering for detection engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Handoffs in detection engineering sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Fewer stalled items because security telemetry has a clear owner |
| Capability | New joiners can see how detection engineering actually runs |
Story
Mimecast is based in the United Kingdom and runs information technology operations at a scale where security telemetry cannot live in side channels. Detection engineers were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed detection engineering and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs detection engineering on Datadog, with Infrastructure Monitoring as the product detection engineers actually open. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. For Mimecast, that means detection engineers can open one workflow, see security telemetry, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for security telemetry.
