Let me ask you this: how important is social engineering in #cybersecurity? How often is a failure in #infosec due to social engineering?

What I do is a type of social engineering.

Of course, ethics are VERY important to me.

If they weren’t I would be elsewhere…making a lot more money.

But sales, copywriting, marketing in general. It’s all social engineering.

You know the power of social engineering me.

Hire me (#GetFediHired ) to write your copy and socially engineer your success.

Did you know that starting with Graylog 6.2.3, you can pull logs directly from Mimecast using API v2.0 — and view them immediately with built-in Illuminate Dashboards? 👀 📊 🙀 Why yes... you can! 👍 👏

Doing this streamlines investigations, enhances visibility, enables cross-log correlation, and reduces time spent capturing critical information. So, are you wondering now if you should go ahead an integrate #Graylog with #Mimecast? 🤔

Well, there are definite benefits to doing so, like:
✔️ Centralizing email security insights alongside endpoint, firewall, and identity logs
✔️ A reduction of pivoting between tools and improvement in incident response speed
✔️ The ability to leverage ready-made dashboards and content to cut through the noise

Read on to learn more about the prerequisites for a Mimecast setup, as well as the Illuminate Technology Pack, Illuminate Dashboards, how all of this helps analysts, and more.
