AQUILA - Setup Integration from Mimecast

Mimecast Integration Guide

Integrate Mimecast with your security platform via API to collect email threat data, archive logs, DLP events, and other security-related logs for centralized visibility and incident response.

Credentials & API Access Setup (Mimecast)

Before configuring the integration, prepare your API credentials from the Mimecast Admin Console.

Steps:

  1. Log in to the Mimecast Administration Console.

  2. Navigate to Administration → Account → API Applications.

  3. Click “Register New Application” and provide a name and description.

  4. Once registered, take note of the following credentials:

    • Application ID

    • Application Key

    • Access Key

    • Secret Key

  5. You may need your Mimecast Region-specific API URL:

    • Example: https://api.mimecast.com

    • Check with your Mimecast representative for region-specific URLs.

Note: Some log types may require separate credentials due to rate limits.
