Email security provider Mimecast Ltd. said today it has acquired eTorch Inc., the owners of MessageControl, a messaging security provider that offers solutions to stop social engineering and human activity attacks, for an undisclosed price.

Founded in 2015, MessageControl uses artificial intelligence to stop identity attacks. The company’s offering inspects email attributes and content and then applies machine learning to build a library of known and unknown patterns for individual users.
MessageControl’s service also can prevent misaddressed email leaks.

For Mimecast, the acquisition will provide customers using productivity apps such as Microsoft 365 with strong protection against advanced phishing and impersonation attacks.

“MessageControl is a natural complement to Mimecast’s suite of cyber-resilience solutions,” Mimecast Chief Executive Officer Peter Bauer said in a statement. “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.”
Prior to acquisition, MessageControl had raised $4 million in venture capital funding, according to Pitchbook.
