“Today’s attacks are combining methods such as social engineering and spear-phishing to infiltrate an organization’s network to steal critical data,” said Mark Basler, senior vice president of product management, Mimecast. “Relying solely on blacklist-based defense like anti-virus and anti-spam email protection won’t cut it anymore, as they’re incapable of preventing highly-targeted attacks. Mimecast is trusted by more than 21,800 customers across the globe who rely on our platform to strengthen their cyber resilience. The recognition from The Radicati Group as a Top Player in the Secure Email Gateway market is a testament to the services we deliver to customers daily.”

• Mimecast solutions are fully cloud-based providing automatic scalability, elasticity, and reliability while completely removing the customer’s need to manage software and hardware.
• Mimecast’s Security solution combines anti-spam, anti-virus, sandboxing, URL-protection/rewriting, data leak protection (DLP), secure messaging, large file send, and impersonation protection.
• Mimecast’s solution integrates with the customer’s Active Directory (AD) environment such that log-in is accomplished with the user's credentials and attributes about the user are used to determine access and security policy execution.
• Mimecast offers DLP capabilities based on Mimecast’s own technology which provide security and compliance for outbound emails. 
  

Mimecast’s single integrated solution can deliver email security, continuity, and archiving, which helps to thwart advanced attacks such as ransomware.

Real-time scanning and blocking of suspect websites and attachment sandboxing prevent employees from inadvertently downloading malware or revealing credentials and the detection of suspicious financial fraud emails. Additionally, dynamic user awareness capabilities reinforce email security policies and engage employees in assessing risks.
