Whether your organization is using a cloud provider, running servers on-premise or in a hybrid environment, the risks of email don't change. Email defenses must secure the organization and employees against malicious links, attachments and payload-less attacks. And employees need to keep working despite server downtime or cloud service outages.
Mimecast extends traditional gateway security to defend against malicious links in email, weaponized attachments and malware-less social-engineering attacks, often called whaling - the three most common attack methods. Real-time scanning and blocking of suspect websites and attachment sandboxing prevent employees from inadvertently downloading malware or revealing credentials. Spoofed emails requesting financial transactions or sensitive information such as employee tax documents are also blocked. Dynamic user awareness improves frontline security with capabilities to reinforce security policies and engage employees in assessing risks. Outbound traffic is monitored in real-time with granular and flexible email content and secure communication policies enabling responsive data leak prevention (DLP) and content control.
Mimecast steps in to deliver email to end users during planned and unplanned outages of on-premise corporate email service or a cloud provider like Office 365. Managed from a single web console, administrators remain in control during a downtime event while maintaining all inbound and outbound security policies. Mimecast goes beyond just spooling email with an Outlook plug-in that gives users uninterrupted access to live and historical email as well as calendar and contacts, to ensure employees keep working during downtime events. Web and mobile applications mean downtime doesn't impact them whether they are in the office or remote.
