Robust email antivirus protection from a SaaS-based solution

Email is one of the most important applications for any business today, and email antivirus protection must be a top priority. Many antivirus solutions are available but most are inadequate against the constantly evolving nature of the threat. LAN-based email antivirus solutions have significant shortcomings-performance degradation, prohibitive administrative burden, business disruption from false positives, and undesirable single points-of-failure within the email delivery path. Managed service antivirus solutions also come up short, removing visibility and control from the organization while also creating unacceptable slowdowns in the delivery of legitimate email messages.

For organizations seeking effective email antivirus technology, Mimecast delivers a solution with a 100 percent record of success and a unified approach to email management.
