Increase email security with a SaaS-based unified email management system

Email security is a critical part of business success. Email has become a mainstay of business communications, documenting a wide range of interactions that include contracts, negotiations, purchase orders, and business commitments. Effective email security must not only protect against potential threats such as viruses, but also deliver business continuity by providing continuous access to current and historical email. Email security should minimize or eliminate spam to improve productivity and maintain system performance. It must protect against data leaks that may expose sensitive information such as trade secrets or private customer data. And an effective email security policy must ensure that email can be produced when needed for eDiscovery or as proof of regulatory compliance.

To achieve this kind of broad email security, many companies have adopted a stack of email technologies at considerable expense. Mimecast delivers email security in an affordable SaaS-based unified email management system.

Enhance security, achieve continuity, and prevent email data leaks

Mimecast addresses many areas of email security including:

• Email virus protection. To combat email borne viruses, Mimecast introduces real-time countermeasures to deal with known and unknown threats (at OSI layers three through seven), applying a variety of security tests to each phase of the physical IP and SMTP conversation. As a result, Mimecast has a 100 percent success rate in stopping email viruses.
• Spam filtering. Mimecast's Exchange server spam filter not only stops more than 99.5 percent of spam, but does so without degradation of system performance. Mimecast's unique "on-the-wire" approach tests messages as they are being received, rather than waiting until they have been fully received.
• Email monitoring. Mimecast's content control policies and email scanning technology can detect data within emails and attachments that may indicate a leak of secure or sensitive data.
• Email archive compliance. Mimecast creates a secure offsite email archive by automatically archiving all inbound, outbound, and internal email. Mimecast's Exchange archive solution stores up to 10 years of email without requiring additional hardware or software, and it allows users to search the archive from their desktop. And Mimecast produces a full audit trail on every search and access of retained email.
