Cloud-based email services offer full protection combined with high-availability and reliability
You can’t treat security as a set of isolated point systems. That’s true of your business information in general and of your email architecture specifically. Protecting information is one side of the coin; making it available and accessible is the other and if you do both right you can improve productivity as well as avoid risk.
The cloud isn’t just the most effective place to secure email, before any threats or intruders ever reach your network; it’s also the most efficient. Cloud-based email services can offer full protection with the promise of availability and reliability too.
Executive Summary
Securing your email is a complex process that takes time and uses resources that can be better deployed elsewhere in your business. Moving on-premise email security into the cloud not only saves time and money, but also reduces risk and takes advantages of economies of scale to deliver an effective, dedicated security platform that unshackles users and releases the potential of your mail.
A cloud email platform needs to have four key features:
- Confidentiality
- Integrity
- Availability
- Control
That’s what you get from Mimecast’s security services, without having to patch and update a mixture platform, with anti-malware, anti-spam, zero-day protection, and policy enforcement. At the same time, there’s a complete audit trail and secure encrypted storage on the Mimecast® storage grid. It's just what you need to secure your email systems, and at the same time reduce costs and complexity.
