Web Threats & Shadow IT

Justin was panicking. A huge deal was on the line, but his attempts to send the final 25-page contract to the client kept getting blocked. Then he remembered a Dropbox promotion sent to his personal email. He set up an account, uploaded the contract, and sent the link to his client. The deal was done.

Three weeks later, however, he couldn’t find any of his files. IT eventually discovered his credentials had been stolen when he entered his corporate credentials to create a Dropbox account on a spoofed website. All his new client’s information was now exposed, along with details from all his other accounts.

How Mimecast can help…

• Web security that blocks malicious websites, like the fake Dropbox site
• Productivity tools that support easily and securely sending large files without leaving Outlook
• The ability to apply additional security controls, like DLP, no print/forward, and optional passwords on files
