Information Security Management

Email security is critical to information security management

As organizations in every industry seek to improve information security management, the ability to protect email from a growing number of threats is critical to success.

While information security management involves establishing a wide number of controls to protect the availability, integrity and confidentiality of corporate assets, email security plays an outsized role in protecting organizations, their users and their data from threats. Email has become the primary target of cyber criminals, thanks to its central role in communications and its use by virtually every individual within an organization. As email-borne threats have evolved from simple viruses and spam to targeted attacks like ransomware, spear-phishing and impersonation fraud, successful information security management has become increasingly tied to successful email security.

For most organizations, the challenge in implementing information security management strategies is finding the right partner for threat response solutions to protect email. For tens of thousands of organizations worldwide, Mimecast has become the preferred source of solutions for cyber security defence of email systems.
