Financial Data Security

Improving financial data security in email.

Financial data security for information contained in email is a critical concern for financial services companies. Like most businesses, financial services organizations rely on email for communication between employees, customers, partners and vendors, and frequently these messages contain highly sensitive content and personally identifiable information (PII).

Because this information is so valuable, attackers frequently target email systems in financial services using email-borne threats like spear-phishing and impersonation. Consequently, financial data security and email retention is highly regulated, and financial services compliance with FINRA email retention or SEC email retention requirements, for example, is essential for avoiding steep fines and penalties.

Managing financial data security effectively and cost efficiently requires powerful security, archiving and eDiscovery tools that can thwart attacks, streamline retention management and minimize administrative burden for IT teams. That's where Mimecast can help.
