    Protect email data with Exchange Online archiving solutions

    While Microsoft Exchange Online provides native archiving tools, protecting email data from threats, corruption and data loss may require a more powerful solution for Exchange Online archiving.

    Email is indispensable to business communications. It's why employees want constant access to email from any location, and why cyber criminals most often target email when seeking to breach corporate security. While Microsoft provides flexible Exchange Online archiving tools, many organizations today are understandably reluctant to rely on a single vendor for an email platform as well as data archiving and cloud backup and recovery solutions. That's why more enterprises today turn to Mimecast Cloud Archive to manage their Exchange Online archiving needs.

    Mimecast Cloud Archive provides a single, secure archive for Exchange Online archiving as well as files and other content. For years, Mimecast has been the industry standard in enterprise information archiving, providing tools to keep corporate knowledge accessible and secure while simplifying management and administration.
