    Overview

    Prevent a mail attack with Mimecast

    While the threat of an email attack has never been greater, preventing a mail attack and minimizing its damage has never been easier than with Mimecast Email Security.

    Hackers target email for one very simple reason: it's the technology most widely used by employees who can be easily duped and inattentive when it comes to security. Every time the business world adopts a new technology to thwart a mail attack, cyber criminals develop new ways to get around security measures. From phishing and spear-phishing attacks to a whaling email or impersonation attack, the latest mail attack methods can cost a company millions in lost revenue, legal fees and lost business opportunity.

    To prevent a mail attack, organizations often adopt a variety of point solutions, each one designed to add another layer of security for email and the data it contains. But the cost and staff resources required to implement, manage and update this mix of diverse technologies can be huge – which is why more companies today choose the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of Mimecast's all-in-one email security service.
