Mimecast Takes Top Honors in Two Categories at SC Awards Europe 2026

LEXINGTON, Mass. — Mimecast, a global leader in securing humans, data & AI, has been named a winner in two categories at SC Awards Europe 2026: Best Email Security Solution and Best Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) Solution. Winning two premier categories in one of the industry's most rigorous recognition programs is a testament to the innovation driving Mimecast's platform, and the trust customers place in it.

For more than 25 years, the SC Awards Europe have set the benchmark for excellence in the cybersecurity industry. Organized by SC Media and judged by a hand-picked, independent panel of senior practitioners, an SC Award reflects the unbiased assessment of the people organizations trust most to evaluate security products.

The threats facing organizations today arrive from every direction and touch every layer of the business. According to Mimecast's 2026 State of Human Risk Report, 53% of organizations report increased phishing volume, and 66% expect insider-related data loss to increase over the next 12 months. The risk is external and internal, and as AI adoption becomes more prevalent in the workforce, it is only growing. 

Most security tools were not built for this. They catch what they have seen before. Rules and policies describe yesterday's risk, not today's. And they were not built for a workforce where 8% of employees generate 80% of the risk to the data they create, access, and move. The SC Awards recognized Mimecast's response to both sides of that challenge.

Best Email Security Solution – Mimecast® Advanced Email Security protects the inbox across every threat type, at scale. With 1.5 billion emails inspected daily and a behavioral baseline built over 20-plus years, security teams have the depth and context to detect, investigate, and respond before threats reach the work. Over the past year, Mimecast has delivered significant advances across the platform: 

• Multi-Vector Threat Protection correlates signals across every threat context simultaneously, delivering 99.998% detection accuracy against coordinated attacks that evade single-point detection.
• API Deployment delivers the full protection stack through direct Microsoft 365 integration, removing the trade-off between deployment speed and detection depth.
• Advanced BEC Protection applies AI trained across billions of signals to detect impersonation and social engineering, stopping the attack type responsible for $3.05 billion in losses in 2025. (IC3 Annual Report)
• 350+ integrations with platforms including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Netskope, and Okta help ensure Mimecast fits the security stack organizations already have, eliminating silos and maximizing existing investments.

"Our customers are dealing with threats that don't stop... and our teams have spent this past year making sure our platform doesn't either,” said Mimecast Chief Product Officer Rob Juncker. “The judges are the CISOs and security leaders who deal with these threats every day; they know what good looks like. Their recognition tells us we're getting it right: better security, across every surface where data moves, for the organizations that depend on us."

Best Data Leakage Prevention Solution — Mimecast Incydr® technology gives security teams the visibility and control to stop data from leaving before damage is done. As shadow AI use multiplies across the enterprise, the risk of data leaving through unsanctioned tools and unauthorized workflows grows with them. Over the past year, Mimecast has extended the capabilities of the Incydr solution to meet that reality:

• Automatic risk scoring applies hundreds of risk indicators to any unsanctioned data movement across endpoint, cloud, and browser, prioritizing the events that matter without policy configuration, content classification, or manual triage.
• Shadow AI Detection identifies unsanctioned Generative AI use including pastes and uploads to tools automatically and allows customers to apply adaptive controls from education to blocking at scale.
• Unified Human and Agent Visibility delivers a single view of data loss risk across endpoints, cloud, browser, email, and AI driven workflows. 

The SC Awards Europe carry the judgment of the industry's most respected practitioners. Two wins in one year reflect the strength of what Mimecast has built, and confidence in the work ahead.
