The State of Email Security Report
Actionable steps to improve your organization’s email security and cyber resilience.
Actionable steps to improve your organization’s email security and cyber resilience.
Even with a robust email security perimeter in place, attackers can try to bypass it and operate inside your email network. When you analyze the anatomy of most successful cyberattacks, nearly all of them have one thing in common. Some user, somewhere, did something that could have been avoided. In fact, research shows that human error is involved in 90%+ of all security breaches. If your employees aren’t ready for a cyberattack, the unfortunate truth is that your organization isn’t either.

Knowledge is power. When it comes to your employees, increasing knowledge is one of the most effective ways to reduce your cybersecurity risk. Mimecast Awareness Training addresses serious topics in a seriously funny way to engage your employees and change behavior.
Effective doesn’t have to mean boring. Boring security training does not drive results. Instead, it causes your employees to switch off. According to learning science, learning must be both persistent and non-intrusive for lasting, meaningful behavioral change.
That’s why Mimecast decided to take a different approach. Employees don’t just “like” our training videos – they love them. They print T-shirts based on our characters. And most importantly, they internalize critical cybersecurity concepts that help keep your organization safe.

Working with top CISOs and using insight from the Mimecast grid, we focus on the most relevant security awareness training topics for cyber risk management today. Our modules use fun to evade employees’ psychological defenses against security awareness training and we go beyond facts, showing people why they need to care.
From ransomware and phishing to unattended laptops and CEO fraud, the threats are many and they are real. There are plenty of bad actors ready to take advantage of your employees’ mistakes. And even when mistakes are not being engineered and leveraged by malicious outsiders, poor cyber habits can lead to difficult and costly situations for you and your team. Mimecast Awareness Training helps you mitigate cyber risk stemming from the simple mistakes your employees are making every day.
Mimecast Awareness Training has built a large and growing library of training modules focused on your top human-error related security risks, covering issues from social engineering to GDPR.
“I've been involved with enterprise security awareness for decades, and have barely found anything as compelling and fun as the content from Mimecast Awareness Training. Their video approach is an amazing way to move culture, and I suspect CISOs will really like their emphasis on risk analytics as well.”
Dr. Edward G. Amoroso, CEO, TAG Cyber LLC, Former SVP and CSO, AT&T
Schedule a DemoMost CISOs know the limits of typical phishing training and test solutions. They can be difficult to operate and next to impossible to customize for your company's needs. And, most critically, they are often disconnected from the rest of your security program. It's no wonder phishing training and testing solutions often don't work as well as they should.
We knew phishing training could be made better. So - we made it better. And, because Mimecast is an email security company, we are able to field some of the most realistic phishing simulations imaginable. See how easy and effective phish testing with Mimecast can be. Or talk to a member of our team to learn what the future of phish testing will look like.
