Mimecast helps you prevent email-borne ransomware as you also protect email systems and users from downtime and data loss. Unlike vendors of standalone security or backup products, Mimecast’s cloud-based ransomware solution offers layered cyber resilience — unifying email data protection, business continuity, archiving and recovery through one platform and console.
Ransomware is a type of malicious software or malware that is intended to block users from accessing files and data on their computer until a ransom is paid to the cybercriminals who launched the attack.
If you get a ransomware email, take the following steps:
Do not click on any suspicious links. If you know or suspect malware has been downloaded to your computer, disconnect it and any other infected device from your network immediately.
Record the damages, demands, and any other relevant information sand file a report with the appropriate local authorities. Learn more about reporting ransomware.
Prevent future attacks with anti-ransomware protocol. This means implementing the right technology, such as Mimecast’s email security services, and empowering everyone in your organization to understand how to detect and avoid ransomware threats.
Most ransomware attacks enter via email, so you need best-in-class email security. Mimecast’s email ransomware protection relies on sophisticated, multi-layered detection engines to identify threats and halt them before they execute. With central control and unsurpassed API integration, you can act fast wherever ransomware emerges.
If a ransomware attack occurs, you need to keep your email services up and running so people stay productive throughout and after the attack. Mimecast’s cloud-based email continuity services kick in nearly instantaneously, restoring message flow without the cost or complexity of traditional solutions.
Ransomware gangs demand payment because they don’t believe you can restore crucial data without them. With Mimecast Cloud Archive’s Sync and Recover capability, you get very precise point-in-time recovery options for rapidly restoring uninfected files. That changes the equation — it yields a big-time jump in resiliency.

A refresher on the ransomware basics cybersecurity pros need to know.
Ransomware is often spread via phishing emails that trick recipients into opening a malicious attachment, clicking on a link that takes them to a malicious website, or revealing login credentials that cyber criminals can use to access your network and begin encrypting your files. This is why best-in-class email protection is central to ransomware prevention. Attackers may also exploit vulnerabilities in other software or systems to gain access to network resources and begin encrypting files. Strong integration and robust two-way API links with other security systems are essential to recognizing and responding to these attacks more rapidly, so you can root them out before they create extensive damage.
