USE CASE
Phishing attackers deceive employees into giving up credentials or financial data. Mimecast’s phishing protection solution analyzes email behavior and stops threats before accounts are compromised.
THE PROBLEM
The volume and sophistication of obfuscation techniques makes it hard for technologies to accurately identify phishing links.
Attackers are continuously evolving their methods, now often using GenAI to craft better emails and extend their reach.
Users are constantly context switching, easily falling for phishing scams when they are distracted or in a hurry.
OUR SOLUTION
Mimecast Advanced Email Security provides pre-delivery scanning and at-click threat analysis to block phishing attacks, protect sensitive data, prevent financial fraud, and reduce disruption caused by compromised credentials. This email security solution strengthens communication protection across your entire organization.
WHY MIMECAST
Mimecast protects organizations from malicious links and websites by analyzing threats before a click and after a click.
Mimecast checks safety indicators and QR codes to block suspicious links before users interact with them.
Mimecast follows redirects, scans pages, and detects credential theft or multi-stage phishing using computer vision and machine learning.
Mimecast uses browser isolation and download sandboxing to prevent phishing attacks and reduce security incidents by applying extra scrutiny to high-risk sites and downloads.
Phishing protection is working when suspicious emails are filtered, access to malicious links is blocked at-click, and you notice fewer users reporting emails with unexpected credential prompts. A good solution provides clear reporting that shows detected threats, blocked impersonation attempts, and patterns that indicate overall risk levels are decreasing.
Phishing attacks can bypass basic filters because many tools only scan messages at delivery. Modern attacks use redirects, QR codes, and AI-generated content that activate later or hide intent. Multi-stage detection, behavioral analysis, and URL scanning at-click help close these gaps.
Phishing protection focuses on blocking malicious links, attachments, and credential-harvesting pages. Business email compromise protection focuses on identity signals, impersonation detection, and anomalous communication behavior. Organizations need both because phishing attacks target users’ actions, while BEC attacks target trust and identity.
You can reduce risky clicks by filtering suspicious emails before they reach inboxes, using both pre-delivery and at-click URL scanning, and providing lightweight security awareness prompts. These protections let your employees work quickly while reducing their cognitive load and the chance of missing subtle warning signs.
Reset affected passwords, review recent login activity, and check for unusual account behavior. Notify IT or security teams quickly. Advanced tools can analyze the clicked URL, determine whether credential theft occurred, and help contain any attempted compromise.
Block advanced BEC threats and protect communications from one integrated, AI-powered platform.
Stop brand impersonation, get complete visibility, and deter fraud that steals your good name.
