Advanced Threat Protection

What is Advanced Threat Protection?

Advanced Threat Protection is a comprehensive, cloud-based enterprise-grade protection solution to guard email systems from a range of cyberattacks such as spam, viruses, and malware. As cyber threats constantly evolve it's crucial for organizations of all sizes to implement and layer on advanced threat protection solutions. 

Importance of Advanced Threat Protection

Given the rising threat of ransomware and other sophisticated threats to business resiliency and data integrity, and specifically the vulnerabilities of email systems, advanced threat protection is vitally important to reduce the cost and complexity of securing email. By ensuring your organization has cutting edge solutions for advanced threat protection, risk of cyber breaches, data leaks and crippling downtime can be heavily mitigated.

How Advanced Threat Protection works?

Advanced Threat Protection works by providing a cloud-based solution with a single pane of glass to manage email security, archiving, and continuity. By using a modern secure email gateway, cyber threats can be blocked before they reach your employee's inboxes. By further coupling a secure email gateway with a powerful email archiving solution and email continuity solution, you can ensure members of your organization can always access their email and data.

Today's sophisticated attacks require Advanced Threat Protection

As cyber attacks grow more sophisticated by the day, you need advanced threat protection solutions to defend your organization from advanced persistent threats, ransomware, malicious email attachments, an insider threat and other cyber risks.

Most threats today originate in an email. In fact, 91% of hacking attacks start with a phishing or spear-phishing email. To truly protect your data, your employees and your organization, your advanced threat protection solution must begin by defending your email system.

That's where Mimecast can help. With comprehensive enterprise-grade advanced threat protection for email, we can help your organization guard against the most sophisticated attacks as well as traditional threats like spam, viruses and malware.
