Email Data Protection

Defending the organization with email data protection

Email data protection is essential for every organization, and especially for companies that manage the personally identifiable information of customers, patients and consumers. Not only does business email frequently contain sensitive information, but cyber criminals often use email attacks to gain access to computer systems and databases containing Social Security information, credit card numbers and other data that can be used to steal identities and commit fraud. Damages to organizations that fail to stop an email attack range from fines and legal action to loss of business and customer trust.

While the need for email data protection is clear, the methods for delivering it have traditionally been challenging. As threats grow in volume and become more sophisticated, organizations must also evolve their cyber security defense strategy and technology. While businesses could adopt a wide range of point solutions to stop individual threats like spear-phishing, ransomware and impersonation attacks, more organizations today are turning to Mimecast for a single, all-in-one solution that improves email data protection while minimizing the burden of managing it.
