Cyber resilience for IT firms
The speed of the information technology industry makes it highly susceptible to cybersecurity challenges. Take the complexity out of protecting your organization and focus on running your business.
Overview
Challenges
Challenges facing the information technology industry
The information technology industry is continuously changing. New software SaaS delivery models have caused IT firms to control sensitive data of customers and are drawing increased attention from attackers. This includes ransomware, spear-phishing and impersonation attacks designed to steal personal data or initiate fraudulent wire transfers.
IT firms are often growing quickly – making employees more likely to fall victim to well-crafted attacks. And with a mix of full-time and contract employees, it is even more difficult to spot email threats. If there is an incident, IT organizations need to keep vital communication channels open and maintain productivity to ensure IT resilience.
Solutions
The Mimecast Solution
Mimecast provides the information technology industry with protection at, inside, and beyond the perimeter in a single cloud platform. With advanced email security, Mimecast keeps ransomware and other threats like spear-phishing from damaging and spreading throughout your organization. Correctly implementing DMARC combined with proactive threat hunting protects your organization's domain and brand. Email continuity keeps your employees sending and receiving email, even in the event of a disruption of the primary mail server. And, with an independent archive and fast recovery tools, important data can be restored and found quickly if necessary.

Ransomware Protection
Stop ransomware attacks
Ransomware attacks on an IT organization or the delivery of a SaaS solution can easily impact thousands of customers. Mimecast can help before, during and after a ransomware attack.
Mailbox Continuity
A sound continuity strategy
Even the most secure, well-planned email systems go down. With Mimecast immediate failover means email flow is not interrupted in the event of a mail server outage or planned maintenance. Mimecast keeps sending and receiving email, and gives employees access via Outlook, web, mobile and Mac when cloud, on-premises or hybrid email systems go down.
Cyber Resilience For Email
Spear phishing and targeted threats
Email remains the most common entry point for attacks. Most gateway solutions stop spam and viruses, but fail to address spear-phishing, ransomware and targeted threats –the biggest challenges facing information technology organizations.
Email Archiving
Email archiving
Reduce the cost and complexity of data growth while meeting demands for retention, search and e-discovery. With Mimecast Sync and Recover, restoring email, personal folders, calendar and contacts has never been easier.
GDPR Compliance
Supports new regulatory compliance
Rules such as the Data Protection Act and European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are challenging to implement as organizations determine the best way to institute controls to manage personal data in email. This includes individual consent, subject access rights, the right to be forgotten, and data portability. Mimecast provides numerous ways to help simplify regulatory compliance.
Security Awareness
Raise security awareness to change employee behavior and reduce security risk
Even the best employees can be maddeningly careless and resistant to change. Their casual mistakes can lead to disaster — and the cost can be staggering to your organization. Improve security culture with engaging content and advanced risk scoring.
Web Security
Improve web security by blocking more threats
While the majority of cyberattacks continue to be delivered through email, 91% of malware uses the web – and specifically DNS – to function once it lands. When combined, email and web represent the initiation point for 99% of successful breaches.< Block activity initiated by user action or malware and access to inappropriate websites. Enhance protection with fully integrated web and email security.
