Multi-vector attacks, phishing, BEC, insider threats and brand abuse all require a holistic security strategy.
Sooner or later you’ll have to stop relying on just protecting what’s directly inside your company’s castle walls and the issues that directly affect your company. Nowadays, you need to have your finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the cybersphere. Mimecast provides you with the protection you need—at, inside and outside the perimeter. What does that actually mean?
Mimecast combines technologies developed in-house with third parties’ market-leading technologies to offer you multi-layer protection against malware, spam, phishing, ransomware, and other targeted e-mail attacks. And all in an integrated cloud solution that reduces your costs and complexity. The Mimecast platform uses open APIs to integrate into your company’s existing security systems. And thanks to an admin console, deployment and management of Mimecast features and services couldn’t be easier.
Mimecast scans your internal e-mail traffic—e-mails sent between your employees—with an automated threat search to help you identify, analyse, resolve, and extract attacks from your e-mail network. Mimecast Awareness Training offers effective online security training for employees—and in just some three minutes per month. The training modules take the form of amusing, modern, three-minute sitcom episodes and address cyber risks that are current and applicable.
Mimecast offers solutions that protect your brand and domain against explicit forgery and imitation, meaning your company can retain its customers’ trust. How sure are you, that someone hasn’t registered a similar URL to your website and isn’t using your brand to trick users into submitting their login details—or even causing financial damages? Mimecast leaves no room for doubt. Protect your customers, partners, and your own employees against phishing attacks using domains similar to your own. Identify attacks where cybercriminals clone your website and then block and deactivate them.
Defending your company against cyberthreats is a complicated task that often requires many complex tools. Adding new technologies is simple. Combining them all together effectively, however, can be just the opposite. This kind of orchestration, though, isn’t just invaluable for optimising your investments, it’s the key to ensuring that your company stays as secure as possible. Our specially developed cloud based platform—Mime|OS—provides an expandable architecture that lets you quickly and easily integrate Mimecast into your existing systems.
Attackers send spam and virus via e-mail or include malicious URLs they can leverage to carry our phishing and spear phishing attacks. They also send different types of malware that businesses with signatures and classic anti-virus technologies aren’t able to detect. Although the traditional concept of a perimeter has come a long way, the fact remains that securing e-mails is the most important step for a company to take to reduce risks and avoid issues.
Even with robust e-mail security perimeters, attackers can find their way through defences and operate within an e-mail network by exploiting compromised user accounts and social engineering to send malicious e-mails to employees, customers and partners. Employees are also susceptible to opening attachments, clicking on links and falling for scams. It is, therefore, no surprise that human error is a factor in the majority of successful attacks.
It is quite easy for attackers to register look-alike websites and fake domains on the internet without even having to worry about secured corporate interfaces. Even inexperienced attackers can register a similar domain name or host a website, the sole purpose of which is to trick customers, partners and employees, damaging the value, reputation and trust well-known brands have put a lot of effort into building up.
