Mimecast is a cloud-based email security platform that provides a wide range of protection features for businesses, safeguarding against email-borne threats such as phishing, malware, spam, and data leaks. It’s designed to protect organizations from the increasing volume and sophistication of email attacks. Here’s an overview of what Mimecast offers:
1. Email Protection
Anti-Phishing: Mimecast uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to detect phishing emails, including spear phishing and impersonation attacks. It can block these emails before they reach users’ inboxes.
Malware and Virus Protection: Mimecast scans attachments and links within emails for known malware and viruses. It can also detect zero-day threats that might not have an established signature.
Spam Filtering: Mimecast provides spam detection that filters out unsolicited emails, reducing the noise in users’ inboxes and focusing on legitimate communication.
2. Advanced Threat Protection
Targeted Threat Protection (TTP): Mimecast’s TTP feature specifically targets advanced threats like ransomware, impersonation attacks, and other complex email threats. It uses AI to identify and block harmful email behavior.
URL Protect: When users click on links in emails, Mimecast ensures the URLs are safe by scanning them in real-time. If a URL is detected as malicious, users are prevented from accessing the site.
Attachment Protect: Any file attachments in emails are sandboxed and analyzed for malicious behavior. This helps to mitigate risks from zero-day exploits and other unknown threats.
Please Note: We do not provide the service. We only provide setup, support and maintain the service. If you do not already have Mimecast service and would like to have it, please let us know. We can get the service for you through a provider that offers it.
What We Do
1. Complete Setup & Configuration
We handle the full deployment of Mimecast — from DNS updates to policy configuration — ensuring it’s properly integrated with your existing mail infrastructure (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google Workspace).
We tailor Mimecast policies to match your organization’s unique security, compliance, and data retention requirements.
2. Ongoing Policy Management & Optimization
Security threats evolve — we proactively update and optimize your Mimecast policies to stay ahead of phishing, malware, and impersonation tactics.
We manage user/group policies, attachment controls, URL protection rules, and data loss prevention (DLP) policies, so you’re always protected.
3. Threat Monitoring & Incident Response
We actively monitor threat alerts, quarantine reports, and logs to identify and act on suspicious email activity in real time.
Our team investigates and remediates email threats, reducing your response time and limiting damage from phishing or malware.
We provide regular threat intelligence updates and analysis based on Mimecast logs.
4. User Support & Quarantine Management
We provide helpdesk support for your users — assisting with email delivery issues, managing quarantined messages, and releasing false positives.
We educate your users on how to use Mimecast’s digest and portal effectively, reducing the burden on internal IT.
5. Reporting, Compliance & Audit Support
We generate detailed, customized security reports that give you visibility into email threats, user behavior, and policy enforcement.
We assist with eDiscovery, email archiving access, and audit trails to help you stay compliant with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or FINRA.
6. Email Continuity & Disaster Recovery
In the event of a mail server outage (e.g., Microsoft 365 downtime), we ensure email continuity through Mimecast’s platform, so your business never stops.
We test and maintain continuity features, making sure your team can send and receive emails during outages.
7. Security Awareness & User Training
We deliver user training sessions — including simulated phishing campaigns — to build a strong security culture and reduce risk from human error.
Our managed service includes reviewing and refining training results to continually improve user awareness.
8. Integration & Automation
We help integrate Mimecast with your SIEM, ticketing, or security operations tools for unified visibility and faster incident handling.
We automate repetitive tasks like alerting, quarantine reviews, and compliance reporting to reduce overhead.
9. Cost-Effective Expertise
Mimecast is powerful but complex — our managed service means you get enterprise-grade security without needing to build that expertise in-house.
We act as your security extension, reducing costs and freeing your IT team to focus on strategic initiatives.
Bonus: Strategic Partnership
We don’t just manage Mimecast — we advise you on how to use it to achieve broader security goals.
As threats change, we evolve your Mimecast setup to maintain compliance and resilience — not just set it and forget it.
