Mimecast provides an always-on, cloud-based email security solution that reduces the complexity of protecting your organization from malware, spam and data leakage. Our service delivers robust 100% anti-virus and 99% anti-spam service levels, with 0.0001% spam false positives. An advanced mail transfer agent (MTA) acts as your email bridgehead in the cloud, stopping known and emerging email borne threats before they reach your network.

With J2 Software we provide Mimecast flexible and granular controls that enable administrators to protect against inbound threats, including phishing, spear-phishing and denial of service attacks, and prevent sensitive and secure content from leaving your organization. Organization-wide security policies are managed from a single interface and can be applied with immediate effect, enabling a faster response to rapidly evolving situations. J2 Software assist and enable end users to self-serve via Outlook, a native Mac app, browser and mobile apps, for actions including quarantine management and blocked senders, helping improve their productivity and reduce the burden on IT.

Mimecast’s unique approach to email security starts with our service platform, which provides a zero drag pass-through Secure Email Gateway service as a foundation to build a tailored protection suite for your organization. Additional features and services can further enhance security and control; including Targeted Threat Protection, Data Leak Prevention, Email Encryption, Content Controls and even Large File Send tools.

Email security is an essential part of your overall security strategy, protecting your users from the latest email threats and enforcing security controls on information flows. Email security powered by a zero drag pass-through cloud gateway is now the defacto standard for security best practice.

Mimecast’s Secure Email Gateway is a core security component of the Mimecast Platform, designed to deliver real time email security to protect your business and your users from email threats. Our security gateway includes:

With cyber-attacks and data breaches on the increase, organizations are becoming painfully aware of the potential threats to their valuable data and intellectual property (IP), as well as any customer data they may hold.

Security scanning or gateway services have made it harder for traditional spam or phishing attacks to penetrate enterprise email systems. Determined attackers are increasingly using a combination of sophisticated social-engineering and targeted or spear-phishing emails to breach their targets.

Standard email security gateways are not designed to detect these new attacks or protect their users from this very dynamic threat vector. Highly targeted attacks are designed to foil even the most sophisticated defenses.

Mimecast Targeted Threat Protection is an advanced email security technology that protects users against spear-phishing and targeted attacks in email, extending our existing Secure Email Gateway anti-spam and anti-virus services.

The service re-writes all URLs embedded in email, then performs a layered security check on the destination site when a user clicks on the link. This wholesale protection is more robust, more effective and more secure than trying to detect the single phishing email. Targeted Threat Protection delivers key benefits including:

Compliance requirements necessitate the use of extra layers of protection for sensitive information. In addition, a key element of security best practice is the ability to prevent confidential information from entering or leaving the business through email. It’s still far too easy for end users to maliciously or accidentally disclose sensitive, personal or confidential information to the outside world by email.

Mitigating this vulnerability requires specialist gateway controls, which are not normally part of a standard email security service. Mimecast recognizes the importance of enhanced security and provides a Data Leak Prevention capability to enhance Secure Email Gateway features.  

Data Leak Prevention is included in our M2A bundle and Email Security service.

Email encryption was once a technology used by a minority of organizations, conducting their communications within encrypted channels. Today the demand for encryption of all email on the open Internet is significant as more businesses come to rely on their intellectual property and proprietary information as an asset. Encryption has also become a technical standard or best practice for those businesses required to protect their data and their users to the maximum extent technically possible.

Mimecast Email Encryption and Privacy provides the ability to encrypt email in transit, as well as deploy more granular secure communications tools for those situations where confidentiality is of the upmost importance.

Encryption and Privacy capabilities are included in our M2A bundle and Email Security service.

Compliance, both internal and external, is often a key driver for enhanced levels of email content control within an organization’s email security policies. Email content controls can be defined in two categories; firstly the corporate control that is compliance-driven for regulation and looks for specific dictionaries of words or phrases. Secondly, the user protection control that is deployed to stop end users being exposed to offensive email content or images.

Mimecast Content Policy Gateway features enhance the level of protection offered to your end users.

Content Policy Gateway capabilities are included in our M2A bundle. They work in conjunction with Attachment Management features to enable attachment content checking.

Managing attachments in email is a foundation of most organizations’ email security policies. Mimecast’s Secure Email Gateway will hold dangerous attachments by default, but if you need greater control and flexible security policies to manage other types of attachments, this service is essential.

Protecting your users from non-essential attachments is often more than just a security policy. There are measureable compliance and even productivity gains in defining the attachment types that groups of users have permission to send and receive. The Mimecast Secure Email Gateway with the Attachment Management option is able to detect any type of attachment in an email, and then react in a number of different ways based on the defined security policy.

These capabilities are included in our M2A Bundle and Email Security service.

Sending large files via email is a real problem, and has become a battle-ground between users and IT departments. Seeking to protect overall email system performance, IT teams routinely set limits on email size – but file sizes are growing, so users often struggle to share vital content with internal and external contacts.

As a result, users inevitably seek out ways to bypass corporate gateways – turning to consumer applications to send and receive large file content. However, these services often lack policy enforcement or content checking, and even fewer archive the email and attachments for discovery and retrieval at a later date.

IT departments need to retain control, but deliver a service that enables users to send large files while maintaining compliance and security.

Mimecast Large File Send for PC and Mac users provides a fast and simple way to send and receive large files without being restricted by attachment limits of Exchange or Office 365. End users can remain productive without having to leave Outlook.

Large File Send is an optional add-on to our M2A bundle. It can also be deployed alongside our Secure Email Gateway.

Additional monitoring and reporting is a key requirement for businesses whose email infrastructure is a vital part of their day to day business. Advanced Service Management brings two important tools to enhance reporting, as well as platform co-branding for corporate image compliance.

• Real time service monitoring delivers customized alert and notification settings for your IT team, supporting both SMS and email alerts for queues and key performance thresholds.
• Branded end user experience for users of the Mimecast Personal Portal for webmail and email encryption, as well as inbox notifications and digests.

• Auto Responders

Many organizations have a complex set of infrastructure requirements for email management, most of which are solutions to business problems that have arisen over years of operations. The solution has always been to deploy more infrastructure in support of these requirements, usually within the network. This is particularly true for the addition of new email servers over time, or the integration of new offices during acquisitions.

While pass-through zero drag in a secure email gateway may de-risk latency or privacy concerns, many email administrators demand a reasonable degree of message retention at the gateway - in order to support email administration and message track and trace for discovery and helpdesk queries.

Controlling the appearance of your corporate brand via email has always been a challenge. Coupled with the requirement to position some form of disclaimer on email, it often necessitates the purchase of a dedicated solution. Mimecast Advanced Email Signature and Disclaimer Management service can be added to our Secure Email Gateway and removes the need for a point solution, quickly providing the functionality you need to comply with both marketing and legal counsel requirements.

Maintain a managed process for automatically responding to inbound emails with Mimecast’s Secure Email Gateway. This feature gives your administrators the ability to control outbound notifications for a variety of situations; such as managing staff who have left the business, or responses to inbound enquiry emails.

• Automated responses to inbound emails can be configured by the email administrator in either plain text or HTML.

• Responses are sent from the gateway automatically and configured by administrator defined policies within Mimecast’s Secure Email Gateway.

• Advanced Disclaimer Management

• Advanced MTA Tools

• Content Policy Gateway
