Mimecast Secure Email Gateway Reviews

We implemented Mimecast Secure Email Gateway to combat the many vulnerabilities that have blossomed through email over the past decade. This is implemented company wide and integrates with our G Suite email architecture. With Mimecast we have been able to limit phishing scams, minimize spam, prohibit unsafe links and give our users a customizable experience to keep them focused on the safe, secure and important emails that they need to perform their job.

We use Mimecast as our email gateway. It filters all inbound and outbound messages for our entire organization. Mimecast helps us make sure that virtually all of our outbound email messages were encrypted, provides us with both a secure website and an Outlook add-in to review blocked/filtered messages. Being able to be certain that our outgoing messages are properly encrypted, as well as being able to send secure messages via the web portal to companies that don't accept inbound encryption, has proven indispensable.

We use the service for all incoming and outbound emails, across every department. It dramatically reduces the end users' spam and malicious emails, including phishing. Additional services are attachment protection and URL protection. Both are very low impact to our users and have a high yield in results. Rollout of the additional services was cost-effective as well as openly accepted by our users. I would use the word transparent but that is a "jinx" word in IT (similar to "seamless"). ;)

Mimecast is used across the whole organization. We take advantage of many of its great features. For example, email first flows to Mimecast servers before they hit 0365. Mimecast has an array of rules that weed out people trying to spoof domains, or spoof emails that look like they are coming from say our CEO (anti-whale phishing) it checks our and redirects any links looking for malware. It also detonates and checks out various attachments for malware, macros and other bad stuff.

Mimecast handles all aspects of our email for the entire organization. From a basic level it allows and blocks mail. However it also protects against aspects such as DLP (Content Examination) looking for regular expressions in your email and performing appropriate actions against the email. It also gives you options with your email such as changing email data, such as if it came in from X person, change it to look like it came in from Y person. Mimecast is extremely powerful and worth every penny.

Mimecast is being used across the whole organization to provide protection against spam, malware and phishing attempts. We also utilize the Attachment and URL protections to bring an added layer of security to our end users. Mimecast addressed issues that we could not have thought of in regards to Whaling and Impersonation attempts.
