Mimecast Awareness Training in Financial Services

We are using Mimecast Awareness Training for company-wide compliance for cybersecurity education and phishing tests on a monthly basis for a headcount of around 300 employees. It serves to fulfill cyber insurance requirements and to mitigate internal user information security risks to avoid serious breaches and reputational damage to the organization.

Yes, we have been able to reduce general cybersecurity risk across our organization with this product. The more frequent training allows for tracking behaviour more accurately over time, and keeps the topic top of mind of end-users. We have more people reporting phishing emails and double-checking suspicious emails with colleagues.

Mimecast Awareness Training's use of humor makes the content is more engaging and memorable. The recurring characters allow the concepts of human error and sound judgment to be absorbed more deeply, and generates positive conversation around the office - many even say they look forward to completing the training every month
