What is your primary use case for Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection?

We are doing a POC (Proof of Concept) for a customer looking into offset solutions to see how it performs compared to other players in email security.

We use the product for email security purposes.

We have a client using the Mimecast tool. We observe multiple information sensors, such as default information, mismatched data, unknown IPs, and various user activities. They use Mimecast to monitor outbound traffic, including impersonation and mismatched data. All these activities are managed within Mimecast. Companies use Mimecast to enhance network security within their budget. For outbound communication, emails go to Mimecast, where they are scanned and delivered to the user.

We use the tool for email security. It filters email messages for spam and phishing and provides overall security functions.

The solution is used for banking and finance clients.

Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection is used for email security, including both inbound and outbound emails. It is also used for phishing detection and safeguard the oragnisation’s communication methods.

We use the solution for email security.

We use the product to address phishing attacks, security incidents, spoofing, attachment-based attacks, and impersonation. It sends image alerts to account servers before reaching the end recipient. It has behavior analysis and volume tools to detect and block malicious activities.

We use the product as an anti-spam solution and for archiving emails.

We are our business is a nonprofit medical, dental, behavioral health, and optometry. We have HIPAA in the United States. This is, basically, a patient privacy protocol. We have to stay compliant with HIPAA. Therefore, we have to monitor the content of the mail, both in and out, on a very basic level to make sure that it doesn't give outpatient information. This product has a built-in HIPAA dictionary, So that it will automatically scan inbound and outbound emails, based on a set of parameters that we feed into the system. It will stop anything it thinks might be a problem. It will let us know, and then we can review the mail and release it or reject it as needed. That's extremely important for us so that personal health identification information doesn't get out there for any patients. We also use it to track messaging. If someone says, "I didn't get a message," we can confirm or deny that based on what we see. We use URL protection inside emails so it will potentially block what it thinks is a bad URL. Those are often false positives. However, it's better safe than sorry. We do all our spam filtering through it so that it will block any spam. If it's on the borderline, it will let the user know and ask them if this is a legit email; however, mostly, it's just blocking things, and we review. A couple of times every day, we'll look just to see if anything's getting held there that shouldn't be.

We use the solution for its security and archiving facilities.

We primarily use the solution for filtering.

We use this solution for email threat protection and archiving.

We use Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection for email security.

I am an investment research analyst. We use this solution for spam and as our security filter.

We use it internally, and we support other customers on it. Enterprises and large organizations use it to manage their platform on a large scale. It is a cloud product, so it is always going to be the latest version. Mimecast themselves are the cloud provider.

The solution is primarily used to stop malicious emails with malicious attachments and can stop users from accessing sites or links that have a virus or malicious content.

It is our spam filter, phishing filter, and executive impersonation filter. We have its latest version.

We use Mimecast as our email gateway. We also use it as our archival service. All those phishing, anti-phishing, spear phishing, spamming, and other security filters that they have, we use all of them.

Mimecast security in general, it's a SaaS service so they have their servers; they have everything on their side and we're just quote-unquote, passing the traffic through them, the email traffic through them. Mimecast has multiple different solutions, all linked to the email. They recently added user info security training, but we're not using that. We, however, are using the archive piece and we're currently using their security threat protection. Regarding the threat protection — that does just fine. As far as the security goes — they had a big hiccup earlier this year where they were giving a false positive to a bunch of attachments. I'm not sure what happened on their side but for one week at least we had that issue. It took them a little over a week to resolve the issue. We also had some minor incidents after that, that they resolved. Generally speaking, other than that event, it has been good. It doesn't block a hundred percent of the security threats received, but you have a lot of options to tag or even further analyze the messages received through Mimecast, either to a third-party solution or through an endpoint solution. Everyone uses this solution at our company, whether they know it or not because you can leave it as transparent as you want it, or as user-demanding as you want it. There are specific items that only IT uses, but in general, this solution is used by one hundred percent of the company.

The primary use case of this solution is to avoid phishing emails, spam emails, attachment protection, and URL protection.
