91% of all cyber-attacks start through email. An attack can cause devastating consequences, not only in terms of compromised systems, but also data loss, reputational damage and fines.

With the cost of breaches on the rise, protecting your business has never been more important. Email attacks are increasingly sophisticated as cyber-criminals use impersonation tactics and social networking sites to target users with emails that appear from individuals or organisations they know. These attacks, often referred to as social engineering attacks, like spear-phishing and whaling, are highly successful and difficult to detect.

We recommend the advanced protection offered by Mimecast Email Security Services. As a Cloud-based service, Mimecast sits at the gateway to your systems, providing always-on protection and ensuring all threats are removed before they reach your network.

With a dedicated offering for Microsoft 365, you can protect against targeted threats using a solution that integrates perfectly with your email system.
