Case Study: Al Abbar Group strengthens email security and archiving with Mimecast

Al Abbar Group cuts $75,000-$100,000 in annual NAS storage costs with Mimecast

The Al Abbar Group, a major construction contractor in the Middle East, faced significant challenges with email security and archiving. Their business relied almost entirely on email, making them vulnerable to cyber threats and costly downtime. Their previous solution was inefficient for retrieving old emails and resulted in unsustainable annual storage costs of up to $100,000. They partnered with Mimecast for a solution that included the Mimecast Cloud Archive and Targeted Threat Protection.

By implementing Mimecast's services, Al Abbar Group eliminated its expensive storage costs and gained a secure, easily searchable archive with a 99-year retention period. The Mimecast solution also provided advanced email security, effectively blocking ransomware and phishing attacks. The company achieved improved cyber resilience, ensured business continuity with no email downtime in four years, and significantly reduced IT help desk calls.
