Athona Recruitment blocks 40,000 malicious emails a week with Mimecast

Athona Recruitment, a UK-based recruitment agency, faced the challenge of sophisticated whaling attacks that threatened to compromise sensitive client information and damage their reputation. To address this, they turned to vendor Mimecast for a solution, specifically implementing its Impersonation Protect service to secure their email communications against these targeted threats.

Mimecast's solution scanned emails in real time to detect and block impersonation attacks. The service was immediately effective, blocking attacks from the moment it was deployed without generating false positives or adding administrative complexity. This provided Athona with robust security against potential financial losses from these highly focused attacks, making the investment highly valuable.
