Case Study: BLM achieves stronger email threat protection with Mimecast

BLM blocks 121 unsafe attachments and 29 malicious links with Mimecast

BLM LLP, a UK and Ireland-based insurance and risk law firm with over 1,700 employees, faced a growing threat from targeted email attacks containing malicious URLs and attachments. These attacks not only risked the firm's reputation and confidential information but also placed a significant burden on the IT support team, which had to spend days addressing each incident. The firm turned to Mimecast for a solution to proactively protect its employees.

By implementing Mimecast's Targeted Threat Protection suite, including URL Protect and Attachment Protect, BLM gained real-time scanning and sandboxing capabilities. The solution from Mimecast scanned over 19,000 links and 37,000 attachments per week, blocking access to malicious sites and preventing unsafe attachments from reaching users. This significantly reduced risk exposure and saved the IT team an estimated 20 support days per threat incident, allowing them to focus on more valuable business tasks.
