Case Study: Large Financial Services Group achieves continuous email availability and stronger phishing defense with Mimecast

“Business as Usual” Becomes Usual as a Financial Services Group Banks on Mimecast

A South African financial services group with operations in 12 African countries needed more than just technology to protect its email systems — it wanted a true partner with strong regional presence and fast, knowledgeable support. The cybersecurity team was grappling with rising COVID-19 phishing attempts, thousands of remote workers to manage, and previous vendors who were slow to respond or lacked local expertise.

Mimecast delivered Email Security, DMARC Analyzer, Continuity, Large File Send and Secure Messaging, and provided on-demand, locally informed support that helped resolve delivery issues in hours rather than days. As a result the organisation reduced phishing risk, easily managed remote email accounts, maintained continuous email availability and gained an ongoing partnership for policy tuning and threat analysis to strengthen email resilience.
