Case Study: Centrax neutralizes phishing attack and strengthens cyber defenses with Mimecast

Centrax fires up its cybersecurity with a complete set of defenses

Centrax, a UK-based manufacturer of gas turbines and generator packages that power critical national grids and industrial customers, faced rising phishing and ransomware threats that put uptime and customer trust at risk. A high-profile look-alike domain attack on a major client exposed gaps in its defenses and prompted the company to strengthen protections to meet customer expectations for resilient cybersecurity.

Centrax deployed Mimecast’s complete security suite—upgrading Email Security and Cloud Archive, adding Brand Exploit Protect, Security Awareness Training and AI-powered CyberGraph—to shore up defenses and train staff. The team neutralized the look-alike attack within a day of going live, now rejects about 48% of inbound mail as spam/suspicious, blocks malware an average of 29 times per weekday, and has reduced IT burden while improving overall threat detection and response.
