Case Study: Cushman & Wakefield achieves secure, scalable email protection and streamlined onboarding with Mimecast

Cushman & Wakefield Locks Down Prime Real Estate with Mimecast Email Protection

Cushman & Wakefield, a global commercial real estate firm with about 50,000 employees in over 400 offices across 60 countries, needed to secure its email—the company’s primary communication channel—against phishing and other threats while staying true to a cloud-first, scalable model. The information security team also required a solution that could handle frequent change from mergers and acquisitions, ensure legitimate mail delivery, and provide dependable global support as remote work increased risk.

Cushman & Wakefield partnered with Mimecast, deploying Internal Email Protect (IEP), DMARC Analyzer and APIs to automate onboarding/offboarding and protect inboxes. The tools enabled rapid identification, deletion and restoration of suspicious messages, simplified rebranding and user additions, eliminated server burdens, and helped diagnose delivery issues—improving email security and operational agility across thousands of accounts worldwide.
