Case Study: Bird & Bird achieves advanced protection against email-borne threats with Mimecast

Global Law Firm Bird & Bird LLP Chooses Mimecast To Stay Ahead of Email-Borne Threats

Bird & Bird LLP, an international law firm with 28 offices and more than 2,500 users, originally engaged Mimecast in 2010 to tackle growing spam and to simplify email continuity and archiving. As email threats evolved into more sophisticated targeted attacks—ransomware, spear‑phishing, embedded links, password‑protected documents and CEO/CFO impersonation—the firm needed a stronger, early‑stage defence.

Bird & Bird deployed Mimecast’s Targeted Threat Protection (including URL Protect and Impersonation Protect) atop its existing Mimecast anti‑spam/anti‑virus, continuity and archiving services. The combined solution stopped threats earlier, improved overall security, ensured consistent access and policy enforcement across offices, and gave the firm and its clients greater confidence in the protection of their email and data.
