Case Study: GUD Holdings expands employee cybersecurity awareness with Mimecast

GUD Holdings standardizes cybersecurity awareness with Mimecast across monthly micro learning

GUD Holdings, an Australian industrial product design and development enterprise, faced a challenge in standardizing cybersecurity awareness across its autonomous business units. With disparate IT departments and an influx of impersonation and phishing emails, they were reacting to threats rather than preventing them. They enlisted Mimecast to help implement a consolidated, proactive employee education program.

Mimecast provided security awareness training through a micro-learning approach, focusing on a new topic each month to keep security front of mind without overwhelming users. The solution included risk scoring for individual users and allowed for consistent training across all employees and contractors. As a result, Mimecast helped GUD Holdings establish a unified security standard while preserving each business's autonomy, enabling the imposition of tighter controls on high-risk users and shifting the organization to a more proactive security posture.
