Case Study: Abbot Point Operations achieves stronger email security and saves 1,000 IT hours with Mimecast

Mimecast Fuels Abbot Point Operations Cybersecurity Strategy

Abbot Point Operations (APO), which helps export Queensland coal, faced rising email-based cyberthreats and an urgent vendor change when its previous email security provider announced end-of-life. APO’s small IT team was overwhelmed by hundreds of phishing emails a day—especially during the COVID-19 period—and needed a more robust, easy-to-manage email security solution.

APO deployed Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection and Archiving, attracted by easy Office 365 integration and an intuitive administration portal. The implementation improved detection and automatic removal of phishing and malware, provided single-pane visibility, and freed roughly 1,000 IT hours in one year—delivering stronger, continually evolving protection and simpler management.
