Case Study: Fichte & Co achieves 94% reduction in phishing exposure with Mimecast

Mimecast Helps Global Law Firm Fichte & Co. Reduce Exposure to Phishing Attacks By 94 Percent

Fichte & Co., a leading UAE law firm with offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, experienced a surge of sophisticated, targeted phishing attacks in early 2017. Their existing anti-spam/anti-virus tools were letting multiple threats through each week, eroding staff confidence in email and prompting Managing Partner Jasamin Fichte and CIO Matthew Peet to seek a rapid, stronger solution.

The firm deployed Mimecast Secure Email Gateway with Targeted Threat Prevention, with an engineer onsite within 48 hours and protection active within hours. Mimecast now blocks 60% of inbound mail at the gateway and has reduced threats reaching users by 94%, stopping malicious URLs and attachments while maintaining essentially zero false positives—restoring productivity and clearing the way for further security investments.
