Case Study: Azizi Developments achieves 75% reduction in inbound email and blocks phishing attacks with Mimecast

Mimecast Helps Real Estate Developer Azizi Developments Block Phishing Attacks & Suspicious Messages, Reducing Overall Inbound Email Traffic by 75 Percent

Azizi Developments, a Dubai-based real-estate developer with a large and growing portfolio, became a frequent target of increasingly sophisticated phishing and impersonation attacks that were overwhelming its staff and C-suite. Although the company used Office 365 with basic anti-spam/AV tools and had established a SOC and security-awareness program, it lacked advanced email threat protection and was spending many hours each week remediating email-based incidents.

Azizi deployed Mimecast Secure Email Gateway with Targeted Threat Protection—including attachment sandboxing, advanced phishing detection, and detailed reporting—configured in about 30 minutes. The solution immediately cut inbound email volume by more than 75%, greatly reduced spam, ransomware and malicious attachments, halved the time the security team spends on email incidents, improved visibility for targeted user coaching, and supports GDPR-compliant email practices.
