Case Study: Haynes International achieves 70% reduction in unwanted email and seven-second email retrieval with Mimecast

Mimecast Protects Haynes International From Email-Borne Threats, Enables Email Retrieval in Seconds

Haynes International, a global developer and manufacturer of high‑performance nickel‑ and cobalt‑based alloys with about 400 email users, needed to replace an on‑premise anti‑spam/anti‑virus appliance with gateway blocking, overhaul a slow, multi‑NAS archiving and retrieval process that could take hours or days, and put in place email business continuity to protect against Exchange outages.

Haynes implemented Mimecast’s Email Security, Targeted Threat Protection, Email Archiving and Email Continuity, which now blocks nearly 70% of incoming mail as spam at the gateway, provides cloud archiving with a seven‑second search SLA so users retrieve mail in seconds, and fails over email during server outages. The result: network email traffic dropped ~70%, IT email management is streamlined, security incidents have decreased, and the platform supports a smoother migration to Exchange Online/Office 365.
