Case Study: Boston Red Sox achieves reliable email continuity and stronger security with Mimecast

Mimecast’s Email Security and Awareness Come up Clutch for the Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox, a data-driven Major League Baseball franchise, faced rising cyber threats as their digital transformation expanded analytics, scouting, ticketing and back-office systems. Protecting sensitive data and ensuring uninterrupted email—critical for operations from concessions to fan services—meant the club needed stronger email continuity, disaster recovery and employee security awareness.

The Red Sox implemented Mimecast for Email Security, Continuity, Archiving and Awareness Training, replacing a less capable solution to gain added redundancy and DR. Mimecast’s user-friendly tools (including mobile and Outlook integration) and engaging, humorous training improved adoption and employee vigilance, delivering reliable email availability, stronger attack prevention and measurable security posture gains.
