Case Study: Prospect Capital Management achieves zero email downtime and stronger security with Mimecast

More Than $6 Billion Under Management, Prospect Capital Relies on Mimecast for Email Security

Prospect Capital, a publicly traded private debt and equity manager with $6.4 billion in assets under management, relied on email for critical investment activity and faced heightened risk as virtually every employee was a high-value target. When COVID-19 forced a rapid move to remote work, CTO Al Faella and CISO Steven Elliott needed an email security partner that could provide integrated threat protection, archiving, compliance and strong support while migrating to Microsoft 365 without disruption.

Prospect implemented Mimecast for targeted threat protection, archiving and continuity, secure messaging and large-file transfer, giving them layered defenses against BEC, spoofing and other email threats. The result: seamless migration to Microsoft 365 with no downtime, zero email interruptions during the COVID-19 work-from-home transition, highly configurable policies and reporting for ongoing enforcement, and dependable support plus a fully indexed archive to meet regulatory requirements.
