Case Study: Network 10 eliminates email-borne malware and false positives with Mimecast

Network 10 blocks 80% of incoming email with Mimecast

Network 10, an Australian free-to-air broadcaster, faced a significant increase in malicious email and URL-type attacks that threatened its fast-paced media operations. The company's challenge was to implement a robust email filtering solution that would improve threat detection without causing false positives that could block legitimate, time-sensitive business communications. To address this, they turned to the vendor Mimecast and its Email Security service.

By implementing Mimecast's cloud-based Email Security solution, which integrates with Microsoft Office 365, Network 10 immediately reduced email-borne threats and eliminated false positives. The results were measurable: Mimecast now filters nearly 3 million emails per month, blocking 80% of inbound messages and detecting over 50 malware samples and 250 potential whaling attacks. This has prevented security incidents and allowed IT staff to focus on other tasks, with Mimecast successfully stopping threats from entering the organization.
