Case Study: International Specialty Jeweler achieves phishing protection and faster threat response with Mimecast

Specialty jeweler rates Mimecast “D-Flawless” for preventing phishing attacks and reducing email risks

An international specialty jeweler with more than 3,500 stores and 23,000 staff was a frequent target for phishing and other email-based attacks. Store and office employees were prone to clicking malicious links, remediation was slow and painful, and the company’s hybrid Office 365 environment lacked the visibility, protection and centralized archiving needed to manage growing mailboxes and regulatory requirements.

The retailer deployed Mimecast for added security, archiving and continuity and later added Targeted Threat Protection (URL Protect), which rewrites and scans all inbound links in real time. The solution gave IT full visibility into clicks, cut threat response from hours to minutes, improved email tracking and multi-domain routing, and provided an Outlook add-in for user self-service and continuity during Office 365 blips—resulting in stronger protection, major time savings and plans to add Impersonation Protect and Secure Messaging.
