Case Study: Swansway Garages achieves dramatic reduction in email security management and elimination of spam, phishing & impersonation with Mimecast

Swansway Garages Fixes False Positive Challenge for Spam, Phishing and Impersonation Emails with Mimecast

Swansway Garages is a family‑owned UK car dealership group operating 21 sites with about 1,300 employees. The IT team was struggling with a Symantec-based email security setup that let spam, spear‑phishing, malware and impersonation messages through and generated frequent false positives, forcing staff to spend roughly 40–50 hours a month manually reviewing logs and managing the system.

After migrating to Mimecast Email Security with Targeted Threat Protection, onboarding was seamless and the platform proved more agile and reliable in content filtering. Management time fell from 40–50 hours per month to about 15 minutes per week, spam, phishing and impersonation were virtually eliminated, and administrators now perform only weekly summary checks while using real‑time inspection for any suspected false positives.
