Case Study: Top 100 Banking Organization restores customer trust and halts advanced phishing with Mimecast Brand Exploit Protect

Top 100 Bank relies on Mimecast to foil advanced phishing attacks

A top‑100, multi‑channel European bank with over $300bn in assets and 40,000+ employees was being hammered by advanced phishing campaigns that impersonated its brand. The bank logged more than 1,000 malicious activities a month, and existing anti‑fraud tools failed to spot or remove lookalike sites quickly, eroding customer trust and risking financial losses.

The bank deployed Mimecast Brand Exploit Protect to continuously monitor its domains and detect phishing in the preparation phase, complementing existing defenses. Mimecast’s pre‑emptive detection and automated takedown reduced exposure time from days or weeks to minutes or a few hours, cutting customer impact and helping the bank rebuild its reputation.
