Provides protection against routine threats like spam, viruses and malware
It’s a straightforward process to set up Mimecast, especially for individuals experienced in email gateway security. The setup is quite effortless. In fact, it's a real-time implementation that can be accomplished within a short span, even as little as thirty to forty minutes. The ease of setup depends on how the user intends to utilize the product. If there is need to make direct DNS changes, there might be a 24-hour implementation time. However, if coordination is established with management or IT personnel, the setup can be performed during non-business hours, such as midnight. Complexity is minimal. While larger organizations often encounter time-consuming procedures, smaller ones can swiftly implement the necessary changes.
