Mimecast Email Security protects organizations against phishing, malware, business email compromise, and impersonation attacks, with detection built on 20 years of experience and over 1.3 billion emails inspected daily. It's available as a secure email gateway (MX-based) for full control over complex, multi-region environments, or via API integration with Microsoft 365, which deploys in hours with no MX changes. Administrators get a single console for policy management, monitoring external communications, and customizing configurations, and can pair it with Mimecast Cloud Archive for long-term email retention and compliance.
