Mimecast Email & Collaboration Threat Protection

Mimecast Email & Collaboration Threat Protection is an email security gateway that combines threat detection, anti-phishing, URL rewriting, and collaboration-layer protection in one managed service.

What is Mimecast Email & Collaboration Threat Protection?

Mimecast's email and collaboration threat protection is built around stopping malware, phishing, and impersonation attacks before they reach users. Its longstanding market presence, large enterprise install base, and broad attachment and URL inspection capabilities make it a common choice for centralized email security. Buyers should evaluate how it fits alongside endpoint and identity protection rather than assuming email security alone covers modern collaboration threats.
