Advanced Email Security with Transputec and Mimecast

Advanced Email Security

Written by KRITIKA SINHA | MARKETING

Imagine this: You’re rushing through a busy Monday morning when an email from a trusted client lands in your inbox. It looks authentic—the logo’s there, the sender’s address matches, and it includes a request to approve an urgent transaction. But hidden in that email lies a sophisticated phishing attack, designed to compromise your business’s financial security.

Such scenarios aren’t rare. Phishing attacks account for over 90% of data breaches, according to Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report. These malicious attempts have grown increasingly sophisticated, making it clear that traditional security measures fall short of offering robust protection.

This blog introduces you to “Advanced Email Security with Transputec and Mimecast.” It explains why advanced email security is indispensable, showcases the strategic benefits of Transputec’s partnership with Mimecast, and explores practical solutions your organisation can leverage to stay ahead of email-based threats. We’ll also highlight how Transputec helps ensure comprehensive protection in an ever-evolving threat landscape.

Why Businesses Choose Transputec and Mimecast

Clients partnering with Transputec and Mimecast report significant improvements, including:

  • 90% reduction in phishing incidents.
  • Improved employee awareness of cyber threats.
  • 100% email availability with continuous access to messages.
  • Enhanced regulatory compliance with secure email retention.

These outcomes highlight the measurable impact advanced email security can have on organisational resilience.

Why Advanced Email Security Is a Business Essential

A New Age of Email Threats

Email remains the backbone of business communication, but it’s also the primary vector for cyberattacks. Consider these alarming facts:

  • Rising Costs: Email-based cybercrime cost businesses globally over $43 billion between 2016 and 2023, per FBI reports.
  • Evolving Tactics: Attackers now deploy social engineering, fileless malware, and business email compromise (BEC) schemes that bypass standard filters.
  • Insider Risks: Malicious insiders or accidental employee errors can amplify vulnerabilities.

Without advanced email security solutions, businesses risk operational disruption, financial loss, and irreversible damage to reputation.

Gaps in Traditional Security Measures

Legacy email security measures rely primarily on known attack signatures and standard firewalls. These systems struggle against advanced persistent threats (APTs) that adapt in real-time. The lack of artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics often results in:

  • Delayed detection of new phishing techniques.
  • Vulnerability to sophisticated ransomware.
  • Inadequate protection against insider attacks.
