How can Mimecast enhance mobile email security?

Mimecast enhances mobile email security through mobile application management, remote wipe capabilities, and policy integration for users.

Mobile application management ensures that the email applications used on mobile devices are secure, allowing for the enforcement of security policies specific to those applications. This means that organizations can manage and protect data within the app, separating corporate data from personal data and ensuring that sensitive information is not compromised.

The remote wipe feature is crucial for protecting data on lost or stolen devices. If a device is misplaced, administrators can remotely erase all corporate data from the device, preventing unauthorized access to email and sensitive information.

Policy integration refers to the establishment of security policies that govern how users can access and interact with email on their mobile devices. By defining clear security policies, organizations can ensure that users adhere to best practices, thereby minimizing the risk of security breaches.

Alternatives may limit access or integrate with local antivirus software, but they do not provide the comprehensive, layered security approach that mobile application management, remote wipe, and policy integration offer. This integrated strategy ensures that mobile email communication remains safe and secure against various threats.
