How is Mimecast positioned to handle business email compromise (BEC)?

Mimecast is well-positioned to handle business email compromise (BEC) primarily through advanced detection techniques. BEC is a form of cyber attack where an attacker impersonates a legitimate business or a trusted partner to trick employees into sending money or sensitive information. The threat landscape for BEC is constantly evolving, which requires sophisticated and adaptive solutions.

Advanced detection techniques include the use of machine learning algorithms, threat intelligence, and behavioral analysis to identify anomalies and signs of suspicious email activity. These methods enable Mimecast to detect phishing attempts, impersonation attacks, and other malicious behaviors that are often involved in BEC schemes. By leveraging these technologies, Mimecast can effectively mitigate risks and protect organizations from potential financial losses and data breaches resulting from BEC.

In contrast, options such as email marketing services, unlimited email storage, and automated email replies do not address the specific threats posed by BEC. While they may be useful features in other contexts, they do not provide the specialized protective measures needed to combat the sophisticated attacks associated with business email compromise.
