What is the purpose of Continuity Event Management in Mimecast?

Continuity Event Management in Mimecast is specifically designed to detect and manage email continuity events. The primary goal of this feature is to ensure that email services remain functional and accessible even during outages or disruptions in the primary email service.

This involves monitoring email traffic, identifying potential disruptions, and implementing strategies to maintain email accessibility for users. By doing this, organizations can avoid downtime, minimize the impact on business operations, and ensure that communication channels remain open. The ability to manage these events effectively is crucial for maintaining organizational productivity and ensuring that email communication does not suffer from outages or service failures.

Other functionalities, such as archiving emails or providing analytics on email usage, serve different purposes and are not directly related to the management of continuity events. Syncing directory groups also pertains to user management rather than the specifics of continuity within email services.
