MIME 2017 Annual Report

10 • Large File Send: Employees can create security and compliance risks when they turn to file sharing services to overcome email size limits imposed by their email infrastructure. Mimecast Large File Send enables PC and Mac ® users to send and receive large files directly from Microsoft Outlook ® or a native Mac ® app. It protects attachments in line with security and content policies by using encryption, optional access key and custom expiration dates; supports audit, e-discovery and compliance by archiving all files and notifications according to email retention policies; and protects email system performance from the burden of large file traffic. • Data Leak Prevention: Organizations can prevent the inadvertent or malicious loss of sensitive corporate data with advanced data leak prevention and content controls. Policies using keywords, pattern matching, file hashes and dictionaries actively scan all email communications including file attachments to stop data leakage and support compliance. Suspect emails can be blocked, quarantined for review by administrators or sent securely. Mimecast Business Continuity Email continuity protects email and data against the threat of downtime as a result of system failure, natural disasters, planned maintenance, system upgrades and migrations. Mimecast Mailbox Continuity services significantly reduce the cost and complexity of mitigating these risks and provides uninterrupted access to live and historic email and calendar information. During an outage our service provides real-time inbound, outbound and internal email delivery. The continuity service can be activated and deactivated directly and instantly from the Mimecast console by administrators for the complete organization or for specific groups affected by limited outages. All outage events are fully logged and we also support email top-up services for customers who have to recover their Microsoft Exchange ® environments from backups. The continuity service is capable of reliably and securely supporting customers during short or long-term continuity events. Integration with Microsoft Outlook ® , a native app for Mac ® users and a full suite of mobile apps means employees have seamless access to their email in the event of a disruption or outage. Mimecast Enterprise Information Archiving Our cloud archive consolidates into one store all inbound, outbound and internal email, files and instant messaging in a perpetual, indexed and secure archive. Using our Mimecast Enterprise Information Archiving service, customers can also incorporate legacy data from additional archives into the same searchable store. All data is encrypted and preserved within a Write Once Read Many (WORM) state. Proprietary indexing and retrieval solutions allow customers to search individual mailboxes or the entire corporate archive in seconds. Our mobile, tablet, desktop and web applications ensure that employees can search and make the best use of their entire corporate archive in a fast, reliable and informative way. Intensive logging services cover the use of the archive, and roles and permissions govern what employees can see in the archive based on their role. Our purpose-built ingestion and export services support rapid high-volume extraction, scrubbing and loading of significant quantities of data. Our archive solution retains metadata that arises from gateway and continuity operations and we preserve both received and altered variants of emails that pass through our secure email gateway. Retention options for customers range from individual retentions, to data retained for an entire customer on a perpetual basis. Customers can also purchase the following additional services as part of our Mimecast Enterprise Information Archiving offering: • Recoverability: Email continues to be the preferred business communication tool and de facto data repository. It holds vast amounts of critical and sensitive information. Protecting this data against loss or corruption and managing spiraling inboxes is imperative. Mimecast Sync & Recover for Exchange ® and Office 365 ® offers three key capabilities that expand on the built-in tools provided by Mimecast Archiving alone including Sync & Recover, Granular Retention Management and Mailbox Storage (Stubbing) Management. Sync & Recover delivers rapid and granular recovery of mailboxes, calendar items and contacts lost through inadvertent or malicious deletion or corruption. • Archive Power Tools : This is a series of advanced archiving tools including: • Mimecast Storage Management for Exchange : This enables active mailbox size management, so administrators can optimize email system performance, control costs and support archive policy enforcement. • Mailbox and Folder Tools for Exchange : In an email continuity event or when searching for archived content, access to folder structures and shared mailbox content is key to productivity. This tool makes it easy to replicate individual and shared mailbox folders. • Granular Retention Management : Managing email retention policies can be complex and time-consuming, because different business groups and individuals have requirements that vary how long email should, or is required to be retained. Mimecast Granular Retention Management enables IT teams to centrally apply policies to manage the retention of email content and related metadata.
