Mimecast Cloud Archive

Mimecast is a highly formidable, massively adopted global titan in cloud cybersecurity, operating as the primary, fierce rival to Proofpoint in the enterprise email security space. Mimecast Cloud Archive is fundamentally built into the exact same unified, highly robust cloud architecture as their security gateway. This "OS-like" unification provides massive benefits; an email doesn't need to be bounced around between different software systems. As an email hits the Mimecast gateway, it is instantly scanned for malware, and simultaneously, immutably written to the massive Cloud Archive. A highly unique and massively popular superpower of the Mimecast platform is its absolute focus on "Business Continuity." If Microsoft Office 365 suffers a massive global outage and goes completely offline, employees in a Mimecast-protected enterprise do not stop working. They simply open the Mimecast mobile app or web portal, and they have instant, uninterrupted access to their entire historical email archive, and they can continue to send and receive live emails directly through the Mimecast infrastructure. Beyond this massive resilience, Mimecast Cloud Archive provides incredibly fast, 7-second SLA search guarantees for employees. Unlike legacy archives that are clunky and only accessible by the IT or Legal team, Mimecast heavily empowers the end-user. An employee can use the native Outlook plugin to instantly search 10 years of their own archived emails in seconds, completely eliminating "Help Desk" tickets for recovered emails. For organizations prioritizing massive operational resilience and end-user empowerment alongside compliance, Mimecast is an elite platform.
