Overview
Government agencies serve as the guardians of public trust, which means they have a responsibility to secure citizen data and other sensitive information, while safeguarding the communities they serve. Today, many local governments are trying to do this with limited cybersecurity budgets. These budgetary constraints, in combination with limited IT resources, prevent many organizations from implementing security solutions at a scale and pace required to adequately protect them from today’s evolving cyberthreat landscape.
Mimecast helps government agencies overcome these distinct challenges by providing an affordable, multi-layered email security solution that empowers customers to defend against email-borne and web-based threats, including phishing, social engineering, brand impersonation, ransomware and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, executed by criminal hackers, hacktivists, insiders and foreign states. Not only does this keep citizen data secure, but it ensures maximum system uptime, so both the public and government employees can access information, pay bills and update services quickly and seamlessly.
State and local government agencies trust Mimecast for cyber resilience. With Mimecast, customers can:
• Dramatically reduce the risk of sophisticated attacks including phishing, ransomware weaponized attachments, and malicious URLs;
• Reduce the burden on strained IT staff through Mimecast’s single pane of glass for email security, web security, archiving and continuity;
• Keep services running and quickly restore data when attacks do happen;
• Align budgetary constraints with an affordable, predictable cost of ownership;
• Empower employees with security awareness knowledge, making them an asset in protecting against cyberattacks; and
• Store data with the assurance and confidence that it is protected at Federal standards – located entirely on U.S. soil and staffed with U.S. Citizens.
Government agencies get a partner with a global 24x7x365 presence (not just a security vendor) dedicated to helping them build a strong cybersecurity and cyber resilience strategy.
