In the fast-paced digital world, email remains a cornerstone of business communication. Every day, a staggering 361.6 billion emails are sent and received globally, a number set to rise to 392.5 billion within the next two years. This exponential growth highlights the increasing reliance on email in our daily business operations. However, with its ease, speed, and cost-effectiveness comes a significant drawback—email is the preferred entry point for cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities and gain access to sensitive data. The consequences of these breaches can be devastating, ranging from reputational damage to operational disruptions, and significant financial loss.
Alarmingly, over 90% of cyberattacks start with an email. These attacks are becoming more sophisticated, often designed to bypass even the most robust defences, such as those provided by Microsoft. The evolving threat landscape demands a more advanced approach to email security—one that not only addresses current threats but anticipates future risks.

Why Secure Email is More Critical—and Challenging—Than Ever
The shift towards remote working has made organizations more vulnerable to cyberattacks. With employees accessing business emails from home, hotels, coffee shops, and even personal devices, the risk of falling victim to email-based threats has never been greater. The distractions of working outside a traditional office environment can lead even the most cautious employees to inadvertently open a malicious email or click on a harmful link.
In this landscape, relying solely on platforms like Microsoft 365 for email security may not be sufficient. Mimecast offers a more comprehensive approach, ensuring that organizations do not have to choose between security and flexibility. Whether through a secure email gateway or an integrated cloud email security solution, Mimecast provides world-class protection that is both effective and easy to manage.
