What is the primary function of Mimecast's Email Security?

The primary function of Mimecast's Email Security is to protect organizations from email-based threats. This involves safeguarding the email environment against various types of attacks, such as phishing, malware, and spam, which are common vectors for cyber threats. By implementing advanced threat detection and response capabilities, Mimecast's Email Security helps ensure that sensitive information remains protected and that organizations can operate safely in the digital landscape. The solution evaluates incoming emails in real-time, applying various mechanisms to identify and block potential threats before they reach users’ inboxes, thereby preventing data breaches and minimizing risk.

While enhancing user productivity and managing internal communications are important aspects of an organization's overall operations, they do not represent the primary objective of Mimecast's Email Security. These functions may be results of using an effective email security solution, as it allows users to focus on their tasks without being hindered by threats. Automating marketing emails is also not within the primary scope of Mimecast’s Email Security offerings; such functions are typically associated with dedicated marketing tools.
