Mimecast, an email and data security company, will discuss how organisations can build a comprehensive cyber resilience strategy for email as part of its participation at GITEX Technology Week.
The recent Mimecast Email Security Risk Assessment (ESRA) report revealed that the number of impersonation attacks detected during the quarter rose more than 400 percent last quarter.
“At GITEX 2017, we plan to make visitors aware of the top cyber-attack techniques being adopted by cybercriminals and demonstrate how to defend against these attacks and human errors,” said Brandon Bekker, managing director, Mimecast MEA. “Organisations struggle with being consistent with the security training offered to employees, if it is done at all. We will help educate both existing and potential customers that conditioning employees to recognise phishing email is critical to reaching the end goal of identifying and reporting attacks to security teams to minimise business impact.”
Using GITEX 2017 as a platform, Mimecast will highlight how its cloud-based email security services and capabilities of Targeted Threat Protection including Internal Email Protect, a cloud-based security service providing threat capabilities for internally generated email, helps reduce the risk, complexity and costs traditionally associated with protecting email.
Mimecast’s security experts will discuss the top email attack strategies being used by cybercriminals and demonstrate how they work by performing a series of live hacks for visitors at the stand throughout the duration of the five-day event.
