Mimecast Named Leader in 2024 Omdia Universe for Email

LEXINGTON, Mass., Dec. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mimecast Limited (Mimecast), an advanced email and collaboration security company, today announced that it has been named a Leader in the “Omdia Universe: Email Security 2024,” report. Omdia’s analysts performed an in-depth review of the email security market and analyzed vendors based on their attributes, features and ability to protect organization now and into the future. The in-depth review uses Omdia’s market forecasting data and enterprise insights survey data.

According to Mimecast’s recent Global Threat Intelligence Report, 97% of organizations have been targeted by an email-based phishing attack and 76% expect a serious email-based compromise will impact their company this year. Email remains the number one attack vector and its protection is paramount.

According to Omdia “vendor execution scores showed positive results in terms of customer experience, particularly with a focus on providing implementation and managed security services.” (Page 13)
