Best Thing Since Sliced Bread - ENTRUST Technology Consulting

Highlights from
Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
By Mitchell R. Sowards
ENTRUST hosts quarterly “Technology Showcase” events to introduce new products,
services and trends in technology to our customers and guests. Last month, we were
very excited to host “The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread,” a demonstration of enhanced
Security and Email protection services. In this whitepaper, we’ve included highlights
from the event to to bring you up to speed.
Introducing Trustwave and Mimecast, two security suites featured during last month’s
event. Trustwave offers next generation security products to keep your systems and
data safe from sophisticated hackers and spammers. Mimecast offers email
management solutions to address one of the biggest challenges facing organizations
today.
Web Security Facts

60% of the top 100 US Web sites contain malware. Gartner ®

75% of the Web sites that serve malware are legitimate sites which deliver it
unknowingly. Gartner ®

59% of respondents said they’ve seen a jump in malware infections over the past
12 months due, specifically, to insecure mobile devices including laptops,
smartphones, and tablets while 51% said their organization has experienced a
data breach due to insecure devices. Ponemon®

12% of targeted malware were detected by traditional Anti-virus solutions, based
on investigation conducted by Trustwave SpiderLabs.

In 2007, traditional protections blocked 97% of attacks. In 2011, that number
dropped to 40%, leaving you vulnerable to 60% of attacks. Global Security
Report 2011
The bottom line is that the number one way that computers get compromised is through
simple web browsing in seemingly legitimate places (not email or adult sites), and
traditional protections are no longer sufficient.

Mimecast Unified Email Management (UEM): Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
As important as enhanced web security is, it pales in comparison to enhanced email
management. For years, customers have been asking for an email archive solution that:
 Provides automatic and transparent email archives without any user interaction
or effort
 Keeps local mailboxes “clean” to reduce the workload on servers and the huge
burden of backing up years of emails
 Provides a fast and powerful search tool to find old emails no matter where they
are filed
 Provides automatic enforcement of retention policies

Mimecast UEM is the perfect combination of on-premise and cloud services, delivering
email security, continuity and archiving in the cloud.
UEM provides essential cloud services for Microsoft Exchange, providing total endto-end control of business email, while minimizing risk and reducing cost and
complexity. Mimecast UEM offers the following features:
 Email Security: Blocks spam and viruses “in the cloud” before they get to your
servers or PCs
 100% Email Continuity: Guarantees that even if your on premise email server is
“down” that your users can continue to send and receive email through a cloud
based failover service until such time as your primary mail server is available
again.
 Bottomless Email Archive: ALL your email (external and internal) gets
automatically and safely archived in a fashion that guarantees
 Compliance for regulatory purposes
 Legal hold and legal research as needed
 Automatic enforcement of retention policies
 Large Email Attachments: Allows you to send emails with large attachments to
any recipient anywhere, regardless of the size restrictions recipients might have
in place
 Secure Email Transmission: Allows you to enforce encryption policies to
ensure that email is transmitted securely – safe from interception in transit and
ensuring compliance with HIPAA and other regulations regarding privacy of client
information
 All Features are delivered through a Convenient Outlook Interface: Users
don’t need to learn anything especially new. They can continue to handle all
email operations, including those on old, archived data, through the familiar
Outlook interface.
 Users can continue to file emails in the same folders: Mimecast will replicate
that folder structure in the archive and make it visible and accessible through
Outlook the same way as users have always accessed Outlook folders.
