USE CASE

Stop phishing attacks

Phishing attackers deceive employees into giving up credentials or financial data. Mimecast’s phishing protection solution analyzes email behavior and stops threats before accounts are compromised.

THE PROBLEM

3.4 billion phishing emails target organizations daily

Growing sophistication

The volume and sophistication of obfuscation techniques makes it hard for technologies to accurately identify phishing links.

Evolving methods

Attackers are continuously evolving their methods, now often using GenAI to craft better emails and extend their reach.

Human vulnerability

Users are constantly context switching, easily falling for phishing scams when they are distracted or in a hurry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if phishing protection software is actually working?

Phishing protection is working when suspicious emails are filtered, access to malicious links is blocked at-click, and you notice fewer users reporting emails with unexpected credential prompts. A good solution provides clear reporting that shows detected threats, blocked impersonation attempts, and patterns that indicate overall risk levels are decreasing.

Why do phishing attacks still get through even when I already use an email security tool?

Phishing attacks can bypass basic filters because many tools only scan messages at delivery. Modern attacks use redirects, QR codes, and AI-generated content that activate later or hide intent. Multi-stage detection, behavioral analysis, and URL scanning at-click help close these gaps.

What’s the difference between phishing protection and full BEC protection?

Phishing protection focuses on blocking malicious links, attachments, and credential-harvesting pages. Business email compromise protection focuses on identity signals, impersonation detection, and anomalous communication behavior. Organizations need both because phishing attacks target users’ actions, while BEC attacks target trust and identity.

How can I stop employees from clicking phishing links without slowing down their work?

You can reduce risky clicks by filtering suspicious emails before they reach inboxes, using both pre-delivery and at-click URL scanning, and providing lightweight security awareness prompts. These protections let your employees work quickly while reducing their cognitive load and the chance of missing subtle warning signs.

What should I do immediately if someone clicks a phishing link at my company?

Reset affected passwords, review recent login activity, and check for unusual account behavior. Notify IT or security teams quickly. Advanced tools can analyze the clicked URL, determine whether credential theft occurred, and help contain any attempted compromise.
