LEXINGTON, Mass., Aug. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mimecast, a leading global Human Risk Management platform, has commissioned and is publishing a new study revealing the potential economic impact of Mimecast Advanced Email Security on organizations, based on a composite of the value Mimecast has brought six of its customers. The study was conducted on behalf of Mimecast by Forrester Consulting, a leading provider of independent and objective research-based consulting. Mimecast, an AI-powered, enterprise email security solution, blocks email-based threats such as phishing, malware, and business email compromise (BEC) with flexible deployment methods.
Mimecast commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential ROI enterprises may realize by deploying Mimecast, compared to their prior experience using on-premises legacy solutions, other email security solutions, or native email security infrastructure. To conduct this research, Forrester interviewed seven representatives from six organizations, aggregating the experiences and results into a single composite organization to provide three-year, risk-adjusted present value (PV) quantified benefits.
Based on Forrester’s interviews and financial analysis, a composite organization experienced benefits of $2.13 million over three years, with $1.53 million in net value and 255% ROI. Key benefits include:
“Investing in cybersecurity is now a business imperative, but organizations struggle to identify providers that offer comprehensive, flexible solutions with proven outcomes,” said Mimecast Chief Executive Officer, Marc van Zadelhoff, “Our Forrester Consulting study quantifies the value proposition Mimecast’s advanced solutions bring to our customers, and we’re committed to continue innovating and expanding our offerings to ensure organizations can stay ahead of the shifting threat landscape without sacrificing their bottom line and reputation.”
Additional findings from the research revealed through strengthened security with Mimecast, the composite organization reduced its chance of being compromised, which not only helped to avoid the losses associated with breaches, including revenue losses, contract cancelations, and fines, but also protected its brand and reputation by avoiding unwanted email sends and negative publicity.
