Globally, email attacks are becoming more sophisticated, putting organisations at risk of data breaches and financial loss. As a result, security teams need to find new ways to combat threats like phishing and email compromise. Mimecast has constantly been at the forefront of addressing and preventing such threats. In an exclusive interview with , Werno Gevers, regional manager for the company, discusses the changes in the threat landscape and how organisations can build stronger security postures.
