What a listing means for your business
Mimecast email security products protect the inboxes of millions of enterprise users globally. A Segasec/Mimecast flag means your domain is blocked inside enterprise email security for organizations using Mimecast, and their active takedown capability means suspension notices to your hosting and registrar are a real risk.
