You ever drive by a prison or juvenile correction facility and see the prisoners outside in the

0:09.8

yard? Am I the only one who immediately starts looking at ways they can escape? Seriously,

0:16.4

I've parked and stared at prison fences multiple times when I was young, looking at how high

0:21.5

the fence goes, examining the razor wire on top, watching the gate, and these gates are

0:26.8

typically doubled up. You can go in the first gate and then they close it behind you, and then

0:31.3

the second gate opens. They never open both gates at once. And I like to look up at the guard

0:36.4

towers to see if anyone is up there. I'm sure they're looking back down at me. The windows of a

prison are typically too small for a human to squeeze through. They like to be really narrow

1:47.4

more email and collaboration security. After all, you may already have Microsoft 365 protecting

1:53.3

your workspace. That's good enough, right? What, what could you need? Except one of your employees

1:59.0

just opened a phishing email and Microsoft 365 couldn't hand a little loan. Now your company has

ground to a screeching halt. Transformers, stop transforming. Circuits, short circuit it. I'll

be cousin an email. Next time, take five minutes to set up Mimecast. It's a security solution specifically

2:17.2

designed for email and workplace collaboration. It detects suspicious emails and diversifies your

security stacks. So you're not just relying on one generalized solution. Get another layer of
