Mimecast Takes Top Honors in Two Categories at SC Awards Europe 2026
Best Email Security Solution and Best Data Leakage Prevention Solution honors awarded by an independent panel of senior cybersecurity practitioners
LEXINGTON, Mass. — Mimecast, a global leader in securing humans, data & AI, has been named a winner in two categories at SC Awards Europe 2026: Best Email Security Solution and Best Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) Solution. Winning two premier categories in one of the industry's most rigorous recognition programs is a testament to the innovation driving Mimecast's platform, and the trust customers place in it.
For more than 25 years, the SC Awards Europe have set the benchmark for excellence in the cybersecurity industry. Organized by SC Media and judged by a hand-picked, independent panel of senior practitioners, an SC Award reflects the unbiased assessment of the people organizations trust most to evaluate security products.
The threats facing organizations today arrive from every direction and touch every layer of the business. According to Mimecast's 2026 State of Human Risk Report, 53% of organizations report increased phishing volume, and 66% expect insider-related data loss to increase over the next 12 months. The risk is external and internal, and as AI adoption becomes more prevalent in the workforce, it is only growing.
Most security tools were not built for this. They catch what they have seen before. Rules and policies describe yesterday's risk, not today's. And they were not built for a workforce where 8% of employees generate 80% of the risk to the data they create, access, and move. The SC Awards recognized Mimecast's response to both sides of that challenge.
