First Distribution has announced a new partnership with Mimecast to make its integrated cyber-resilience platform available to partners across Africa.
Through this partnership, First Distribution will provide African partners with access to Mimecast’s comprehensive cyber-resilience platform, enabling them to help customers secure email, data and AI-powered environments.
Backed by more than 24 trillion behavioural signals each year and over two decades of behavioural intelligence, Mimecast helps organisations identify, prevent and respond to phishing, ransomware and business email compromise attacks before they result in financial loss, data exposure or business disruption.
As African organisations accelerate Digital Transformation, Cloud adoption and the use of Artificial Intelligence, the cyber-risk landscape continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace. Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting the human element through sophisticated email attacks, social engineering, collaboration platforms and emerging AI-driven techniques to gain access to sensitive information.
Simultaneously, organisations are navigating increasingly complex regulatory requirements, data protection obligations and business continuity expectations, making cyber-resilience a critical business priority.
Businesses today require more than standalone security tools. They need integrated, intelligent capabilities that reduce human risk, protect communications and critical data, strengthen compliance and secure rapidly evolving digital and AI environments. Through this partnership, First Distribution and Mimecast are helping partners deliver these capabilities to organisations across the continent.
Yolandi Landsberg, Mimecast Brand Manager at First Distribution, said: “Africa’s organisations require solutions that go beyond traditional email security to address the growing challenges associated with data protection, human risk and AI-driven threats.
“By adding Mimecast to our cybersecurity portfolio, we are equipping our partners with a market-leading cyber-resilience platform that enables them to deliver greater value to their customers while helping them navigate an increasingly complex threat environment.”
