NEW YORK — Email has become a crucial part of how companies communicate, but those systems are constantly being attacked by everything from inbox-clogging spam to phishing emails looking to steal secrets and money.
Mimecast Ltd. tries to tackle that as a specialist in email filtering and security. What began as a South African startup is now a global company with a market value of more than $1 billion.
Peter Bauer, Mimecast’s CEO, spoke with The Associated Press recently about the company’s growth since going public in November 2015 and the security threats that businesses currently face.
