The process involves acquiring and installing a software component designed to integrate Mimecast’s email security services with the Microsoft Outlook application. This component facilitates secure communication and provides access to Mimecast’s features directly within the Outlook environment, enhancing email management and protection. An example of this would be a user clicking on a “Get Add-in” button within the Outlook application, which redirects them to a page where the required component is available for procurement.
Implementation is crucial for organizations seeking to bolster their email security posture and improve end-user experience. It offers streamlined access to functionalities like secure messaging, large file sending, and email archiving directly within the familiar Outlook interface. Historically, organizations relied on separate applications for these features, leading to workflow inefficiencies. This integration simplifies processes and provides a centralized point of control for email security measures.
