Comparison: Security Gateway vs. Mimecast

![SG-Comparison-Mimecast-FINAL020821](https://blog.mdaemon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SG-Comparison-Mimecast-FINAL020821.png?width=400&name=SG-Comparison-Mimecast-FINAL020821.png)

We're seeing a growing interest and adoption of Security Gateway for Email Servers by IT admins of Mimecast and other competitive products. The value they cite is Security Gateway's easy to use interface and cost savings (both in time and money). [See why they switch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXDl6H7qPSE&t=9s).

Did You Know... [95% of all attacks](https://securityboulevard.com/2020/12/staggering-phishing-statistics-in-2020/) targeting business networks start with a phishing email.

Customization Tip: Recall Messages in MDaemon

![how to use message recall](https://blog.mdaemon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Videos/Video%20Shots/how%20to%20use%20message%20recall.jpg?width=300&name=how%20to%20use%20message%20recall.jpg)

MDaemon's Message Recall feature is better than ever in version 20. Now, the sender is no longer limited to a certain time period to recall messages sent to other local email accounts. And by default, the last 1,000 emails sent via an authenticated session are eligible for recall. [Watch this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21gHIZHsWQ0) to see the four ways a user can recall a sent email message.

Industry Spotlight: Microsoft Accounts Targeted

Recently, cybersecurity criminals used an email gateway certification to target a small number of specific Microsoft 365 environments in a highly sophisticated attack.
