Barracuda Networks Announces New Email Protection Plans

Barracuda Networks has announced three new Email Protection plans which scale to meet customers’ evolving threat protection needs. The firm’s comprehensive solutions combine gateway and API-based AI technology to detect and remediate threats and reduce the risk that a malicious attack succeeds by immediately and automatically eliminating the user’s ability to view or launch flagged emails.

“The threat landscape has evolved and, coupled with the gap in security professional talent facing most businesses, protecting against these threats is extremely complex. Barracuda Email Protection offers customers complete protection by combining gateway defense, API-based inbox defense, incident response, data protection, and user security awareness capabilities,” said Don MacLennan, SVP, Engineering & Product Management, Email Protection, Barracuda Networks.

 “Barracuda was the first to bring an “API approach” to impersonation and phishing protection — leveraging AI and machine learning. Today, we continue to lead with our unique combination of gateway and API-based AI technology to detect and remediate email threats in real time for Office 365 customers.”

Recent attacks have shown that Office 365 native security alone has gaps and that third-party solutions are required to ensure customers are fully protected.

With Barracuda, customers receive an integrated and validated suite of capabilities to protect their people and business which includes:

• Threatprevention: Prevent attacks from getting through by combining email-gateway defenses, API-based inbox defense, and web security.
• Post-delivery detection and response:Identify and limit the impact of any threats that reach users with automated response and user security awareness training.
• Data protection:Ensure compliance and stay productive during downtime. Back up important Office 365 email and data to recover easily from malware attacks or lost data.
• Automated workflows:Easily create custom workflows to completely automate incident response.
• SIEM/SOAR/XDR integrations: Public-facing APIs for integrating with third-party platforms to enable seamless and consistent response to security events.
