Barracuda Introduces Updates to Email Protection Solution

Barracuda Networks, Inc. recently announced advancements to Barracuda Email Protection, a solution that provides AI-powered protection against advanced threats.

Email security enhancements target complex threats

The updates to the email protection solution include flexible deployment options, enhanced security capabilities, and more advancements to make it easier for organizations of varying sizes and IT environments to defend against increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats.

“Email remains the number one attack vector and securing it has never been more urgent– especially as cybercriminals leverage AI to improve and scale their attacks. As threats grow more advanced, so do the security tools organizations need to manage, creating complexity that overwhelms many security teams and hinders their ability to derive meaningful value,” said Neal Bradbury, chief product officer at Barracuda, in a press release. “Organizations often struggle to balance end-to-end protection with limited resources. Barracuda is addressing these challenges head-on by delivering industry-leading security that is comprehensive, cost effective, and easy to deploy within minutes, so businesses can stay protected without compromise.”

Flexibility, efficiency, and power among the touted benefits

Barracuda Email Protection provides robust email security that is easy to use, buy, and deploy. The solution defends against various types of email threats with a multi-layered approach that includes both pre- and post-delivery defenses.

New updates to the solution include the following:

• Flexible deployment options for any environment: This update allows organizations to have the flexibility to rapidly deploy Barracuda Email Protection in-line, either with or without modifying their mail exchange (MX) records, or through API integration, within minutes for immediate protection. This allows for ensuring seamless deployment tailored to fit any IT environment, regardless of complexity or configuration.
• Proactive account compromise prevention: The organization now monitors internal and outbound email activity to detect early signs of phishing and suspicious behavior, providing organizations with an additional layer of defense against account takeover. Barracuda enables faster detection of potential threats and proactively alerts administrators, empowering them to take instant action and neutralize risks before they escalate through the analysis of all email traffic.
• Value-driven plans for comprehensive protection: Enterprises using the solution can now easily access all the essential layers of email security– prevention, detection, automated incident response, and email authentication– in new value-driven plans that provide full protection at prices that fit their needs. These core security components are included as standard in every plan, ensuring organizations receive complete protection without having to compromise on security or piece together and manage multiple, disparate tools.
• Complimentary onboarding and setup support: To make the deployment process as easy as possible, Barracuda will offer free onboarding and setup support. This hands-on service will allow the organization’s environments to be optimally protected from the start.

“As a leading provider of fresh produce across North America and international markets, we rely on secure email communication to ensure that we deliver the safest, highest quality products. Protecting sensitive information– from order details to shipping logistics– is vital for maintaining customer trust,” said Jay Glatt, senior vice president of technology at The Giumarra Companies. “Barracuda Email Protection has been a game-changer for us. It provides robust security at a price that fits our budget, and it is incredibly easy to deploy, configure, and use with a single-pane-of-glass console. As our environment and security needs continue to evolve, so do Barracuda’s capabilities. I have complete confidence that we are fully protected with Barracuda, and we wouldn’t consider trusting anyone else with our email security.”

Focus Technology’s Vice President of Managed Services and Technology Malakai Freeman says these new updates will help the organization “deliver comprehensive, powerful security without compromising on ease of use or affordability.”

“Barracuda’s protection is unmatched, which is why we include Barracuda Email Protection as part of our base service offering to our customers– it’s hands-down the best email security solution available,” Freeman said.
