COMPANY NEWS: Barracuda Networks, a trusted partner and leading provider for cloud-enabled security solutions, furthered its commitment to deliver leading email security solutions which are easy to buy, deploy, and use with the announcement today of three new Email Protection plans which scale to meet customers’ evolving threat protection needs. Barracuda’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. 

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. According to Gartner®, “Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (MSDO) offers a wide set of email security capabilities, but due to the rise in business email compromises, account takeovers and other sophisticated attacks, many times some malicious emails are actually missed by MSDO, and in fact by any other email gateway solutions. Therefore, organisations should strongly consider integrating third-party solutions to strengthen their email security capabilities.Aside from traditional gateway solutions, security and risk management leaders should evaluate API-based solutions to act as an additional layer of protection.”1.

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

According to an SE Labs test report published November 17, 2021, Barracuda’s email security solutions provided the best level of malicious threat detection efficacy. SE Labs carried out extensive testing of top email security providersandtheir ability to detect various threat types including phishing, social engineering, business email compromise,and scamming. Barracuda came out on the top and was recognised in the SE Labs report as“Best Email Security Service.” See the full report here: https://selabs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/annual-report-2021.pdf.

Today, we continue to lead with our unique combination of gateway and API-based AItechnology to detect and remediateemail threatsin real timefor Office 365 customers.”

“Email attacks are getting more sophisticated, so we expanded our Advanced Email Security test to include threats like business email compromise this year,”said Simon Edwards, SE Labs founder.“Addressing these types of targeted attacks was a strength for Barracuda, which helped it stand out as Best Email Security Service, based on our intelligence-led testing.”
