Cybersecurity company Barracuda Networks has unveiled advancements to its Barracuda Email Protection product. These updates, including flexible deployment options, improved security capabilities, and more, make it easier than ever for organisations of all sizes and IT environments to defend against increasingly sophisticated and frequent modern cyberattacks with robust email security that is easy to buy, deploy, and use.
“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,” said Barracuda Chief Product Officer Neal Bradbury. “As threats grow more advanced, so do the security tools organisations need to manage, creating complexity that overwhelms many security teams and hinders their ability to derive meaningful value.”
“Organisations often struggle to balance end-to-end protection with limited resources,” he added. “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.”
Barracuda Email Protection defends against all types of email threats with a multi-layered approach that includes both pre- and post-delivery defences. Updates include:
-
Flexible deployment options for any environment: Organisations will have the flexibility to rapidly deploy Barracuda Email Protection in-line, either with or without modifying their mail exchange (MX) records or through Application Programming Interface (API) integration, within minutes for immediate protection. These options ensure seamless deployment tailored to fit any IT environment, regardless of complexity or configuration.
-
Proactive account compromise prevention: Barracuda now monitors both internal and outbound email activity to detect early signs of phishing and suspicious behaviour, providing organisations with an additional layer of defence against account takeover. By analysing all email traffic, Barracuda enables faster detection of potential threats and proactively alerts administrators, empowering them to take instant action and neutralise risks before they escalate.
-
Value-driven plans for comprehensive protection: Organisations 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 organisations receive complete protection without having to compromise on security or piece together and manage multiple, disparate tools.
