What Barracuda Email Security Protects Against

Barracuda Email Security provides protection against:

• Phishing and spear-phishing attacks

• Ransomware attachments

• Malicious URLs and drive-by downloads

• Business Email Compromise (BEC)

• CEO and supplier impersonation

• Spam and spoofing attempts

• Outbound data leakage

Unlike basic filtering systems, Barracuda combines multiple detection engines to reduce false negatives while maintaining operational continuity.

How Barracuda Email Security Works

Barracuda Email Security inspects every email using multiple detection layers.

Advanced Threat Intelligence

• Global threat intelligence feeds

• Domain and sender reputation scoring

• Real-time URL scanning

Attachment Sandboxing

Suspicious attachments are executed in isolated environments to detect malicious behaviour before delivery.

Impersonation & Spoofing Detection

Barracuda analyses writing patterns, sender anomalies, and lookalike domains to prevent executive and supplier fraud attempts.

This layered approach significantly reduces the likelihood of user interaction with malicious content.

Why Barracuda Instead of Basic Spam Filtering?

Standard email filtering:

• Relies heavily on basic spam detection

• May not detect advanced impersonation

• Often lacks sandboxing capabilities

Barracuda Email Security:

• Uses behavioural and intelligence-based detection

• Scans attachments in secure environments

• Protects against impersonation and BEC attacks

• Provides reporting suitable for insurers and audits

For Microsoft 365 organisations, advanced email security is critical to preventing ransomware and identity compromise.
