More than 200,000 global customers trust Barracuda to safeguard their employees, data, and applications from a wide range of threats. Barracuda provides easy, comprehensive and affordable solutions for email protection, application protection, network protection and data protection.
Fast deployment with no MX records changes required. Immediate access to a large volume of historical email data.
- Email data ingestions — API-based integration with Microsoft 365 ingests large amounts of historical email data, serving as the foundation for training the AI model.
- Threat data platform — Shared threat intelligence data is sourced from across products to improve accuracy and speed of detection. Partnerships with third parties further improve the volume and quality of data.
Email data is used to train Barracuda’s AI models to recognize patterns and behaviors associated with different types of emails, both benign and malicious.
- Communication graph creation — AI algorithms create a communication graph for each user within your organization, relying on email metadata such as email addresses, domains, and IP addresses as well as relationships or interactions between these entities.
- Data privacy and compliance — Handling email data with care is essential, especially if it contains sensitive or personal information. It ensures compliance with data privacy regulations and implement necessary safeguards to protect your data integrity and privacy.
Barracuda AI relies on content analysis, anomaly detection, and natural language processing to scrutinize all aspects of the email for malicious intent.
- Natural language processing (NLP) — The AI analyzes content of incoming messages for sentiment, context, tone, and potentially malicious intent.
- Pattern recognition — The AI identifies known phishing patterns and signatures, allowing it to swiftly recognize and flag suspicious emails.
- Anomaly detection — Beyond known patterns, AI looks for anomalies in email behavior and characteristics. It identifies irregularities in sender behavior, unusual email content, or deviations from established communication patterns.
Barracuda AI continuously monitors incoming messages for signs of threats such as phishing or impersonation and takes automated remediation actions to quarantine or delete malicious emails.
- Automated remediation — Depending on the severity and type of threat, AI can take automated remediation actions, such as deleting or redirecting suspicious emails to a junk folder.
- User alerting and education — AI will generate real-time alerts to notify users and security teams of an attack. These alerts can include information on the nature of the threat and recommended actions.
AI continually learns and adapts to new threats. As new data becomes available, its models and heuristics are automatically updated to improve the accuracy of detection.
- Feedback loop — Feedback from user-reported emails and security analysts’ insights is automatically used to retrain Barracuda AI models to improve their performance over time.
- Lower false positives — The continuous and self-learning nature of Barracuda AI improves over time by fine-tuning email security, reducing the risk of false alarms and minimizing disruptions for legitimate users.
Data is archived outside your operational email environment in a dedicated tamper-proof repository, ensuring it will be retained securely for as long as your need it without risk of corruption or deletion.
Reducing the volume of data managed by your email server can slash costs dramatically while increasing operational efficiency. Users stay within storage limits without exporting PST files or purging data—possibly putting your regulatory status at risk.
Our policy-based approach uses granular retention policies to ensure that you automatically retain each item of data securely for as long as it is needed. This means you can confidently demonstrate you are meeting government and regulatory requirements, and operating defensible deletion policies.
It is easy to demonstrate the accuracy and completeness of your archive, and to provide the chain of custody for every item of data. Role-based security controls ensure that only authorized personnel have access to data within the archive, and comprehensive audit trails record every system and user activity.
The indexed archive provides iterative, multi-level search and tagging capabilities to support complex audit and discovery exercises. This drastically cuts the time and effort required to respond to discovery requests.
The intuitive, role-based interface makes it easy to quickly find specific messages when needed, and to demonstrate the accuracy and completeness of data returned for each case. Selected data can be placed on legal hold on a case‑by‑case basis for as long as needed, then exported as needed for analysis or disclosure.
Barracuda archiving solutions lets users easily access their archived data wherever they are working and from any device.
The multi-function Microsoft Outlook Add-In provides an integrated experience within their familiar Outlook client, and enables them to work seamlessly with both mailbox and archived data. It also retains a local cache of archived messages to provide ongoing access while they are offline.
A standalone desktop client and a web interface to ensure anytime/anywhere access to archives via any device.
The Barracuda Message Archiver is available as a physical appliance or as an integrated virtual solution for on-site or in-the-cloud deployment. Purchase and configure directly in the AWS Marketplace, or install locally on VMware or Hyper-V. It can be configured to mirror data to the Barracuda Cloud, ensuring secure long-term retention and storage, and making it easier and quicker to recover from disasters.
The Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service provides a completely cloud‑based solution, managed and supported by Barracuda with no customer software or hardware required. Barracuda’s extensive and robust global cloud infrastructure ensures security, and centralized management through the Cloud Control portal makes it simple.
