As a system integrator, our focus lies in delivering system integration as a service. Our approach is customer-centric, tailoring solutions based on individual client relationships. Suppose a scenario where a customer was using Office 365 and noticed a lack of attachment security in their inboxes due to missing Office 365 E or E5 licenses. This resulted in an influx of spam emails, recognizing the significant threat posed by email-based attacks. In response, we conducted an assessment and recommended Barracuda Total Email Protection. We seamlessly redirected Office 365 traffic to the existing Barracuda solution, effectively addressing the attachment security concerns.
We have a premium selection within our environment and use Barracuda. It stops threats and malicious messages but also detects stuff you don't want on your computer and in your environment, so we're really happy. You don't have to do anything. You get emails to notify you.
Barracuda Essentials is used for anyone that wants to protect their email. It helps with protecting against spam, malware, and encrypting your email messages. This is an option with all the email messages. They have other add-ons which use artificial intelligence to protect you against fishing attempts. They have employee training against email phishing attempts. There are nice packages of other options that can be added to Barracuda Essentials.

The primary use is to back up our Office 365. It also comes with email security and the Message Archiver. Our Office 365 backup is probably the most important piece and the Message Archiver is the second most important piece. It archives every email that comes in, it's not a backup type of an archive. You can use it for a backup, but it doesn't put it in folders, it's not for restoring someone's mailbox. It's just for searching for emails in case there's some type of litigation that requires us to retrieve someone's email messages.
The popularity of Microsoft 365 means criminals test and design their attacks to bypass its native security features. And that means you need additional layers of defense. With Advanced Threat Protection enabled, Barracuda uses multiple layers of detection, including signature, static, and behavioral analysis, along with CPU-emulation sandboxing to accurately detect and block zero-hour targeted attacks and ransomware.
