Stop Advanced Threats that Evade Traditional Detection Techniques

Modern attacks are rapidly growing in volume and sophistication. New malware strains are designed to evade traditional detection techniques and are often propagated through targeted, zero-hour attacks. And these new malware variants are appearing faster and in greater number than ever before—new ransomware variants alone are predicted to appear at a rate of more than 200 per quarter for the foreseeable future.

Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection is an integrated cloud-based service that analyzes traffic across all of the major threat vectors.

Don’t Be a Ransomware Victim

Ransomware is on the rise. Barracuda’s multi-layered defense protects your data (and your money).

Ransomware is a type of malware that lets attackers find and encrypt your most important data. They then offer to provide the decryption key only if you pay a ransom, within a short time. This is the number one IT security challenge that you face today, with resource-limited small and mid-size businesses the most likely targets.

Cybercriminals exploit a variety of threat vectors, including email, network traffic, user behavior, and application traffic to insert ransomware. Without a comprehensive security strategy that secures all these vectors, you are almost certain to become a victim.

• 47% of businesses have been affected by ransomware.
• The FBI reports that $209 million was paid to ransomware criminals in the first quarter of 2016.
• 59% of ransomware infections are delivered via email attachments and embedded URLs.

Barracuda provides a complete family of solutions that work together to help you detect, prevent, and recover from ransomware attacks.

Stop Email-Borne Threats before They Hit Your Mail Server

Email is the top threat vector for ransomware and other advanced threats. You need to ensure that your business data and users are protected from advanced and constantly evolving security threats. This requires a layer of security beyond the standard Exchange Online Protection (EOP).

Barracuda offers two cloud-based services that protect all your business email in Office 365 with zero impact on email performance. Barracuda Essentials for Office 365 is a comprehensive email security suite that filters every inbound and outbound email to stop spam, viruses, data leaks, and malware. Barracuda Sentinel goes a step further to use an AI engine to inspect all the emails already in your in box to block against impersonation-based fraud such as phishing. Together, they provide the industry’s best and most cost-effective protection for Office 365 users.

Discover Latent Threats in Your Mailboxes

The email files stored in your Office 365 environment almost certainly include latent threats—malicious URLs and attachments that are just waiting for a single distracted click to launch an attack on your network. Given the volume and variety of threat-bearing emails, it’s not realistic to consider a manual approach to finding and deleting them all.

The Barracuda Email Threat Scanner is a cloud-based service available to anyone, at no charge. It scans your Office 365 email folders using advanced analytic techniques. It then delivers a report that details all the latent threats, including risk levels, affected users, and more. The information not only lets you clear out the latent threats in your environment; it also gives you the insights you need to adjust or improve your email security policies and strategies to reduce the chance of more malicious email getting into your system.

Don’t Fall Victim to Phishing, Brand Hijacking, and Domain Fraud

The most sophisticated email-based attacks are the ones that personal. Attackers convincingly impersonate legitimate businesses, colleagues and even customers to obtain sensitive data and money. Barracuda Sentinel uses artificial intelligence engine to add real-time defense from email-based fraud.

Barracuda Sentinel automatically learns the unique communication patterns of each individual organization. It uses this knowledge to find anomalous signals in the attributes of the incoming message’s metadata and content. It also adds DMARC (Domain-Based Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance) to track potentially sensitive emails being sent from your organization.

Turn Employees into a Line of Defense Against Phishing AttacksM

Phishing attacks are more convincing than ever, and they can be difficult to spot. To complicate matters, the attackers are targeting unsecured personal mail accounts more than ever. As a last line of defense, employees need to get better at spotting socially engineered spear phishing attacks.
