Many enterprises rely on Barracuda for its award-winning email security solutions, but the company supports several other enterprise security use cases, such as software-as-a-service (SaaS) and on-premises deployment support, real-time security insights and dashboards, and zero-trust strategy development. Barracuda offers enterprise security solutions that can work across a variety of industries, but their core industry verticals are health care, retail, financial services, education, and government.
Learn how a pair of organizations used Barracuda solutions to manage their specific security use cases:
“We’re quite confident that Microsoft’s built-in security and data protection features are robust and dependable. However, we wanted to have a separate backup solution capable of fast, granular data restores and with unlimited data storage and retention — a ‘belt and braces’ approach just to be completely secure. … Cloud-to-Cloud Backup makes it very easy to find and restore individual files in a very granular way. And it’s just as simple to restore entire mailboxes, for instance, if an employee leaves and later returns.” -Ian Towner, infrastructure services technical lead for the City of York, review of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup
“It really allows you to make more informed decisions and drill down into more things. … With just a few clicks the offending phishing messages could be removed from inboxes and replaced with a default message before users could open them. … Hand on heart, I can say Barracuda Total Email Protection has cut down investigation time for any issues dramatically. It’s so easy to navigate the dashboard and remediate any issues. It’s the difference between taking 2-3 days versus a couple of hours to get to the bottom of an issue.” -Alister MacKinnon, group IT infrastructure manager for Parkmead Group, review of Barracuda Total Email Protection
