Essentials

Barracuda Essentials helps organizations prepare, migrate, and operate faster, safer, and more efficiently in Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, and G Suite. It provides critical multi-layer security, archiving, and backup for Office 365.

Stop Spam and Malware with Inbound Filtering

Barracuda Essentials quickly filters and sanitizes every email before it is delivered to your mail server to protect you from email-borne threats. Using virus scanning, spam scoring, real-time intent analysis, URL link protection, reputation checks, and other techniques, Barracuda provides you with the best possible level of protection.

Barracuda Central, our global 24×7 threat operations center, constantly monitors the internet for new threats across all attack vectors, and feeds this intelligence into Essentials’ filtering technology.

Block Advanced Threats

Some of the most dangerous threats come from advanced threats that are designed to evade email filters. Barracuda Essentials leverages Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection, a cloud-based service that defends against ransomware and other malware, including zero-day attacks and advanced threats.

This level of security does not have to come at the price of performance. Barracuda Essentials uses multiple, layered analytic engines, including behavioral analytics, static analysis, and finally CPU-emulation sandboxing to detect unknown and evasive threats.

Protect Outbound Email and Stop Data Leaks

Employees can inadvertently cause internal systems to become a source for spam or other malicious mail. Outbound filtering stops outbound attacks originating from inside the network—which not only protects your partners and customers, but also keeps you from being added to spam block lists.

Barracuda Essentials data loss protection and email encryption keeps sensitive data—such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, HIPAA data, and more—from leaving your organization. Content policies can automatically encrypt, quarantine, or even block certain outbound emails based on their content, sender, or recipient.

Keep Your Data Safe with Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

Ransomware, natural disasters, and simple human error can cause the loss of business-critical data at any time. Barracuda Essentials includes Cloud-to-Cloud Backup and point-in-time recovery for your Office 365 environment. When data is lost, for any reason, you can restore it quickly and easily, to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity. Cloud-to-Cloud Backup includes unlimited storage and retention to meet business requirements even as your business grows.

Stay Compliant with Tamper-Proof Email Archiving

Compliance is now a key requirement for most organizations, and the penalties for not meeting business and governmental regulations can be severe. Email archiving must be implemented in all areas across the organization to demonstrate and ensure that the business is operating in a compliant manner and to minimize ongoing legal risk.

Barracuda Essentials provides secure cloud-based archiving, which lets you easily meet demanding compliance requirements and address e-discovery requests. Our policy-based approach lets you set up email retention policies to ensure that important emails are safely archived to Barracuda’s secure cloud. Custom reports make it easy to demonstrate compliance with retention regulations and to defend deletion policies.

Stay Connected and Productive During Downtime

In the event of a mail server outage or loss of connectivity, Barracuda Email Continuity ensures that email operations continue by failing over to our cloud-based email service. An emergency mailbox lets users continue to send and receive emails, staying productive until your primary servers are back online.

Automate Incident Response and Get Access to Threat Insights

No email defense can protect against every email threat one hundred percent of the time. And when malicious email ends up in a user’s inbox, you need to address the problem quickly. Slow, inefficient manual incident response processes too often allow the attack to spread further.

Barracuda Forensics and Incident Response automates incident response and provides remediation options to address issues faster and more efficiently. Admins can send alerts to impacted users and remove malicious email directly from their inboxes with a couple of clicks. Discovery and threat insights provided by the Forensics and Incident Response platform help to identify anomalies in delivered email, providing more proactive ways to detect email threats.

CloudGen Firewall

In the cloud era, network firewalls must do more than secure your network. They must also ensure you have uninterrupted network availability and robust access to cloud-hosted applications.

Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is a family of hardware, virtual, and cloud-based appliances that protect and enhance your dispersed network infrastructure. They deliver advanced security by tightly integrating a comprehensive set of Cloud-Generation firewall technologies, including Layer 7 application profiling, intrusion prevention, web filtering, malware and advanced threat protection, antispam protection, and network access control.

In addition, Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls combine highly resilient VPN technology with intelligent traffic management and WAN optimization capabilities. This lets you reduce line costs, increase overall network availability, improve site-to-site connectivity, and ensure uninterrupted access to applications hosted in the cloud. Scalable centralized management helps you reduce administrative overhead while defining and enforcing granular policies across your entire dispersed network.

Protect your data, users, and workloads wherever they reside

Modern cyber threats such as ransomware and advanced persistent threats, targeted attacks, and zero-day threats, require progressively sophisticated defense techniques that balance accurate threat detection with fast response times. Barracuda CloudGen Firewall offers a comprehensive set of next-generation firewall technologies to ensure real-time network protection against a broad range of network threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits, including SQL injections, cross-site scripting, denial of service attacks, trojans, viruses, worms, spyware, and many more.

Barracuda’s firewalls can be deployed across multiple physical locations as well as in Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform.

Mitigate cyber-risks with Barracuda’s multi-layered security approach

The polymorphic nature of modern cyber-threats renders signature-based defense mechanisms inadequate. Comprehensive, reliable protection against advanced persistent threats requires a layered approach. Barracuda CloudGen Firewall provides multiple layers of detection including advanced threat signatures, behavioral and heuristic analysis, static code analysis, and finally comprehensive sandboxing, to provide accurate detection and in-depth protection against ransomware, malware, and other advanced cyber-attacks.

Stop zero-hour attacks with Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection

The core of Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection is a comprehensive full-emulation sandbox that will ‘detonate’ any attachment that is not conclusively analyzed by the preceding layers. Once a new threat is identified and a signature is created, the information is pushed to the pre-filtering layers. The next time the same threat attempts to enter your network, it will be blocked without the need for repeating the resource-intensive sandbox analysis. This ensures that sandboxing is used as efficiently as possible and without significantly impacting operations.

Stay ahead of new threats with Barracuda's global threat intelligence network

The Advanced Threat Protection service is connected to Barracuda’s global threat intelligence network to provide real-time protection from the latest threats. Barracuda collects threat data from millions of sources around the world across all threat vectors including network, email, website attacks, and web browser threats. Once a threat is identified the information is made available to all security solutions connected to the service, making your threat defense continuously better and more effective.

Cloud native

Cloud-to-Cloud Backup lives entirely in the cloud, so there’s no software or hardware for you to manage or update. Because your Office 365 data is already in the cloud, retaining your encrypted backup files in the network means better performance and instant scalability—it just makes sense. Multiple external copies of your backup files ensure redundancy and security. And you can sign up and start running your first backup in just five minutes.

Backup

The Barracuda Backup is an affordable solution for onsite and remote data storage and access. Quickly and securely store data in multiple offsite locations. Barracuda Backup removes duplicate data inline at the block level to reduce traditional backup storage requirements up to 25 times, while reducing backup windows and bandwidth requirements.

Protect Data Wherever It Resides

User error, malicious deletion, natural disasters, and cyber-attacks can all threaten your business. Barracuda protects data wherever it resides, including:

  • Files located on physical devices, virtual environments or the public cloud
  • Office 365 including SharePoint and OneDrive data
  • SQL data

Backed up data can be replicated to the offsite location of your choice, including to secure Barracuda cloud storage, another physical location, or AWS.

 

Recover Data Fast from Any Device

Backing up your data is only part of the story. Barracuda makes it simple to recover to a snapshot in time or just recover a set of affected files. We support physical and virtual restores, so you can recover data from anywhere.

If your primary storage is lost or no longer available, you can easily access your data stored in Barracuda Backup and even spin up a virtual machine in minutes with a complete set of your data.
