What is Barracuda Sentinel?

Barracuda Sentinel is a robust cloud-based system that protects against company email compromise, account takeover, spear phishing, and other cyber fraud by combining artificial intelligence, deep integration with Microsoft Microsoft365, and brand security.

M365 Defender VS Barracuda Sentinel

In today’s defence, advanced threat protection is a must. With new zero-day attacks, social modification strategies, and ransomware cocktail recipes being created on a regular basis, the small company MIGHT be threatened by enigmatic threats. Although Microsoft 365 provides an optional Advanced Threat Security approach, many M365 users find it woefully inadequate:

System’s machine learning engines are continuously being upgraded with new data gathered in the area.

Barracuda Cloud Protection Layer

Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection is offered as part of the Barracuda Email Security Gateway’s Cloud Protection Layer (CPL). CPL eliminates threats from breaching the network, defends against phishing and zero-day attacks, and maintains email consistency. The Barracuda Email Security Portal filters email after it goes through the Cloud Defense Layer, using more granular protocols, recipient authentication, quarantining, and other functions you customise on the appliance or virtual machine.

 

Here are some of the advantages of integrating the Barracuda Email Encryption Portal with the Cloud Defense Layer:

Summary

Several levels of authentication are lacking even for Microsoft 365’s built-in and available security components. Barracuda Essentials addresses the holes by delivering the industry’s most comprehensive email security, data loss prevention, anti-malware, anti-spam, and anti-phishing capabilities. 

 

Is this to say you can absolutely abandon M365 or stay only on M365?

 

No way! If you are having great experience with the networking capabilities of Microsoft 365 and applications, and their suite of cloud-based business apps, it should be maintained. Barracuda Essentials integrates seamlessly into the latest Microsoft 365 deployment.

 

It’s easy to get started. Simple setup procedure. Barracuda Essentials requires no additional hardware or software to install or manage, and it will automatically synchronise Barracuda email encryption with your LDAP server. Barracuda Essentials also comes with a free 14-day preview.
