Real-Time Email Protection

Business email compromise (BEC), spear phishing, and account takeover are among today’s top email threats. These hyper-targeted attacks trick employees into making terribly costly mistakes.

Traditional email filters only filter incoming emails. Real time email protection provides a further security layer. It integrates directly into Office 365 to find threats inside your mail system that security gateways can’t see.

Artificial Intelligence for Real-Time Email Protection

Barracuda Sentinel combines artificial intelligence, deep integration with Microsoft Office 365, and brand protection. This makes it a comprehensive cloud-based solution that guards against these dangerous, targeted attacks and provides real time email protection.

Real-time Defence Against Business Email Compromise

Sentinel’s unique API-based architecture lets its AI engine study historical email and learn users’ unique communication patterns. It can then identify anomalies in message metadata and content. This enables it to find and block socially engineered attacks in real time.

This approach based on historical patterns is far more accurate than traditional policy based strategies for detecting socially engineered and account-takeover attacks.

Protection against account takeover and insider risk

Account takeover lets hackers secretly study their target and plan their attack. Gateway defences never see the internal attacks that are launched from these compromised accounts, so they can’t detect them.

Sentinel stops phishing attacks used to harvest credentials for account takeover. It detects anomalous email behaviour and alerts IT. Sentinel then finds and removes all fraud emails sent from compromised accounts.

Brand protection and domain fraud visibility

Domain spoofing is a common type of social engineering attack that targets employees, customers, and partners. Sentinel helps prevent email domain fraud with DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance) reporting and analysis.

Barracuda Sentinel helps set up DMARC authentication. Granular visibility and analysis of DMARC reports helps you minimise false positives, protect legitimate email, and prevent spoofing.

Sentinel real-time email protection protects against the most complex of email threats, designed to get around normal email filtering. Please contact us for further information or a Free Cyber Security Assessment.
