Barracuda Sentinel
Barracuda Sentinel protects your users & private data with machine learning thanks to a powerful Artificial Intelligence engine that scans for advanced threats traditional email gateways miss. This AI-based protection stops phishing & account takeover attempts dead in their tracks. Because Barracuda Sentinel integrates directly into Office 365, hidden threats that O365 can't see are dug up & removed from your mail system. Since targeted attacks often carry non-obvious malicious payload, many email security platforms miss them entirely. Barracuda Sentinel harnesses AI to outsmart, outplay, & outpace threat actors.
Sentinel As A Zero-Administration Tool
Barracuda Sentinel works silently in the background to block malicious email traffic from ever setting foot in your inbox. Sentinel and other Barracuda Email Security services even work side-by-side with any other email security platform already on your network, adding an additional layer of AI-based advanced protection to root out especially elusive threats. Management is made easy by eliminating the need to manage clunky static security rules, freeing up your IT team for other tasks.

Barracuda Sentinel automatically detects & blocks attacks that impersonate your employees by spoofing their email address. Barracuda Sentinel's AI engine detects anomalies in spoofed emails & quarantines them before they reach their intended target.

Stop Account Takeover Attempts
Employee credentials are a huge target for attackers. These kinds of footholds on a small business network provide opportunities to launch more targeted persistent attacks. Barracuda Sentinel tracks IPs that exhibit suspicious behavior such as failed sign-ins & other anomalous access patterns. Automated alerting & reporting make you aware as soon as suspicious access is detected.
- Monitor for unusual activity from unknown devices or geographic locations
- Track both user-level & organization-wide behavior patterns

Barracuda Sentinel lets you lock attackers out of accounts, prevent the use of compromised accounts to launch campaigns, & notify external third parties if an account on your network was used to send them a potentially malicious email.

Barracuda PhishLine

Test your team's readiness
With hundreds of convincing email lure templates to choose from, PhishLine allows you to test how your employees would respond to a real-life phishing attempt.
