Artificial Intelligence for Real-Time Email Protection
Barracuda Sentinel – MSP combines artificial intelligence, deep integration with Microsoft Office 365, and brand protection into a comprehensive cloud-based solution that guards against business email compromise, account takeover, spear phishing and other cyber fraud.
Real-time defense against business email compromise
Sentinel’s Unique API-based architecture gives Sentinel’s AI engine access to historical email data to learn each user’s unique communications patterns. The engine leverages multiple classifiers to map the social networks of every individual inside the company and identifies anomalous signals in message metadata and content.
Sentinel’s unique approach does not rely on static rules to detect targeted attacks — it relies on historical statistics of each organization to determine with a higher degree of accuracy whether a certain email is part of a socially engineered attack or account takeover.
Protection against account takeover and insider risk
Every day, legitimate business accounts get compromised due to stolen credentials. Account takeover can remain dormant in your SMBs’ environment for months, with hackers watching and learning before launching their attacks. Barracuda Sentinel’s comprehensive solution to account takeover includes three components: prevention, detection, and remediation.
It prevents targeted phishing attacks that bypass traditional email gateways and can lead to harvesting credentials. If an account has been compromised, it detects the anomalous behavior and alerts IT.
Finally, it can remediate the attack by removing all of the malicious emails sent by the compromised account from within employee mailboxes with one click.
Brand protection and domain fraud visibility
Domain spoofing and brand hijacking are common techniques used by hackers in social engineering attacks. Domain spoofing can be used to target your customer’s employees, external partners, and other third parties who might trust their brand.
Barracuda Sentinel provides complete protection from email domain fraud through DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance) reporting, analysis, and visibility.
Barracuda Sentinel – MSP offers an intuitive wizard to help MSPs easily set up DMARC authentication. Once DMARC is properly configured, it provides granular visibility and analysis of DMARC reports to help you properly set-up DMARC enforcement and reduce the potential of false-positives enforcements. Well configured DMARC enforcement ensures deliverability of legitimate email traffic and prevents unauthorized spoofing emails.
