Spam Protection
With a long-standing heritage in spam protection Barracuda Networks remains the leader in identifying and blocking spam. A comprehensive set of security layers ensures that organizations remain productive in the face of evolving threats. The Barracuda Spam Firewall leverages Barracuda Central to identify email from known spammers and determine whether domains embedded in email lead to known spam or malware domains. It leverages many of the same industry-leading techniques found in the Barracuda Spam Firewall that protect against attempts to embed text inside images with the intent of hiding content from traditional spam filters. Virus Protection As virus attacks become more sophisticated and complex email infrastructure requires advanced virus protection. The potential for the destruction and release of information or the disruption of a network severely impacts productivity and can lead to financial loss. The Barracuda Spam Firewall scans email and incoming files using three powerful layers of virus scanning technology. It also decompresses archives for complete protection. Powerful virus definitions are automatically updated via Energize Updates to maintain the most up-to-date protection against email-borne viruses. To provide protection from tainted internal email a Microsoft Exchange Plug-In allows organizations to protect against the spread of viruses that don't access the email gateway. The virus definitions are also regularly updated to ensure the latest protection. Barracuda Central All Barracuda products are supported by Barracuda Central a 24x7 advanced security operations center that works continuously to monitor and block the latest Internet threats. Barracuda Central collects data from more than 150000 collection points worldwide and analyzes it to develop defenses rules and signatures. As new threats emerge Barracuda Central is quick to respond to early outbreaks and delivers the latest definitions through Barracuda Energize Updates. These updates require zero administration and ensure that the Barracuda Spam Firewall provides comprehensive and accurate protection against the latest Internet threats. Denial of Service (DoS) Attack Protection Not every attack is focused on getting users to send their credit card number getting users to click on a malicious link or to plant a virus. Often the objective of the attack is focused on disabling a network or mitigating its effectiveness. As a cloud-based service the Barracuda Spam Firewall is positioned to stop spammers before they overload an email server. Email Spooling The Barracuda Spam Firewall ensures that email can still be delivered even during email server failures or loss of connectivity. In the event of on-premises disruptions email can be spooled in the Cloud Protection Layer for up to 96 hours. An alternate destination can also be specified for delivery if delivery to the primary destination fails. During email server outages the email for all mail servers is visible through the Cloud Protection Layer. From the message log you can see the status of all spooled emails and whether mail has been re-delivered.
