Solution Brief

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) for Email Security Gateway

IT security threats are constantly evolving and improving, especially as attackers compete to create new
ways to exploit and discover new vulnerabilities. For this reason, it simply isn’t enough to depend on a
single strategy or technology layer to protect your networks, data, and users. Instead, a security solution
that will remain relevant and effective over time must be built on an agile, versatile platform that evolves
and incorporates new scanning technology, modules, and strategies designed to detect rapidly evolving
threats. Barracuda has built simple and easy-to use email security solutions that protect our customers
from new and emerging threats, without having to manage the complexities of multiple products and
solutions.

Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection


Continuing to execute on this strategy, Barracuda provides an Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) layer to the Barracuda Email Security
Gateway (ESG). This service analyzes inbound email attachments in a separate, secured cloud environment, detecting new threats and
determining whether to block such messages. ATP offers protection against advanced malware, zero-day exploits, and targeted attacks
not detected by the Barracuda Email Security Gateway virus scanning features.

infrastructure that blocks known and unknown threats.

Barracuda Cloud Protection Layer
Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection is delivered as part of the Cloud Protection Layer (CPL) feature of the Barracuda Email Security
Gateway. CPL blocks threats before they reach your network, prevents phishing and zero day attacks, and provides email continuity. Once
email passes through the Cloud Protection Layer, the Barracuda Email Security Gateway filters email via more granular policies, further
recipient verification, quarantining, and other features you configure on the appliance or virtual machine.

The Cloud Protection Layer receives inbound email on behalf of the organization, insulating your organization’s mail server from receiving
direct connections and associated threats. In addition to Advanced Threat Protection, here are some of the benefits of using the Cloud
Protection Layer together with your Barracuda Email Security Gateway:

• Link Protection – Rewrites a deceptive URL in an email message to a safe Barracuda URL, and delivers that message to the user.
• Typo-squatting Protection – Checks for common typos in the URL domain name in an email message and, if
found, rewrites the URL to the correct domain name so that the user visits the intended website.
• End User Security Training - Users that click on malicious links are taken to a landing page where they can take
training exercises to understand what they did wrong and how to avoid repeating this mistake moving forward.
• Email Burst Handling – Email surge suppression during peak traffic and spam spikes, which offloads a significant
volume of spam email from your Barracuda Email Security Gateway to be filtered via the cloud.
• Immediate Response – Automatic updates in real time, leveraging threat intelligence from Barracuda
Labs and Barracuda Central to continuously stay ahead of quickly morphing threats.

Summary
Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection provides comprehensive real-time protection against all known and unknown advanced threats.
The service shares threat intelligence across all Barracuda security products ensuring that customers’ networks, users, data, and web
applications are dynamically protected from the rapidly evolving threat landscape.

For example, an email borne, zero-hour threat is detected and immediately neutralized by Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection
running on Essentials for Office 365. With the threat now known, Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection distributes the signature across
all deployed Barracuda devices around the world. Should the same threat then show up in a file downloaded from a website, then a
Barracuda NextGen Firewall or Web Security Gateway will already know about the threat and block the download.
