Protect Against Email-Borne Threats
Stop threats before they impact your productivity. The Barracuda Email Security Gateway safeguards against inbound malware, spam, phishing attacks, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, ensuring your team can focus on what matters most.
Stop Threats Before They Hit Your Network
Offload CPU-intensive tasks like antivirus scanning and DDoS filtering to the cloud. This reduces the processing load on your appliance and prevents threats from reaching your network perimeter. The Barracuda Email Security Gateway integrates with a cloud-based service that pre-filters email before delivery, providing an extra layer of security.
Continuous Email Availability
Don't let email server failures disrupt your business. With the Cloud Protection Layer (CPL), included free with the Barracuda Email Security Gateway, email is spooled for up to 96 hours, and you can redirect traffic to a secondary server if needed.
Protect Sensitive Data
Prevent sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands with powerful encryption technology. Outbound filtering and quarantine capabilities ensure every outbound email complies with your corporate DLP policies.
Simplify Email Security
The Barracuda Email Security Gateway is easy to deploy and configure, providing customized email protection without complex setup. Cloud-based centralized management is included at no extra cost, streamlining day-to-day workflow. Our affordable, all-inclusive pricing model eliminates per-user fees, minimizing your investment in securing your email infrastructure.

The Barracuda Email Security Gateway leverages Barracuda Central to identify email from known spammers and block domains linked to spam or malware. It also protects against attempts to hide content within images, bypassing traditional spam filters.
-
Virus Protection
Protect your network from costly disruptions. Modern virus attacks are increasingly sophisticated, requiring advanced protection for your email infrastructure. The potential for data destruction, financial loss, and network disruption is significant.
The Barracuda Email Security Gateway scans email and incoming files using three powerful layers of virus scanning technology, including archive decompression for complete protection. Virus definitions are automatically updated via Energize Updates to maintain the latest defenses against email-borne viruses.
