Barracuda has launched an AI-powered email security solution that continuously detects and removes email threats in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, helping businesses and MSPs improve protection while simplifying security management.
Barracuda Integrated Email Protection
Barracuda Networks, Inc. has unveiled Barracuda Integrated Email Protection, an Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES) solution delivering protection against evolving AI-driven threats.
Powered by AI, the solution continuously and autonomously detects and remediates threats across the full attack lifecycle, clearly explains Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace verdicts and enables rapid post-delivery message clawback.
Built on BarracudaONE® platform telemetry across domains, including email, identity, network, data, and applications, and designed for single and multi-tenant environments, it enables MSPs to identify, investigate and eliminate risk.
Rohit Ghai, Chief Executive Officer at Barracuda, explains the rationale behind the launch:
“Email is no longer a human-centric communication platform; it’s an operational fabric where humans and AI interact, making it a much bigger target and amplifying the speed, scale and impact of attacks when threats go undetected. In the agentic AI era, effective security requires a platform approach that delivers continuous visibility and response across the full attack lifecycle. Barracuda Integrated Email Protection is fundamentally different because it correlates cross-domain signals in real time and turns them into automated, explainable action partners and customers can trust and control.”
Barracuda Research Exposes the Speed and Scale of Modern Email Attacks
New findings from simulated exercises highlight how quickly modern email attacks escalate. A single phishing email progressed to identity theft, multifactor authentication (MFA) bypass and endpoint compromise in minutes, demonstrating the speed at which attacks move beyond the inbox.
Barracuda research found that as many as one in seven compromised accounts are now used to launch additional attacks, and it is a figure expected to rise with AI-driven threat automation, fueling lateral movement and expanding risk across identities, systems and data. As threats evolve after delivery and at machine speed, organisations face increasing pressure to understand risk, detect threats and respond in real time.
As part of the BarracudaONE platform, the new solution integrates natively with Barracuda Managed XDR and data protection offerings, providing unified visibility, coordinated response and 360-degree resilience across the broader attack surface.
Powered by the Barracuda IQ™ engine and enriched by one of the largest threat intelligence datasets in the industry, Barracuda analyses approximately 1.5 billion URLs each day, proactively identifying threats before users click and strengthening detection accuracy over time.
Barracuda Integrated Email Protection deploys in minutes via an API-based architecture with no Mail Exchange (MX) record changes, mail-flow disruption or manual configuration, delivering immediate, full-lifecycle protection.
