The Barracuda Email Security Service is a comprehensive and affordable cloud-based email security service that protects both inbound and outbound email against the latest spam, viruses, worms, phishing and denial of service attacks.

The Barracuda Email Security Service leverages advanced security technologies from the industry-leading Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall and features rich multiple cloud-based protection:

• Rate control and Denial of Service (DoS) protection
• Reputation-based blocking from known spam and malware sources
• Anti-virus, featuring the patent-pending Barracuda Anti-Virus Supercomputing Grid
• Anti-phishing, using the Barracuda Anti-Fraud Intelligence
• Protection against spam, phishing, fraud and emails with other malicious intent
• Custom sender/recipient policy

Comprehensive Protection
Spam and viruses are blocked in the cloud prior to delivery to the recipient, saving network bandwidth while providing additional Denial of Service protection. In addition to network bandwidth savings, cloud-based filtering offloads any processing required for spam and virus filtering from the email server.

By leveraging the compute capacity available in the cloud, patent-pending Barracuda Anti-Virus Supercomputing Grid not only detects new outbreaks similar to known viruses, it also identifies new threats for which signatures have never existed.

Easy-to-Use
Without the need to install software or deploy hardware the Barracuda Email Security Service can start filtering inbound and outbound email in a matter of minutes. Users can access their own message log to deliver quarantined emails or whitelist senders to ease the burden of administration.

Affordable
With simple pricing and no setup charges, the Barracuda Email Security Service is the most affordable, comprehensive protection for organizations of any size.
