Barracuda Sentinel uses the AI to view the history of organization’s communication to predict and prevent future attacks.

Barracuda Sentinel is powered by an Artificial Intelligence engine that detects and blocks phishing attacks in real time. The AI ​​engine automatically learns unique communication patterns for each organization. The Anomalous signals in the attributes of the incoming message’s metadata and content can be found by using this knowledge. Barracuda Sentinel combines these signals to determine with a high degree of accuracy if the email is part of a phishing attack.

In many successful crucial phishing attacks, criminals impersonate the company domain to pose as one of the employees. They also often exploit the phishing domain to send emails on behalf of a company to their customers and partners to steal their credentials and obtain their accounts.

Barracuda Sentinel helps protect your brand by stopping unauthorized domain activity. We offer an intuitive wizard to help you set up DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance). DMARC is a protocol that allows you to control emails sent from your domain.

Barracuda Sentinel provides the complete analysis of your DMARC reports. This allows you to guarantee the delivery of legitimate email traffic and prevent unauthorized messages being sent from the company’s domains. By imposing your DMR correctly, you can avoid Barracuda Sentinel and brand hijacking.

Barracuda Sentinel leverages the intelligence of our automated learning platform to identify high-risk people within your organization. Once identified, we can customize specialized training, including crucial phishing attacks, to assess security awareness and prevent damage from targeted attacks.

As expected, financial departments are the main targets of crucial phishing attacks. As financial management responsibilities, malicious attacks often focus on financing, posing as the chief executive or other executive and requesting an urgent wire transfer. Through social engineering and the implementation of techniques such as typosquatting an attacker can easily trick financial departments into believing that applications are legitimate and require an immediate response.

Whether in tax season or not, Human Resource and legal staff have been routinely facing the threat of phishing attacks. Tax forms must be submitted to each employee and contain a large amount of personal information, including compensation, legal name, social security number and home address. They are incredibly attractive targets for attackers who can take advantage of the results to steal another person’s identity or grab the data as “research” for future targeted attacks.

IT departments and engineering in general have access to large spending budgets for their projects through corporate cards, and can often authorize electronic transfers, making them key targets for phishing attacks. In many organizations, IT and engineers access the most confidential information of the company, including credentials and certifications, access to source code and confidential IP. Attackers often target this section through phishing attacks to obtain private information, access corporate networks or share confidential information with competitors (for a fee).

Administrative assistants are often masters within the organization, working behind the scenes to manage everything from scheduling to facilitating important business meetings. They work closely with a wide range of roles and are regularly granted access to credentials and personal information to senior executives for routine process. Due to their need to move quickly and manage multiple tasks at the same time, supervisors are the main objectives of the cyber attacks, which can quickly enter the corporate environment by cheating e-mail and requesting credentials.
