Email has quickly become a critical vulnerability for businesses. Over 91% of cyberattacks begin with an email. Threats are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated. Their damage can lead to financial losses, data breaches, and reputational harm. Email security is no longer optional—it’s essential. That’s why GSD relies on Barracuda, the industry’s most trusted and comprehensive email security platform.
Barracuda goes beyond basic filtering to provide layered protection against everything from phishing to ransomware, helping businesses secure sensitive data. This email cybersecurity platform offers a range of features that protect against the most common and advanced threats targeting your organization’s email system.

Stop Threats Before They Reach Your Inbox
Barracuda uses advanced threat detection, powered by AI and machine learning, to recognize and block dangerous emails in real-time. It analyzes email content and sender behavior to filter out spam, phishing scams, and malware, long before your employees ever see them. The platform provides zero-hour protection for emails, which means it can detect and block threats instantly, even before they are known.
Securing Outbound Emails and Preventing Data Loss
While most email security focuses on stopping external threats, Barracuda also keeps a close eye on what’s leaving your organization. Features like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) help prevent sensitive information from being accidentally or maliciously sent outside your company. This is crucial for maintaining compliance with industry regulations, such as HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI-DSS.
Email encryption ensures that private communication stays private. Even if an encrypted message is intercepted, it remains unreadable without the proper decryption key.
Strengthen Email Security
While Barracuda’s tools are powerful, effective email protection also relies on smart day-to-day practices. We recommend implementing practical strategies alongside Barracuda:
- Train your team to spot phishing attempts and avoid risky clicks or downloads.
- Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) for added protection on accounts with sensitive access.
- Back up your data regularly to ensure quick recovery in the event of a ransomware attack.
- Establish clear email policies to reduce the chance of human error.
Email security cannot be an afterthought in a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated by the day. Barracuda is a full-scale defense system built to protect your people, data, and business operations. With Barracuda, you’re securing your business’s future, not just your email.
