Case Study: Tricentis achieves C‑suite spear‑phishing protection and 200% spam‑detection lift with Barracuda Networks

Agile software testing pioneer slams the door on C-level email attacks

Tricentis, a Vienna‑based global leader in automated continuous testing with offices across EMEA, APAC and North America, was hit by frequent, highly targeted spear‑phishing and account‑takeover attempts against C‑level executives after moving to Office 365 and needed stronger email protection than native O365 security could provide.

Tricentis deployed Barracuda Sentinel, Barracuda Essentials for Office 365 and Barracuda Message Archiver; Sentinel’s AI rapidly identified anomalous spear‑phishing, Essentials boosted protection, and the archiver ensured tamper‑proof compliance. The combined solution was quick to deploy, drastically reduced phishing and fraud attempts, protected against domain spoofing, increased spam detection by 200%, and gave the IT team greater visibility and peace of mind.
