Case Study: Osoyoos Credit Union achieves comprehensive network security and scalable backups with Barracuda Networks

Barracuda Helps Osoyoos Credit Union’s Network Grow Alongside Their Business

Osoyoos Credit Union, a 50‑employee, locally owned financial institution in Osoyoos, BC, faced growing network challenges as it expanded: an overrun open‑source spam filter that couldn’t block outbound mail or targeted attacks, no web security gateway to control employee or guest browsing, and a labor‑intensive tape backup process that made restores slow and unreliable.

The credit union deployed Barracuda Email Security Gateway, Web Security Gateway, and Backup appliances, gaining inbound/outbound email filtering, content and malware protection, web visibility with granular reporting, and inline/global deduplication with cloud vaulting. The changes produced a dramatic drop in spam and infection risk, faster, simpler restores, improved control over internet usage, and a scalable, centrally managed security and backup solution.
