Case Study: Mansour Group halts conversation‑hijacking fraud and secures Microsoft 365 with Barracuda Networks

Free threat scan demonstrates value of email security platform

Mansour Group, a regional provider of technology solutions for the industrial, mining, and rail sectors based in Sudbury, Ontario (founded 1981), was hit by two costly conversation‑hijacking attacks and repeated account takeovers. Their existing email gateway missed the phishing that enabled the fraud, and a growing user base had insufficient security awareness.

A Barracuda Email Threat Scan identified the exact malicious messages, and Mansour deployed Barracuda Email Protection plus Cloud‑to‑Cloud Backup. The solution delivered AI‑powered phishing and impersonation protection, fast automated incident response, consolidated management, and security‑awareness training — dramatically reducing impersonation attacks, speeding remediation, and restoring confidence in their Microsoft 365 environment.
