Case Study: Lombardi Group achieves ransomware resilience and IT automation with Barracuda Networks' Email Protection and Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

Keeping email threats at bay for engineering experts Lombardi Group

Lombardi Group, a 70‑year‑old engineering services firm with about 970 engineers, faced rising email risk as it scaled and moved to Microsoft 365. Increasing inboxes expanded the attack surface, with threats slipping past filters, a history of false positives from a previous provider, time‑consuming manual incident handling, and a need to back up Teams and SharePoint data.

The firm implemented Barracuda Email Protection and Barracuda Cloud‑to‑Cloud Backup—bringing AI‑driven impersonation and account‑takeover protection, automated incident response, and granular Microsoft 365 backups with unlimited storage. The solution reduced false positives, blocked large volumes of phishing, impersonation and malware attempts, freed IT to focus on higher‑value work, delivered strong customer support, and provided peace of mind against ransomware.
