Case Study: Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders achieves time‑saving email security and cloud backup with Barracuda Networks Total Email Protection

Leading UK trade association in the driver’s seat with comprehensive cloud email protection and backup

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), a leading UK trade association representing the motor industry, faced rising cyber risk as it migrated to Office 365. IT leaders were spending excessive hours checking quarantined emails, dealing with phishing threats and slow remediation processes—exposures that could harm members’ data and the organisation’s reputation.

SMMT deployed Barracuda Total Email Protection with Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, leveraging AI-driven Sentinel, automated incident response and cloud backup for Office 365. The result: phishing and malicious emails are blocked more effectively, suspicious messages can be removed from inboxes in a few clicks, the team saves many hours weekly by avoiding manual quarantine checks, and cloud backup provides added ransomware and recovery peace of mind.
