Case Study: John Clark Motor Group achieves zero email breaches and boosts IT productivity with Barracuda Networks' Email Protection and Content Shield

Minimizing cyber risk and maximizing IT productivity for leading UK auto dealership

John Clark Motor Group, a family-run automotive business with 37 dealerships and about 1,300 employees across Scotland, was overwhelmed by malicious spam and frequent PC infections that cost its small IT team hundreds of hours a year to remediate. After finding their previous provider ineffective and migrating to Microsoft 365 (with concerns around backup and compliance), the group needed a more reliable, cloud-first email and web security solution.

By deploying Barracuda Email Protection and Barracuda Content Shield with cloud-to-cloud backups, John Clark achieved seamless protection and rapid recovery while keeping historical data for compliance. The solution blocked over 100,000 suspicious emails in a 30-day period, caught more than 200 threats (97% classed as advanced), eliminated routine PC clean-ups, and freed the IT team to focus on proactive projects.
