Case Study: OnCue achieves rapid ransomware and phishing protection with Barracuda Networks (Essentials & Sentinel)

Modern email security in a hurry— there’s a Barracuda for that

OnCue, a rapidly growing convenience‑store chain headquartered in Stillwater, Oklahoma with over 75 locations and more than 1,000 employees, faced an imminent expiration of its email security contract while coping with increasing ransomware and phishing attacks. The company needed an accelerated procurement and deployment to close a widening security gap and support continued store and office growth, along with new requirements for Office 365 and SharePoint backups.

OnCue deployed Barracuda Essentials for email protection, backup and archiving, plus Barracuda Sentinel for AI‑driven phishing defense. The solutions were rolled out quickly across headquarters and 75 stores, delivering cloud‑to‑cloud backups, improved control and notifications, a dramatic reduction in ransomware and phishing incidents, significant time savings for IT, and high satisfaction from the IT team.
