Case Study: Nokian Tyres strengthens email security with Barracuda Email Protection

Nokian Tyres strengthens email security and threat visibility with Barracuda

Nokian Tyres, a global tire manufacturer, needed to strengthen its email security and improve threat visibility. The challenge, as faced by Director of IT Operations Aki Kemppi, involved defending against sophisticated phishing, impersonation, and account takeover attacks, especially as the company adjusted its Microsoft licensing. Nokian Tyres chose to partner with Barracuda Networks, a vendor already trusted by Kemppi, and implemented Barracuda Email Protection.

The solution from Barracuda provided layered email security, blocking threats before they reached users and offering a critical safety net. The partnership with Barracuda delivered greater operational efficiency, confidence, and visibility into threats for the lean IT team. As a result of the successful implementation, Nokian Tyres expanded its relationship with Barracuda to include additional services like Managed XDR and Entra ID Backup, solidifying a long-term cybersecurity partnership.
