Case Study: Parkmead Group cuts email incident response from days to hours with Barracuda Networks' Total Email Protection

Parkmead Group rapidly reduces email incident response times to minimize cyber-risk

Parkmead Group is a small UK- and Netherlands-focused energy company producing gas from four Dutch fields and exploring renewables. With just 15–20 users across two domains and a lean IT team, the group faced mounting cyber-risk: their previous email security missed threats and incident investigations were slow and manual, leaving them exposed in a sector frequently targeted by attackers.

Working with partner Altinet, Parkmead deployed Barracuda Total Email Protection—including AI-powered inbox defense, gateway threat detection, forensics and incident response, and cloud backup—seamlessly in a couple of days. The solution delivered clearer, actionable forensics and automated remediation, cutting incident response from 2–3 days to a couple of hours and enabling rapid removal of phishing messages before users could be harmed.
