Case Study: Sight Scotland achieves major Office 365 email security boost and saves 8 hours/week with Barracuda Networks Total Email Protection

Sight Scotland sees major O365 security boost

Sight Scotland, founded in 1793 in Edinburgh and employing about 650 staff to serve people with sight loss, found Office 365’s built-in protections inadequate against modern spear-phishing and other deceptive email attacks. The clunky Microsoft interface and frequent staff reports of suspicious messages were consuming significant IT time and increasing risk.

Sight Scotland deployed Barracuda Total Email Protection, gaining multilayered email defenses, an intuitive dashboard and message log, and faster incident handling. The result: significantly reduced phishing risk, no support calls during rollout, about eight hours of IT work saved per week, easier management and stronger confidence for donors, with plans to add PhishLine security training.
