Case Study: Multinational Distributing Company (US division) achieves comprehensive Office 365 email security with Barracuda Networks' Email Security Service

US Division of Multinational Distributor Enhances Office 365 with Multi-Layer Email Security

The US division of a multinational distributor with 2,500+ users migrated from on‑premises Lotus Notes to a hybrid Exchange 2013/Exchange Online Office 365 environment. After enabling the bundled Exchange Online Protection, IT found EOP didn’t match the level of email security they had previously and needed a cloud‑based, SaaS email security solution.

They deployed the Barracuda Email Security Service across the organization in a single day; the cloud solution adds spam and virus blocking, data protection, email continuity, DoS prevention, encryption and policy management. The result was improved spam filtering, easier sender-list management, an intuitive, non‑intrusive experience for users, and consistently praised technical support—so much so that the customer plans to keep Barracuda rather than switch back to EOP.
