What it is?
Barracuda Incident Response is an email-security investigation and remediation capability.
It is designed to help an organization investigate suspicious or malicious email and determine whether similar messages have reached other users. It can then take corrective action, such as removing malicious messages. Barracuda describes capabilities including threat hunting, remediation and automation.
In simple terms
“A dangerous email got through. Find it, investigate it, and remove it.”
Typical use cases
- Phishing email investigation
- Business Email Compromise (BEC)
- Malicious email that bypassed initial protection
- Searching for related messages across mailboxes
- Removing malicious emails
- Investigating reported suspicious messages
It detects when someone pretends to be your CEO, supplier, customer, or trusted employee.
What it protects against
- Executive impersonation
- Vendor impersonation
- Account takeover
- Business Email Compromise
- Spear phishing
- Social engineering
- Fraudulent payment requests
The technology analyzes communication patterns and other signals to identify anomalous behavior rather than relying only on traditional static rules.
