BEC is a large problem which resulted in losses of over $360 million in 2016 according to the latest statistics compiled by the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).Ĭidon explained that traditional email security systems tend to rely on global rule bases to make decisions on spam and malicious email content. With Barracuda Sentinel the approach is different, as the system provides a unique set of rules for each specific customer. The rules are learned by the artificial intelligence technology back end, based on each specific company’s communication patterns. Barracuda is not storing user emails as part of the Sentinel service, but rather is extracting what Cidon referred to as ‘signals’ that can help to determine the authenticity of a given email interaction.
On initial deployment, Cidon said that Barracuda Sentinel will spend time to analyze the normal context of communication within an organization to learn what is normal and expected behavior.
The system swill build a unique database for each customer based on the machine learning activity to identify when there is any type of email that appears to be outside of the normal patterns. In the past, building a specific user database for each company would have been a large and complicated task.

In addition to helping organizations detect potential spear phishing attacks, Barracuda Sentinel also provides organizations with capabilities to improve the security of email overall. DMARC is a technology approach that can help improve email authenticity and reduce email domain spoofing.Īmong the capabilities is DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) configuration for an organization’s email domain. “We provide a set of tools that help organizations to setup DMARC properly,” Cidon said.Īmong the DMARC configuration tools are analytics to understand email configuration across a large organization. Cidon said that there are also tools to help identify if someone is attempting to spoof a company’s email domain as well. Additionally, the Barracuda Sentinel service provides user training and simulation capabilities. “We can simulate attacks against the highest risk employees and train them to be aware,” Cidon said.
