Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based suite of productivity tools that includes applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, along with security and collaboration features. Barracuda, on the other hand, specializes in cybersecurity solutions, offering protection against email threats, data breaches, and network vulnerabilities.
Barracuda integrates with Microsoft 365 to enhance security, particularly in email protection. For example, Barracuda Email Gateway Defense can be configured as an inbound and outbound mail gateway for Microsoft 365, filtering out spam, viruses, and advanced threats before emails reach users. Additionally, Barracuda XDR can monitor Microsoft 365 logs to detect suspicious activity, such as unauthorized logins or potential identity risks.
Barracuda also provides backup solutions for Microsoft 365, ensuring that data stored in OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams is protected against accidental or malicious loss. These integrations help businesses maintain a secure and resilient Microsoft 365 environment.
