Barracuda Essentials to power MHM Services
2017-06-15
Barracuda Networks has announced that MHM Services has selected Barracuda Essentials to protect its employees from advanced email threats.
MHM has selected Barracuda due to the flexibility, functionality, and cost savings to help securely and efficiently scale for hyper growth. By standardizing on Barracuda Essentials, MHM was able to add sophisticated Advanced Threat Protection to block ransomware and phishing attacks that could have put its customer privacy at risk.
Barracuda Essentials offers multi-level security including Advanced Threat Protection (APT), which protects against ransomware and phishing attacks, and Link Protection, which protects against typosquatting and malformed URLs. Barracuda's ATP combines behavioural, heuristic, and sandboxing technologies to protect against zero hour and targeted attacks. Barracuda ATP automatically scans email attachments in real-time and suspicious attachments are detonated in a sandbox environment to observe behaviour. In addition to blocking the attachment, the results are integrated into the Barracuda Real Time System. Barracuda Essentials also includes cloud archiving, which assists organizations with compliance and eDiscovery requests.
Barracuda Cloud Control leverages Barracuda’s global cloud infrastructure to give administrators a view of all their Barracuda appliances and services, as well as the ability to centrally manage policies and configuration with minimal IT overhead. This central management capability allows them the freedom to focus on more strategic assignments such as evaluating and implementing new technologies.
“When I joined MHM about a year ago, the business was going through hyper growth. Our IT group was drowning in technology, and we didn’t have resources to support it, so we knew we needed to consolidate technology and vendors to make it easier to manage,” said Shant Tossounian, IT infrastructure & operations manager at MHM Services, Inc. “At the same time, we were getting hit with a high amount of phishing attacks, and in order to get the right protections in place with our previous vendor, it was going to cost more, both in money and time. We were using Barracuda Backup and the Barracuda Cloud Control management interface, so it was a no-brainer for us in making the decision to move to Barracuda Essentials. Barracuda makes IT simple, while also giving us the flexibility we need for our business to scale.”
“The rise in ransomware and phishing puts MHM’s critical systems, patient data, and reputation at risk,” said Michael Hughes, Senior Vice-President of Worldwide Sales, Barracuda. “Barracuda Essentials adds an important layer of protection for MHM’s team and customers with features like Advanced Threat Protection to identify and block threats like ransomware and phishing. We designed Barracuda Essentials for customers like MHM who need that advanced protection, as well as an easy and flexible way to manage it across a growing number of users and devices, without impacting day-to-day operations.”
