"Malicious emails may end up in a user's mailbox, and when they do, they need to be addressed quickly. Many organizations lack the information and tools security admins need to address these incidents, which results in a manual, inaccurate, time-consuming process," said Don MacLennan, SVP of Engineering and Product Management, Email Protection, at Barracuda. "The expanded incident response capabilities address this and help customers easily create custom workflows to automate their email response, saving them time and ensuring a consistent and efficient response to email threats."

"We asked Barracuda for a simplified way to run incident response playbooks- we are so excited that they've delivered. It's a testament to how Barracuda listens and works with customers to help us solve the issues we are facing with regards to protecting our business information and our people's sensitive data," said Brian Morris, Gray Television.

"With threats mounting and talent pools short, customers need partners in security that understand not every organization will want to respond to email incidents the same way. We're really looking forward to using incident response automated workflows from Barracuda, so we can build a playbook that meets our specific needs for individual use cases," said Nathan Dube, Viant Medical.
