Sentinel Artificial Intelligence

Sentinel detects threats that traditional email security systems can’t.

It integrates directly with Microsoft Office 365 APIs to detect attacks coming from both internal and external sources.

It uses artificial intelligence to detect signs of malicious intent and deception within every email with virtually no IT administration required.

Stop Targeted Attacks with AI

Automatically detects and prevent spear phishing attacks that evade traditional email security systems. The Sentinel AI engine learns each organization’s unique communication patterns, and leverages these patterns to identify anomalies and quarantine spear phishing attacks in real-time.

Automatically quarantines Business Email Compromise attacks, by detecting anomalies in the email header, as well as the content of the email.

Can detect any type of employee impersonation, including impersonation of executives, as well as mid and low level employees. It can detect spoofed emails, typo-squatted domains, and impersonation emails sent from free or personal email clients.

By discovering anomalous communication patterns, within the body of the email, the link or the email header, Barracuda Sentinel can stop zero-day phishing attacks that evade other email security systems. It can detect any type of zero-day phishing attack attacks, including links leading to a fake sign in page, as well as links to malicious websites.

Trained to recognize and automatically quarantine phishing emails that impersonate web services, such as Microsoft Outlook, Docusign, Dropbox. The Barracuda Sentinel AI can prevent web impersonations, even when they use deceptive characters or zero-day links.

Automatically stops attacks that impersonate employees by spoofing their email address. The AI engine recognizes the anomalies in spoofing emails and quarantines them.

Customers can report false positives and missed attacks to Barracuda Sentinel, which are used to retrain the AI classifiers. This enables the AI to continuously improve its precision and adapt its detection capabilities.

Stop Account Takeover with AI

Detect suspicious log-ins by tracking IPs that exhibit suspicious behavior, such as failed sign-ins, and share intelligence across all users and accounts. Track each user’s access patterns and alert IT administrators when Sentinel observes unusual sign-in activity such as from an unusual device or geography. Sentinel tracks both user-level pattern and organization wide level patterns.

By detecting anomalies in internal employee communications, Barracuda Sentinel can automatically detect when employee accounts become compromised and send malicious emails to internal and external recipients. Administrators get alerted when an account has been compromised and can take immediate action.

Automatically quarantines phishing emails that allow attackers to steal employee credentials, and lead to account takeovers.

Can automatically identify which malicious emails were sent from a compromised account and flag them for administrators.

Account takeover remediation tool allows administrators to delete all phishing emails sent from compromised accounts from within employee mailboxes.

Allows administrators to identify which external recipients received emails from compromised accounts and notify them of the attack.

Helps administrators lock out attackers from compromised accounts, and prevents them from using the compromised account to launch phishing campaigns and forward emails externally.

Changes to users’ email inbox rules can potentially indicate an account takeover. Sentinel lets IT administrators review and investigate recent changes to inbox rules. The Inbox Rules Change Feed provides visibility across the entire email environment, and lets you investigate rules changes for a specific email or account.

Domain Fraud Prevention

Barracuda Sentinel’s domain fraud prevention solution prevents third parties from maliciously spoofing domains. The solution leverages DMARC to gain visibility both to legitimate and non-legitimate emails being sent with a particular domain, and enables customers to make sure their legitimate emails are delivered correctly while blocking the malicious senders.

DMARC reports are automatically gathered, analyzed and visualized within Barracuda Sentinel. Customers simply need to change their DNS record using Barracuda Sentinel’s setup wizard, and Barracuda Sentinel takes care of the reporting and analysis of the DMARC logs.

Customers can get high level insights on the different email systems sending emails with their domains, as well as gain access to in-depth information, including which IPs are passing and failing DMARC, domain misalignment, and spoofing samples.

Helps customers correctly configure their DKIM and SPF, as well as troubleshoot common problems in SPF/DKIM configuration, such as domain misalignment.

Can help customers increase their legitimate email deliverability, by ensuring that their emails pass email authentication.

By leveraging Barracuda Network’s IP reputation databases, Barracuda Sentinel can provide detailed information on the source of spoofing emails, including geographic and sender information, as well as samples of spoofing emails.

Barracuda Sentinel can automatically detect misconfigured legitimate senders, and helps customers correctly configure their SPF and DKIM to ensure that legitimate emails are delivered.

Protects customer brands by ensuring that attackers cannot impersonate domains to trick clients, employees and third parties.
