Barracuda Email Security Gateway

Applies to: Barracuda Email Security Gateway VX600

Overview

The Barracuda Email Security Gateway is an integrated hardware and software solution, designed to protect your email server from spam, virus, spoofing, phishing and spyware attacks. Outbound filtering and encryption options also prevent Data Leakage Prevention(DLP).

EventTracker can be integrated with Barracuda ESG and help us to monitor the suspicious activities happening in the email server. If any malicious or suspicious mail is detected in Barracuda ESG, EventTracker will trigger the alert. EventTracker dashboard will help you to visualize the email traffic going through Barracuda ESG. It also helps to find the email id through which huge spam mail, virus mail is getting delivered. It can generate reports which will help to see the suspicious, spam and virus email on a scheduled basis.

Once EventTracker start receiving logs from Barracuda ESG, we can monitor the following activities:

Security – Virus detection in email, action taken on malicious emails.
Operation – Email traffic details.
