reporting and conformance analysis to prevent abuse of its domain in phishing. Overall, Fletchers’ organisational risk profile has been reduced by 75 per cent. “There’s always a bit of nervousness about moving to a new solution,” says Terry. “But the guys at Barracuda made that straightforward. They worked with us on the migration. The crossover was seamless, and the ongoing experience has been seamless too.” At the same time, Fletchers was also looking to commercialise a new service being developed in the firm’s Azure environment. Following the successful implementation of Barracuda Email Protection and to ensure that the environment remained completely free of threats, it chose to deploy Barracuda CloudGen Firewall for Azure. The product offers a set of firewall technologies for real-time network protection, including protection from advanced and encrypted threats, bots and spyware, and distributed denial of service attacks, as well as multi-factor authentication, application control, and more. Since its implementation, Barracuda CloudGen Firewall has kept the cloud environment threat-free as it continues to develop the in-house product. Terry has been impressed with the way both products can feed into Fletchers’ security information and event management solution via simple application programming interfaces for more streamlined threat detection and response. He is now exploring the possibility of implementing further Barracuda features and products to enhance protection. “Rather than having disparate solutions, it would make sense to have everything sit under one umbrella,” he says. “That’s the nirvana we’re heading for.” 85 “Barracuda was doing everything we needed it to do and more” ANTHONY TERRY, FLETCHERS SOLICITORS
