Cloud security | Comprehensive cloud security and data protection

Cloud security

As technology has evolved over time, so has the way we store our important files and data. Businesses no longer require vast rooms full of cabinets to accommodate thousands of hard drives and other physical storage solutions. Instead, cloud technology allows data and information to be stored and accessed remotely. At DuoCall MSP, we’ll make sure your sensitive business data is kept secure.

Keeping your storage safe

Cloud security isn’t just about protecting data from cybercriminals, it also plays a key role in ensuring that no data is lost due to unscheduled downtime. And although it’s easy to dismiss third party cloud security solutions when you are happy with your existing IT infrastructure, you could be leaving your business in a vulnerable position. In fact, in Microsoft’s very own services agreement (6b), they state the following:

“We strive to keep the Services up and running; however, they are not offered with a guaranteed level of quality of service and all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages. In the event of an outage or disruption to the Service, you may temporarily not be able to retrieve Your Content. We recommend that you regularly backup Your Content and Data that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services.”

Third-party software guarantees you an extra layer of security to help keep your data safe and stored correctly. So what solutions do we recommend?

Domain fraud protection

Barracuda Sentinel prevents malicious parties from spoofing your domain via brand impersonation attacks. It leverages DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance) to block illegitimate emails sent from your domain, giving you full control over your brand.

Phishing protection

Phishing is the most common form of cyber attack. In fact, 32% of UK businesses identified a phishing attack in 2022. Barracuda Impersonation Protection’s AI-based threat detection learns about your environment and detects these malicious emails in real-time, blocking attacks before they hit your inbox.

Account takeover protection

Prevention, detection, and remediation; these are the 3 steps used by Barracuda Impersonation Protection to combat account takeover attacks. AI is used to detect and block targeted phishing attacks that harvest your private credentials. Sentinel then detects when an account has been compromised, alerting your team and locking attackers out. All malicious and fraudulent email activity is then removed from your account, allowing you to continue operating securely.

Impersonation protection

Social engineered attacks are used by cyber criminals to impersonate trustworthy personnel within an organisation, usually in a senior position such as Director or CEO. Sentinel uses AI to learn your organisation’s communication patterns and analyse your Microsoft 365 environment for anomalies, detecting and preventing targeted attacks, business email compromise and CEO fraud.

Spam, Malware & Advanced Threat Protection

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) utilises behavioural, heuristic, and sandboxing technologies to protect your business against targeted attacks. Your email attachments will be scanned automatically, ensuring that any suspicious files are blocked in real-time. When a suspicious attachment is identified, information about the file will be integrated into Barracuda’s Real-Time System, preventing any other business with Complete Protection Suite from receiving it in the future. Inbound filtering is also used to cleanse inbound emails, further protecting your business from email-borne malware, viruses and spam.

Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

Emails are vulnerable to corruption and are often unrecoverable if they have been deleted as a result of a malicious attack (or accidentally). Ensure data protection and implement secure, third-party cloud backup across your business’ Microsoft 365 environment, including Exchange Online mailboxes, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Teams. With unlimited storage, accessing your deleted files is quick and easy.

Cloud Archiving & Compliance

Barracuda’s Cloud Archiving Service captures and stores an accurate copy of each email when it is sent or received. Indexed archiving features such as multi-level search and tagging make it easy to keep track of all inbound and outbound emails, and with unlimited storage per user, you no longer need to store emails on your Exchange Server or within your Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Deploy tamper-proof archiving and granular retention policies across your environment and ensure regulatory compliance throughout your business.

Link Protection

Attackers often rely on URLs that contain malicious code to carry out their illegal activities. If an unsuspecting user clicks on one of these links, malware is discreetly downloaded onto their machine, and in many cases a much wider attack is triggered across the business. Barracuda Link Protection combats malicious URLs by rewriting them and blocking them from employees. Rewritten URLs never expire.

Barracuda Incident Response

80% of companies who experience an attack on their email system take more than 6 hours to react. During this time, even the most basic attacks can evolve into much bigger and much more serious threats.

Manually responding to email-borne attacks can be very time-consuming. Automatically identify the nature and severity of the attack, dispose of malicious emails and carry out rapid remediation actions to reduce the time between threat detection and correction from 6 hours to just 6 minutes.

Using internal delivered-email data and community-sourced intelligence, Barracuda Incident Response identifies cloud security threats proactively as well. Identify anomalies and protect your business from future threats.

Azure Active Directory

Azure Active Directory, otherwise known as Azure AD, is Microsoft’s cloud-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) service with integrated security and automation features. Azure AD enables you to configure which services and resources a user or group can access, protecting them as well as your sensitive business data.

Robust authentication and risk-based adaptive access policies ensure your important business data and resources are protected, all without compromising on user experience.

  • Configurable Conditional Access policies based on context and risk assessment.
  • Flexible, user-friendly multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  • User and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) in Identity Protection to protect against identity compromise.

Azure AD boosts efficiency and productivity across your teams whilst delivering a swift password management and sign-in experience. What’s more Azure AD is proven to increase end-user adoption.

  • Single sign-on (SSO) for any user type and any identity.
  • End-user self-service portal to discover and launch applications, request access, and manage profile.
  • Convenient, secure options for multi-factor authentication (MFA) with or without passwords.

Improve visibility and control across your organisation by accessing all of your applications and managing your identities in a central location, for both cloud and on-premise solutions.

  • Connect any app in any cloud or datacentre across your hybrid environment.
  • Efficient identity management and administration for employees, partners and customers.
  • Manage role-based RBAC for fine-grained access controls and delegated administration.
  • Commitment to open standards and interoperability.

Automated identity governance enables you to restrict access to specific apps and data for users or groups across your organisation, ensuring only authorised personnel have access.

  • Automatic provisioning and de-provisioning of identity lifecycle (connected to HR platform).
  • Grant and review access with entitlement management, access reviews, and request workflows.
  • Privileged identity management with time-limited access.
  • Easy audit and compliance reporting.
