Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection

Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection was developed to address the growing need for advanced security solutions against evolving cyber threats. The service was introduced by Barracuda Networks, leveraging their expertise in network and email security. It aimed to provide comprehensive protection through multi-layered threat detection technologies, including sandboxing and behavioral analysis, to combat sophisticated malware and zero-day exploits.

Strengths of Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection include multi-layered detection, real-time protection, and integration with other Barracuda security solutions.
