Getting Started

Barracuda Data Inspector automatically scans your OneDrive for Business and SharePoint data for both sensitive information and malicious files. New issues are automatically identified without the need to configure scanners or schedules, and customizable email alerts keep you fully informed so you can respond quickly.
