Barracuda Forensics & Incident Response enables your IT team to identify, track, and resolve email attacks from outside or inside your organization, for example, a phishing or ransomware attack. You can search for any allowed email (by subject and/or sender) that your users may report to you as malicious and perform remediation action on the same. Remediation options include the ability to delete a message in a user's inbox, and the ability to send an incident summary to the user. If users click on a fraudulent link in an email, Barracuda Forensics & Incident Response allows you to identify these users for potential security concerns on their workstations, and determine if additional security actions are necessary.
