Major law firm gains wide array of benefits from integrated platform solution

Like any law firm, LCA—headquartered in Milan, Italy, with offices in Belgium and UAE—has to take cybersecurity and regulatory compliance very seriously. 

But the firm’s IT Manager, Fabio Colombo, was frustrated by the complexity of managing multiple systems for backup, archiving, and email security for the company’s Microsoft 365 environment. 

Users were sometimes unable to locate important files using native archiving capabilities—critical for e-discovery and regulatory audits. An on-premises backup solution was difficult to manage and created unacceptable risks to business continuity. And their email security solution required constant manual operational oversight and created an unmanageable number of false-positive alerts.

Barracuda Email Protection to the rescue

“During a demo of Barracuda, I saw how to do things in a better, simpler, and faster way. So, I tried to push internally for the Barracuda solution, and to adopt it over a multi-year period for financial reasons.” — Fabio Colombo, IT Manager, LCA

Fabio was quickly sold on Barracuda Email Protection, our comprehensive platform for security and data protection in Microsoft 365. Once he was able to swing the budget for the investment, deployment, and configuration went incredibly smoothly. 

“It was extremely simple. We had a call with Barracuda and, more or less, the job was done in an hour.” — Fabio Colombo, IT Manager, LCA

“These are a few of my favorite features”

Barracuda Email Protection delivers a lot more than the name suggests. Sure, it includes state-of-the-art email security with AI-powered impersonation and phishing protection. But it also integrates lots of other capabilities that Fabio and his team are excited about, including:

• Automated Incident Response to remediate email security incidents in minutes—not hours or days

• Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, with unlimited storage, granular restore functions, and total reliability to ensure minimal disruptions in case business-critical data is lost for any reason (“There are lots of solutions that back up to the cloud, but they’re not all easy to manage. Barracuda makes things so simple for us and effective.”)

• Cloud Archiving Service, which ensures immutable archives that can be very easily searched to make e-discovery and regulatory auditing a breeze (“We’re speaking with our lawyers to try and get them to use this feature because it works way better than Microsoft in helping you find the emails you’re looking for.”)

• Security Awareness Training, Data Inspector, Domain Fraud Protection, and much more

Best of all, from Fabio’s point of view, is how simple it is to manage all these features through a single, easy-to-use dashboard that puts everything at his fingertips.

“I don’t need to configure anything manually because Barracuda speaks so naturally with Microsoft 365. … I monitor it constantly because I like it, but it actually works well independently.” — Fabio Colombo, IT Manager, LCA
