From Backup to Business Continuity: Secure Microsoft 365 in Minutes

Are you still relying on backup alone to protect your Microsoft 365 environment? Today’s cyber threats are smarter, faster, and more damaging – you need cyber resilience, not just recovery.

The Threat Landscape Has Changed

  • Microsoft faces over 600 million cybercriminal and nation-state attacks every day [1]
  • The City of Dallas spent 40,000+ hours recovering from one ransomware incident [2]

Backup simply isn’t enough. It doesn’t detect threats. It doesn’t prevent damage. It only helps you after the breach.

From Reactive to Resilient

Modern security is a three-part story:

  • Detection: Spot threats early, before they spread
  • Protection: Automatically respond and contain
  • Recovery: Restore clean data fast, without reinfection

Barracuda’s XDR for Microsoft 365 brings these together into one solution.

Why You Need More Than Backup

Microsoft’s Shared Responsibility Model makes it clear: you are responsible for your own data. 

Traditional backup solutions are:

  • Reactive: they help after the damage is done
  • Slow: BEC or identity theft can take weeks to resolve
  • Blind: they don’t monitor for malicious activity

Barracuda’s platform cuts these timelines drastically:

  1. Malware resolution: from weeks to 1 hour
  2. Identity theft: from 4 weeks to 2 hours
  3. Insider threat: from months to a few hours

What Makes Barracuda Different?

XDR for Microsoft 365 includes:

  • 24/7 SOC monitoring
  • Automated remediation
  • Behaviour-based threat detection
  • Air-gapped backup to prevent reinfection
  • Real-time alerts and outbound calls for high-risk activity
