Barracuda Email Gateway Defense Updates

New React Platform Launch for End User Interface

Barracuda expands new React platform to Email Gateway Defense

Barracuda has been working extremely hard over the past year to bring all our solutions to a new, modern, front-end technology stack (ReactJS). You may have already seen the new UI in our other solutions (Impersonation Protection and Incident Response). This new framework will allow us to build new UI features much quicker, which means faster updates for our customers. We are pleased to announce that the new React platform has now been launched on the end user interface of Email Gateway Defense.

Additional information to be aware of:

This platform launch is a 1-for-1 migration from the old framework, which means that there are no new features/capabilities at this time, just a new “skin” or “look and feel.” However, this migration will allow us to add new features or make changes to our products much more quickly in the future.
This launch is for the end user portion of the product only. We’ve begun work on the admin interface and will have a beta version available for users to try.
This new interface will be rolled out slowly to end users over the next 4 weeks to be completed by the end of May 2023.
Only accounts with a “User” role will see the new UI. If you have set a user as a “domain admin” or “helpdesk” role within EGD, they will need to be set to “user” in order to see the new UI. This is NOT the same thing as setting up an administrator through Barracuda Cloud Control.

Please see image below for an example of the new UI.

Report Messages and Provide Feedback from the Outlook Add-in

2021-06-23T23:18:23.520Z

Now, you can use the Outlook Add-In to report suspicious messages and also provide feedback. When you click on the Outlook Add-In, you can simply submit the message as suspicious or choose to provide details as to why you think that message was suspicious. To do so, click Report & Provide Feedback, and you will be redirected to a feedback response form. Your feedback is extremely important to us. Providing additional details helps us improve our systems and allows better understanding of your email preferences.

Feedback on Reported Messages

2021-01-26T00:07:00.001Z

When you report an email as incorrectly blocked or incorrectly delivered, in addition to the submission confirmation, you will also be asked to provide additional details as to why you think that message was incorrectly delivered or incorrectly blocked.
If you choose to provide these details, you will be redirected to a feedback response form to select a reason from a list of options or to type in a reason.

Your feedback is extremely important to us. Providing additional details will help us improve our systems and allow better understanding of your email preferences.

Note that reporting a message does not automatically block or deliver all messages from that sender. To immediately allow or block certain email addresses or domains, you can create a sender policy on the Inbound Settings>Sender Policies page.

Scanning inside Attachments for Links that Point to Malicious Websites

2018-08-01T00:08:00.001Z

Essentials now scans for links that are inside documents sent as attachments in emails. Scanning occurs at the time of email delivery, when the email is processed, and not at the time of click. Messages determined to contain malicious content can be blocked, quarantined, or ignored.
