Symantec Messaging Gateway vs Barracuda Email Security Gateway

Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG)

SMG is an on-premise email security solution that provides inbound and outbound protection against the latest messaging threats, including ransomware, spear phishing and business email compromise.

It catches more than 99% of spam and provides built-in data protection capabilities that keep email secure and confidential. SMG effectively responds to new messaging threats with real-time antispam and antimalware intelligence.

Email Security Gateway (ESG)

Until recently ESG provided protection against inbound malware, spam, phishing, and DoS attacks.

It included complex yet customisable policies that enabled enforcement of detailed requirements that govern inbound email messages.

In May 2023, Barracuda recommended its users to replace all compromised ESG appliances, regardless of patch level.

Email Security Your Way: On-premise, Cloud-based or Hybrid

With Symantec Messaging Gateway you can build email protection around your current needs and have the peace of mind that it will adapt with you, as the business evolves.

SMG integrates with the wider Symantec portfolio for both Content and Malware Analysis for true in-depth defence. Further integration with Symantec’s Browser Isolation Technology ensures next-level protection against targeted phishing attacks. Security Operations Centre tools like SIEM or SOAR can also consolidate data feeds from the Symantec Messaging Gateway.
