Reader favorites from 2020

The end of the year is always a great time to show off some of our favorite content.  These are the most popular Barracuda blog posts of 2020.  We hope you enjoy them ;)

COVID-19

There’s no question that the pandemic was a hot topic for every IT publication this year.  Barracuda has published multiple articles adjusting to remote work, defending against pandemic-related phishing attacks, protecting web applications, and more.  Three of our most popular posts this year explored security and data protection challenges related to COVID-19:

• Threat Spotlight: Coronavirus-Related Phishing


• Coronavirus COVID-19 fraud: companies face new phishing attacks


• Surge in Security concerns due to remote working during COVID-19 crisis

Some questions never go away.  Why can’t I use my personal email for work?  What do you mean this spam isn’t spam?  System Administrators are always answering questions like this, and blog posts are easy to share on demand.  These posts are reader favorites year after year after year. 

• The business risks of personal email accounts


• Ham v Spam: What’s the difference


• Threat Vectors – what are they and why do you need to know about them?
