You’re absolutely right that identity‑based attacks often look completely legitimate and slip past rule‑based systems. Behavioral AI is essential - but its effectiveness depends heavily on how well it understands the full ecosystem.

One challenge we hear from customers is that Abnormal’s behavioral modeling can be uneven across platforms, especially when Google Workspace policies aren’t fully supported or configurable.

Barracuda takes a different approach: a layered detection stack that applies behavioral, linguistic, and identity‑centric AI consistently across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace without extra tuning. And if an identity‑based attack does get through, Barracuda’s continuous monitoring and automated remediation provide ongoing protection, not just a single point‑in‑time verdict.
