Emirtech Technology is an IT integrator and ADMCC-approved installer for security systems founded in 2018, operating from M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, and reachable on +971 55 651 7843. We implement, configure and operate Barracuda email security platforms across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain as a cost-conscious alternative to Mimecast and Proofpoint for SMB and mid-market organisations. Our delivery scope covers Barracuda Email Protection — the cloud-based unified email security suite — including Barracuda Email Gateway Defense (formerly Barracuda Essentials) for anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-phishing and link protection; Barracuda Sentinel / Impersonation Protection with AI for impersonation, account takeover and business email compromise (BEC) detection; Barracuda Content Shield for DNS and web filtering; Barracuda Phishline / Security Awareness Training for phishing simulation and user training; Barracuda Backup for Microsoft 365 covering Exchange Online mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams; and Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service for compliance retention and legal hold. We deploy in pre-MX configuration for inbound mail flow, with post-MX (journal-based) options where customers prefer to retain Exchange Online Protection as the primary MX, and we tune policies for Arabic and English content, sender authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC alignment), encryption rules and DLP filters. Honest scope statement: Emirtech is not a Barracuda Authorised Partner, Barracuda MSP Partner or Barracuda Premier Partner; we procure Barracuda subscriptions through authorised UAE distribution channels and provide commercial implementation and managed services on engagement basis. We hold no SIRA registration (Dubai), ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certification, and we do not operate a 24/7 SOC. We hold no manufacturer-level credential of our own. Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, and in Dubai: IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.

Why Abu Dhabi customers choose us
Operations based at M44, Mussafah Industrial Area with on-site delivery across Abu Dhabi city, Mussafah, Khalifa Industrial Zone, Yas Island and Al Ain. A documented commercial-services scope and no inflated partner claims (Emirtech's ADMCC approval covers security systems only, not email security).
Barracuda often lands below Mimecast or Proofpoint list pricing for comparable mailbox counts, making it attractive for SMB and mid-market customers who need credible filtering, BEC defence and archiving without enterprise-tier spend.
Single-vendor stack for gateway filtering, impersonation defence, web filtering, awareness training, M365 backup and archiving — simpler vendor management and consolidated console compared to multi-product Mimecast or Proofpoint deployments.
Policy tuning for Arabic and English content and common UAE phishing lures targeting trade licence renewals, courier deliveries and bank account verification scams.
Emirtech publishes an honest scope statement so prospective Abu Dhabi and Al Ain customers understand exactly which Barracuda services we deliver commercially and which credentials we do not hold.
If your shortlist requires a Barracuda Authorised Partner or Premier Partner badge, please disqualify Emirtech at the procurement stage. If you need straightforward commercial implementation of Barracuda Email Protection without inflated partner claims, we welcome the conversation.
Common questions
No. Emirtech is not a Barracuda Authorised Partner, Barracuda MSP Partner, Barracuda Premier Partner or Barracuda Diamond Partner. We are an independent IT integrator and ADMCC-approved installer for security systems that procures Barracuda subscriptions through authorised UAE distribution channels and provides implementation, configuration and managed tuning on commercial engagement basis. We hold no manufacturer-level credential of our own.
We implement Barracuda Email Protection (Advanced, Premium and Premium Plus editions), Barracuda Email Gateway Defense (formerly Essentials), Barracuda Sentinel / Impersonation Protection, Barracuda Content Shield for web filtering, Barracuda Phishline / Security Awareness Training, Barracuda Backup for Microsoft 365 and Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
Both. Pre-MX is the default for inbound filtering, where Barracuda becomes the primary MX record and forwards clean mail to Exchange Online or on-premises Exchange. Post-MX (journal-based) deployment is available where customers prefer to retain Exchange Online Protection as the primary MX and use Barracuda for additional Sentinel BEC defence, archiving or backup.
Barracuda is typically positioned as a cost-conscious alternative, often landing below Mimecast and Proofpoint list pricing for comparable mailbox counts. Feature coverage is broadly comparable for SMB and mid-market needs including anti-spam, anti-phishing, BEC defence, archiving and awareness training. Enterprise tenants with very large mailbox counts or specialist compliance needs often still prefer Mimecast or Proofpoint.
No. Emirtech does not operate a 24/7 SOC and holds no SIRA registration. We provide business-hours managed tuning, policy review and incident response support under a support retainer. Customers requiring 24/7 SOC monitoring should engage a specialist managed detection and response provider alongside Barracuda licensing.
