Barracuda’s security portfolio give MSPs teeth to help customers overcome cybersecurity challenges

Many channel businesses are keen to expand into managed services but are constrained by shortfalls in expertise and resources. However, a compelling option is available for businesses that want to transition into managed services to meet the high demands.


Barracuda MSP, the managed service provider (MSP)-dedicated business unit of Barracuda Networks, enables channel businesses to provide comprehensive, effective managed security services.


Barracuda MSP’s security offerings include multi-layered security across all major attack surfaces, data protection, and an MSP platform (Barracuda XDR) that’s backed by an always-on Security Operations Centre (SOC).
