Our take
In an increasingly online world, with email hacks and data leaks becoming more and more common, cyber security is more important than ever. Barracuda aims to provide this with its comprehensive suite of security software.
It offers a number of packages, focusing on email security, app and cloud protection, network security and data protection. By investing heavily in R&D and product development, Barracuda is able to keep on top of new (and increasingly prevalent) email phishing scams. Its incorporated XDR capabilities also close security gaps generated by the rise in hybrid and remote working.
Barracuda is an established player within the cyber security market, boasting over 200,000 enterprise customers including the likes of Shiseido, Carrefour and Accor. It was acquired in 2022 by KKR, a global investment firm, which has allowed it to further improve its product, grow its team and expand its marketing reach.
