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 to provide end-to-end coverage for its customers' IT operations. It invests heavily in R&D and product development to keep on top of new (and increasingly prevalent) email phishing scams, as well as incorporated XDR capabilities to close security gaps generated by the rise in hybrid and remote working.

It was acquired in 2022 by KKR, a global investment firm, and is using the investment of capital to further improve its product, grow its team and expand its marketing reach.
