Expanded protection across email, network and generative AI

BarracudaONE provides an easy, complete, open, and intelligent ecosystem for true resilience.

Email Security for Google Workspace

Barracuda Email Protection now extends advanced impersonation protection and automated incident response to Google Workspace, helping businesses defend against phishing, account takeover and other attacks. Customers and MSPs can apply consistent, compliant email security across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, reducing risk, complexity and recovery time.

SecureEdge Access for Network Edge Security

New Barracuda SecureEdge Access capabilities deliver a SaaS-based approach to securing users and controlling network access across distributed environments. The cloud‑delivered, fully integrated secure service edge solution brings together secure internet access, zero trust application access, firewall‑as‑a‑service, and visibility and policy controls for generative AI usage. Available plans include:

  • DNS Access for secure internet access and visibility into generative AI usage
  • Private Access with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for internal applications
  • Internet Access with cloud-delivered Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS)
  • Premium Access for a complete Secure Service Edge (SSE) solution

These capabilities reduce complexity and tool sprawl while ensuring consistent protection for hybrid and remote workforces.

Generative AI Risk Visibility

Barracuda AI Security is a new capability that will be available in BarracudaONE, included at no additional cost. It provides safe, compliant oversight of generative AI usage, with visibility into shadow AI activity, risk scoring and policy enforcement to block or redirect non-compliant use.

MSPs can use centralized, multitenant dashboards to deliver AI risk assessments and managed services.

A modernized partner program

Barracuda is evolving its global Partner Success Program to support how today’s partners operate – rolling MSPs and resellers into one unified, flexible program. The new fit‑for‑purpose model supports multiple routes to market and makes it easier for partners to accelerate growth with BarracudaONE.

The updated program introduces:

  • Unified tiering with expanded benefits and incentives for all partners
  • Enhanced rebates designed to drive predictable, profitable growth
  • Barracuda Mastery Program, delivering deeper technical expertise beyond traditional certifications
  • New support plans aligned to partner tiers, rolling out in the coming months

Improved partner portal

The new Barracuda partner portal delivers an integrated experience for all partner types with guided onboarding, automated deal registration, performance dashboards, personalized learning paths, simplified MDF management, and easy access to co-brandable assets and enablement resources.
