Ai Security

AI security solutions for safe generative AI adoption

Barracuda AI Security helps businesses uncover generative AI (GenAI) use, strengthen AI governance and accelerate adoption safely.

The GenAI opportunity

Artificial intelligence (AI), especially GenAI, is changing how teams work — enabling faster output, reducing manual work and opening new avenues for differentiation.

AI adoption is accelerating, and businesses that govern AI effectively are better positioned to scale it. Effective AI governance and AI data governance help businesses scale AI adoption while maintaining visibility and control.

Why governance is now table stakes

AI is already at work in your organization

The productivity gains are undeniable, and governance programs are struggling to keep up with how quickly AI use is expanding across businesses. Employees are already using GenAI tools to work faster, but sensitive data, customer information and intellectual property often move right along with them.

Until recently, businesses had only two choices: move fast with AI and risk data exposure or lock down AI and slow innovation. That trade-off no longer works. Governance doesn’t slow down innovation — it’s the foundation for safely scaling AI with visibility, control and confidence. And as AI moves into everyday workflows, safe adoption becomes a leadership responsibility tied directly to data protection, compliance and business growth.

The goal isn’t to slow down AI. It’s to make adoption visible, governed and safe — so your teams can keep moving with confidence.

One platform for securing AI, end to end

Barracuda AI Security is built to help businesses govern AI adoption, protect sensitive data and secure AI applications and agents. It’s delivered through BarracudaONE®, so you add AI protection to the platform you already use — no separate console, no standalone tool.

Accelerate AI adoption safely

See, guide, accelerate

Most businesses don’t secure AI all at once — they follow a natural path. Barracuda® AI Data Security gives you the visibility and control to scale AI with confidence.

Start your AI security journey by seeing which AI tools are already in use, then protecting sensitive data before it reaches GenAI tools. This practical approach strengthens GenAI security as adoption grows.

Step 1 - See it: Shadow AI

Where is AI already being used?

See the AI already in use across your business, understand the risk each tool carries and set boundaries that guide employees toward safe, approved choices — all without complex setup or specialized AI security expertise.

Automatic discovery of AI tools in use
AI risk classification for each service
Simple workflows to approve, block or guide users toward approved tools

Step 2 - Protect it: Barracuda AI Data Security

What data is going into AI?

Inspect prompts and uploads before they reach GenAI tools, block or warn about sensitive data and produce evidence that demonstrates the controls you have in place are working.

Real-time inspection of AI prompts and uploads
Prebuilt detection for personally identifiable information (PII), credentials, source code, payment cards, health data, and more
Exportable, audit-ready evidence for insurers and auditors

Practical AI security for lean IT and security teams

Most AI governance and data security tools are built — and priced — for large enterprises. Barracuda delivers practical, accessible AI protection that helps lean IT and security teams secure AI adoption without added complexity. Barracuda AI Data Security also supports data security posture management by helping businesses understand how sensitive data interacts with GenAI tools.

Easy and fast to adopt

Prebuilt detection helps teams get started quickly. Familiar policy workflows reduce training. Barracuda’s Bailey™ AI assistant guides setup in plain language and helps admins create policies, understand detection options and choose settings for common use cases.

One platform, one relationship

AI Data Security is managed through the BarracudaONE platform and integrated across the Barracuda security portfolio. That means one familiar platform experience — not another standalone console or disconnected tool to manage.

Real protection, without the enterprise overhead

AI data protection — including inspection, enforcement and audit-ready evidence — is delivered without enterprise minimums or drawn-out procurement processes. It’s built for the staffing and budget realities of resource-constrained businesses.
