“At Barracuda, we strive to make the world a safer place. We believe every business deserves access to cloud-first, enterprise-grade security solutions that are easy to buy, deploy, and use. We protect email, networks, data and applications with innovative solutions that grow and adapt with our customers' journey.”

That is the mission of Barracuda, and it’s no wonder that hundreds of thousands of organizations worldwide trust Barracuda to protect and support them so they can focus on taking their business to the next level.

Now, new flexibility and simplicity are offered for Barracuda's customers in licensing, procurement and deployment. This is thanks to its Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (News - Alert).

The SCA includes significant investments in marketing development funds, proof of concept funding and Independent Software Vendor workload migration funding. The SCA also lets Barracuda utilize its partner-only focus and the wide range of Barracuda security solutions available in AWS Marketplace to help resellers and MSPs accelerate their customers' migration to the cloud.

“Creating new incentives for customers to choose Barracuda offerings in AWS Marketplace aligns with our strategy of simplifying the process of accessing and deploying cloud-based security solutions,” said Nicole Napiltonia, Vice President of Global Alliances at Barracuda. “We are empowering customers to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives by protecting their data and applications so they can leverage the scalability and flexibility of the cloud.”

The SCA strengthens Barracuda's existing relationship with AWS. Barracuda was among the first ISVs to achieve the AWS Security Competency status for Web Application Firewall and DDoS. This involved completing the AWS Foundational Technical Review to identify and remediate risks in software or solutions. Barracuda was also one of the ISVs to announce support for Amazon Security Lake when it launched.

Furthermore, Barracuda's application security, network security, email security and data protection solutions are already available within AWS Marketplace.

“We are excited to collaborate with Barracuda Networks (News - Alert) to help organizations streamline their migration to the cloud while strengthening their security posture,” said Alan Braun, Director, Technology Partnerships, Americas at AWS. “This agreement underscores our shared commitment to providing customers with scalable solutions that are easy to deploy and manage so they can innovate faster and operate more securely in the cloud.”

The SCA solidifies the value of Barracuda and AWS to provide flexibility and unlock greater business value for customers across industries.
