The acquisition expands BarracudaONE with advanced identity and access management capabilities, strengthening security for managed service providers.
Barracuda Networks, Inc., a company specializing in cyber resilience solutions that simplify security for businesses of all sizes, has revealed the acquisition of Evo Security, a provider of identity and access management solutions designed specifically for managed service providers (MSPs). This purchase broadens the identity management security features of the BarracudaONE platform, establishing it as the leading partner-focused platform that integrates privileged access management, access control, identity protection, and identity threat detection and response.
By merging Evo Security's identity products with Barracuda's current identity-focused measures, BarracudaONE provides a cohesive identity security framework across a sole platform. This comes at a time when worldwide IAM spending is escalating significantly each year, as per reputable industry experts. This consolidated strategy offers partners a unified environment to offer comprehensive identity robustness, while clients receive contemporary security without the hassle of managing various tools separately.
“In the agentic AI era, protecting both human and non-human identities is imperative for delivering cyber resilience. Existing enterprise identity solutions are complex, costly and fail to meet the needs of MSPs that must scale to securely manage millions of identities across thousands of customer environments.” - Rohit Ghai, Barracuda Chief Executive Officer.
According to the reports tracked by CIO Bulletin, the purchase comes after a time when identity has transitioned from being a single IT task to becoming a key part of security design. The rise of AI assistants, cloud utilities, and machine authentications has increased the quantity of accounts that companies need to safeguard, exceeding the usual amount from the era when most identity systems were created. This change has prompted suppliers to merge identity, access management, and threat recognition into integrated platforms instead of individual products.
Barracuda is a prominent worldwide cybersecurity firm that offers comprehensive resilience in an accessible manner through a strategy that prioritizes partners. The advanced BarracudaONE platform offers cybersecurity resilience for various aspects like email, data, applications, networks, and managed XDR within an inclusive environment. With a strong reputation among numerous organizations and partners globally, Barracuda provides top-notch solutions and assistance, driven by human expertise and improved by artificial intelligence, catering to businesses of all scales.
