Barracuda will empower new and existing MSPs with managed service expertise in email security, extended detection and response (XDR) and remote monitoring and management.
Barracuda Networks has announced global support for MSPs to the Middle East. The move will enable channel organisations across the region to better support their customers through a comprehensive suite of managed security services. The launch underscores Barracuda’s commitment to supporting Middle East partners in creating or strengthening sustainable revenue streams. These services include threat prevention, detection, and response across attack surfaces such as email, endpoint, network, and more, creating layers of security around customers’ data, users, and reputation.
“Security skills and resourcing are key issues for companies, and most MSPs believe businesses are relying more on managed services providers to bridge any gaps, while the MSPs themselves are relying more on outsourcing, particularly in areas such as security operations centres. Seven in ten MSPs say they’d welcome more support from vendors. Barracuda is a partner-first organisation and is ideally placed to support MSPs, helping them to thrive in the competitive landscape of 2024 and beyond,” said Charbel Ghostine, Regional Channel & Alliances Director, META & East Med, Barracuda.
Barracuda will offer partners in the Middle East its full suite of MSP services, such as Email Security, Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and Security-Centric Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM). Not only this, Barracuda is collaborating with regional value-added distributors (VADs) – Mindware and Ingram Micro – to roll out and support its MSP services. The VADs will facilitate onboarding, offer comprehensive training and education, as well as marketing and sales support in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Egypt, and the Levant.
This announcement follows a string of initiatives that Barracuda has made in recent months to double down on partner and distributor profitability. Earlier this year, they enhanced the new Barracuda Partner Success Program and added an innovative new AI assistant to the Barracuda Partner Portal, bringing partners powerful search and enablement capabilities.
