Highlights:
- Barracuda and Zscaler partner to bring customers scalable,
high-performance, and affordable cloud-delivered web security.
- Barracuda customers will benefit from the new Barracuda Web
Security Service, which is powered by the
Zscaler™ cloud-delivered internet security

Barracuda Networks, Inc. (NYSE: CUDA) and Zscaler, Inc. today
announced that they are collaborating to bring customers
comprehensive, scalable and high-performance cloud-based web
security without the cost, complexity, or overhead associated with
extensive on-premises equipment. Barracuda customers will now have
access to Zscaler's award-winning cloud-delivered internet security
service, and the relationship enables Zscaler to access Barracuda's
proven go-to-market channels for the SME/midmarket.
"Barracuda's powerful security solutions provide customers with
a complete and affordable way to easily manage security across
their networks, applications, and data, regardless of where they
reside — on-premises, virtual, or in cloud environments," said
Sanjay Ramnath, vice president of
security products at Barracuda. "This collaboration
extends our platform's cloud security functionality by utilizing
Zscaler's highly scalable security service to protect users
accessing the internet from anywhere, using any device."
"Barracuda's success in servicing young companies and midmarket
enterprises with a comprehensive platform of easy-to-use security
and data protection solutions speaks for itself," said
Punit Minocha, vice president of
business development at Zscaler. "This joint effort brings
together Zscaler's ability to provide high-performance,
cloud-delivered internet security with Barracuda's experience in
the small and midsize market to provide comprehensive security that
is easy to deploy at an affordable price."
Adoption of Cloud Services Requires Security in the
Cloud
As many midsize organizations expand their operations,
they increasingly rely on cloud services and SaaS applications,
like Office 365 and Salesforce, to improve productivity, reduce
costs, and provide business-critical resources to an increasingly
distributed workforce. For them, the internet is the new corporate
network, and their IT departments need to secure all users from
rapidly evolving attacks and enforce company policy regardless of
where employees are located or what devices they are using. The
Zscaler cloud-delivered protection that powers the Barracuda Web
Security Service provides this capability.
Barracuda Web Security Service Powered by Zscaler
The
Barracuda Web Security Service is a multi-tenant, cloud-delivered
internet security service that includes the following key
capabilities:
- Inline threat protection with multiple layers of security,
providing comprehensive inbound and outbound content inspection of
all traffic in order to prevent malware and botnet attacks.
