Collaboration reinforces Barracuda's strategy
for working with AWS to make solutions available to customers
in new ways
CAMPBELL, Calif., July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Barracuda Networks, Inc., a
trusted partner and leading provider of cloud-first security
solutions, has signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA)
with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The SCA will help provide new
flexibility and simplicity for Barracuda's customers in licensing,
procurement, and deployment. It includes significant investments in
marketing development funds, proof of concept funding, and
Independent Software Vendor (ISV) workload migration funding. The
SCA also enables Barracuda to leverage its partner-only focus
and the wide range of Barracuda security solutions available in AWS
Marketplace to help resellers and managed service providers
(MSPs) accelerate their customers' migration to the cloud.
The SCA strengthens Barracuda's deep, existing relationship with
AWS. Barracuda's application security, network security, email
security, and data protection solutions are already available
within AWS Marketplace. AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog with
thousands of software listings from ISVs that make it easy to find,
test, buy, and deploy software that runs on AWS.
"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, VP 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."
"We are excited to collaborate with Barracuda Networks 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."
Barracuda is a long-standing AWS Partner with multiple AWS
validated qualifications, including AWS Public Sector Partner, AWS
Marketplace Seller, and AWS GovCloud (US) Delivery Partner.
Barracuda was among the first ISVs to achieve the AWS Security
Competency status for Web Application Firewall (WAF) and
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). This involved completing the
AWS Foundational Technical Review (AWS FTR) 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.
"We deployed Barracuda CloudGen Firewall within AWS Marketplace
which has greatly simplified the procurement process and improved
our network security at the same time," said John Pesavento, VP of Technology, The Orvis
Company, Inc. "Collaborations like Barracuda and AWS are
critically important to us as we continue to migrate our solutions
to the cloud."
This SCA underscores the value of Barracuda and AWS to provide
flexibility and unlock greater business value for customers across
industries. For more information, please visit:
