Barracuda rolls out proactive Managed Vulnerability Security solution

Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security delivers expert-led scanning, analysis, and contextual reporting across networks and cloud infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities in endpoints, servers, IoT devices, firewalls, and other systems—even when not linked to known exploits

Barracuda Networks, a leading cybersecurity provider protecting businesses of all sizes from complex threats, has announced the launch of Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security. This fully managed service, powered by Barracuda’s global Security Operations Center (SOC), expands the capabilities of the BarracudaONE platform by helping organizations proactively identify, assess, and prioritize vulnerabilities. The service is designed to reduce risk, enhance threat visibility, and strengthen overall security resilience. 

"By proactively identifying vulnerabilities, we can better predict the likelihood of an attack, giving both Barracuda and our customers a decisive edge to stop threats before they’re exploited and reduce cyber risk,” said Adam Khan, vice president of global security operations at Barracuda. “Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security delivers deep visibility into risks across environments – without the burden of managing additional tools or hiring hard-to-find and retain security operations specialists. With expert guidance and smart prioritization, it streamlines remediation and transforms how organizations manage vulnerabilities and defend against today’s sophisticated attacks.”

Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security provides expert-led vulnerability scanning, analysis, and contextual reporting across organizations’ networks and cloud infrastructure. The service uncovers vulnerabilities across a broad range of hardware and software, including endpoints, servers, IoT devices, firewalls, and other network-connected systems, regardless of whether those vulnerabilities are associated with known exploits.

Organizations receive detailed, actionable reports, including an audit summary and prioritized remediation plan. These insights help organizations clearly understand their risk exposure and make informed decisions aligned with both their security objectives and compliance requirements. Regular vulnerability scans play a critical role in helping organizations meet regulatory guidelines such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), Network Information Security 2 (NIS2), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and others by supporting ongoing risk assessment, mitigation and audit readiness.

Availability

Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security is now available to both new and existing customers through Barracuda’s global network of resellers and Managed Service Providers.

The service can be deployed on its own or seamlessly integrated with Barracuda Managed XDR, a 24/7/365 threat detection and response offering that leverages advanced AI analytics and threat intelligence to prevent breaches. When combined, customers gain a unified, fully managed security experience that streamlines vendor management, accelerates vulnerability and threat detection and remediation, and enhances operational efficiency.

What Partners Say

“The new Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security offers an easy and effective way to identify vulnerabilities across our customers’ environments,” said Dominik Meier, chief technology officer at Vistasys AG. “All we need to do is register the appliances for vulnerability scanning, and Barracuda’s SOC team handles the rest. They perform the scanning and deliver a clear report with actionable recommendations. This not only strengthens our customers’ security but also saves us valuable time and internal resources.”
