About Barracuda
Barracuda XDR Cloud Security is a managed security service that provides monitoring for malicious activity in the cloud to find potential identity, privilege, and asset risks such as unauthorised access to cloud mailboxes and infrastructure, admin changes in the environment, inbox rules, impossible logins, and brute force attacks. Barracuda XDR detects threats faster with a Managed XDR platform, backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) to streamline response to incidents reducing the damage the attack can do to your customers.
Barracuda benefits
Cost-Effective Cybersecurity Solution
By outsourcing security operations to Barracuda, organisations can achieve high levels of security without the high cost of building and maintaining their own SOC. Managed SOC services are typically offered at a fixed rate, providing predictable costs.
Scalability and Flexibility
The service is designed to be scalable, adapting to an organisation’s needs as they grow or as their threat landscape evolves. This flexibility is beneficial for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises.
Vendor-Agnostic Telemetry
The growing list of technology integrations allows the Barracuda XDR teams to monitor commonly requested data sources. Proprietary detections are powered by machine learning (ML) and are mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, allowing Barracuda XDR to detect threat actors faster and predict their next move.
Access to Skilled Security Experts
With Barracuda, organisations have direct access to a team of seasoned cybersecurity professionals who have experience with a variety of threat landscapes. This reduces the need to hire and retain expensive in-house security experts, making cybersecurity more affordable and accessible.
Reduced Operational Complexity and Overhead
Managed SOC services reduce the complexity and overhead involved in managing cybersecurity infrastructure, allowing internal IT teams to focus on other strategic initiatives without needing to worry about security management.
Bridging the IT Security Skills Gap
Amid a global shortage of cybersecurity professionals, a SOC (especially a managed SOC service) gives companies access to critical security skills that might be difficult to recruit and retain in-house. The value of a SOC comes from its team members’ high level of expertise and experience. An organisation’s SOC can take on many structures and involve different personnel roles. However, here are five key roles found across most security operations center (SOC) teams.
Access to Advanced Technologies
SOCs typically use the latest security technologies and solutions. This helps organisations keep up with the evolving threat landscape without continually investing in new tools and technologies.
Barracuda is a great solution for cybersecurity, as it provides comprehensive, easy-to-use, and scalable cloud-based security tools to combat advanced threats like spam, malware, phishing, and ransomware, making it a reliable choice for businesses of all sizes to protect their data and networks effectively.
