Barracuda XDR

Initially based on Barracuda’s acquisition of Skout Cybersecurity in 2021, Barracuda XDR (extended detection and response) has since been expanded to add a number of capabilities critical to MSPs. Those include an integration between the XDR platform and Barracuda’s CloudGen Firewall, which gives MSPs improved visibility into customer environments along with the ability to leverage a 24x7 Security Operations Center for a boost to their own efficiency. Other updates have included the company’s mapping of threat detection rules to the widely used MITRE ATT&CK framework, as well as the addition of SOAR (security orchestration, automation and response) capabilities to its SOC offering.
