We are thrilled to introduce the BarracudaONE, an AI-powered cybersecurity platform, that delivers integrated products accessible from a centralized dashboard. BarracudaONE maximizes protection and cyber resilience, and is easy to buy, deploy and use.
BarracudaONE empowers IT teams, business leaders and managed service providers (MSPs) through several key capabilities:
- AI-powered threat intelligence that strengthens real-time detection and response and is constantly improving and getting stronger through real-time feedback.
- Automated reports that convert technical metrics into business value, enabling better communication of ROI with stakeholders
- Integrated with Barracuda AI for natural language queries to improve productivity
- Unified dashboard provides centralized visibility and control
- Consolidated alerts to improve response time and eliminate alert fatigue and context switching
- Deployment health capabilities that harden your entire system and empower teams to identify and remediate security gaps and misconfigurations
- License management and easy access to new solutions through the BarracudaONE unified interface
BarracudaONE protects email, data, applications, and networks, and is strengthened by a 24/7 managed XDR service.
Barracuda has a long history of developing artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) capabilities to strengthen defenses across multiple threat vectors. Our AI is integrated across all Barracuda solutions, constantly learning and sharing threat information from thousands of endpoints, signals and telemetry. BarracudaONE is powered by an innovative AI engine that continuously evolves to enhance threat detection and response.

Transform relationships with measurable reporting
Many business or department leaders are responsible for managing risk and budgets, but they aren’t cybersecurity experts. The value reports offered by BarracudaONE can make their jobs easier by generating clear and accessible summaries tailored to non-technical stakeholders.
BarracudaONE value reports can help your company:
- Explain cybersecurity outcomes in non-technical terms
- Clarify the return on investment (ROI) of security initiatives
- Justify budget and resource requests for future initiatives
- Align cybersecurity operations and business objectives
From an MSP perspective, these reports are very powerful:
- Strengthen client relationships and differentiate from competitors through transparent, data-driven reporting
- Justify service pricing by demonstrating the ROI of your services
- Win contract renewals by providing evidence of threats prevented and systems protected
- Expand service offerings by demonstrating alignment between cybersecurity operations and business objectives
By connecting defensive activities to measurable business outcomes, MSPs can provide tangible proof of service effectiveness and ROI. This visibility turns IT security from a cost center into a strategic partnership.

Close gaps with BarracudaONE across a single domain or hundreds of client environments
Security misconfigurations are among the most common breach vectors. BarracudaONE mitigates these risks with multi-vector visibility that flags misconfigured tools, offers configuration recommendations and helps IT teams close exposure gaps before they become incidents.
A key capability of BarracudaONE deployment health features is the real-time insight into product purchases and activations. This helps IT teams ensure that security tools are in use as planned.
For MSPs managing dozens, hundreds or even thousands of client environments, these insights extend across all customers. This ensures that security tools are deployed and working as planned and helps MSPs remain in compliance with their service level agreements (SLAs). It also supports efforts to avoid security gaps that might damage the MSP’s reputation.
These comprehensive and real-time insights are critical to maintaining a strong security posture and meeting compliance objectives. Threat actors move quickly to adapt to the latest countermeasures and accelerate their attacks through a growing criminal ecosystem. Our AI-powered cybersecurity platform keeps your company in a position to defend itself from these threats.

Make alerts more actionable
Security teams can’t effectively protect their organizations when they’re overwhelmed by alerts from disconnected tools. Many of these alerts are false positives, and treating each one with the same urgency wastes time and drains IT resources. This often leads to alert fatigue—when teams become so overloaded they begin to ignore alerts altogether—leaving the company more vulnerable.
BarracudaONE streamlines detection and response by automatically correlating threat data across multiple security layers. It delivers a unified alert feed, eliminating the need to switch between tools and improving situational awareness. With a single investigation workflow, teams can more easily triage and prioritize real threats.
Platform-wide benefits of BarracudaONE
Multiple layers of AI: The powerful functions of BarracudaONE are enabled by Barracuda’s innovative AI engine. Features like natural language queries (“show suspicious logins”), automated threat response and predictive analytics help reduce the administrative burden on the staff. Our proven AI platform helps defenders improve response times and minimize the risks of human error.
Single Sign-On (SSO) and consistent, unified navigation: There’s no need to create multiple logins or learn different interfaces. BarracudaONE uses SSO and an intuitive, centralized dashboard. This reduces administrative overhead and onboarding time, and there’s no ‘SSO tax’ like you get from other vendors.
Cost effectiveness: BarracudaONE supports vendor consolidation, which has multiple benefits. Vendor consolidation has been found to reduce support costs and integration delays, require less training for staff, and lower overall support costs.
Faster ROI: AI-powered tools, pre-configured modules and automated reporting are just a few of the features that deliver immediate value. BarracudaONE delivers protection and advanced insights from day one.

BarracudaONE streamlines the full cybersecurity lifecycle and makes defense-in-depth easy to buy, deploy and use. What’s more, it offers a clear path forward out of multiple vendors and security products. One AI-powered platform, one unified dashboard, one comprehensive deployment and security management strategy.
BarracudaONE is now available at no additional cost to channel partners and customers using Barracuda Email Protection, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup and Barracuda Data Inspector.
