The services Barracuda will offer include threat prevention, detection and response across attack surfaces such as email, endpoint, network and more.

These services help create layers of security around customers’ data, users and reputation.

The launch is said to underscore the company’s commitment to supporting Middle East partners in creating or strengthening sustainable revenue streams.

Barracuda is also collaborating with regional distributors Mindware and Ingram Micro to help roll out and support its MSP services.

Mindware and Ingram Micro will facilitate onboarding, offer training and education as well as marketing and sales support in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Egypt and more.

“Key issues for companies”

“Security skills and resourcing are key issues for companies and most MSPs believe businesses are relying more on managed services providers to bridge any gaps, while the MSPs themselves are relying more on outsourcing, particularly in areas such as security operations centres,” said Charbel Ghostine, Regional Channel & Alliances Director, META & East Med, Barracuda.

“Seven in ten MSPs say they’d welcome more support from vendors.

“Barracuda is a partner-first organisation and is ideally placed to support MSPs, helping them to thrive in the competitive landscape of 2024 and beyond.”
