Barracuda featured on CRN’s 2023 Security 100 List

We’re excited to share that today announced that CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Barracuda to its annual Security 100 list for the seventh year in a row. Recognizing leading IT channel security leaders, the Security 100 list honorees bring a combination of channel focus and trailblazing, innovative technology to solution providers.  

Today, security continues to be a top concern for organizations of all sizes in all industries as hybrid-remote work becomes the new normal. Growing concerns around cybersecurity and critical data loss coupled with the need for protection from increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats is expected to fuel further market growth.

Recipients chosen for this year’s Security 100 list have been specifically selected by CRN editors for their outstanding channel-focused security offerings across five categories: Identity Management and Data Protection; Endpoint and Managed Security; Network Security; Web, Email and Application Security; and Security Operations, Risk and Threat Intelligence. This list serves as a comprehensive guide for solution providers, helping them to identify the top security vendors to team with as they build innovative solutions for their customers.

Barracuda was recognized in the Web, Email and Application Security category. CRN pointed to our broad suite of security offerings, including email protection, application security, network security and data protection, as well as our expansion into extended detection and response with Barracuda XDR.

These companies are laying the groundwork for the most advanced cybersecurity solutions,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company.
