Barracuda named to CRN’s 2022 Security 100 List

We’re excited to share that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Barracuda to its annual Security 100 list for the sixth 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 the acquisition of acquisition in July of SKOUT Cybersecurity, a provider of an extended detection and response (XDR) platform and service Managed Service Providers (MSPs), as well as the September launch of Barracuda's cloud-native SASE platform.

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