Barracuda Managed XDR: Saving time, empowering users and fighting AI with AI

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, time is everything. Whether you're an MSP managing dozens of customer environments or an IT director defending a single organization, the ability to quickly understand, respond to and resolve threats is critical. That’s why Barracuda Managed XDR continues to evolve—not just to keep pace with attackers, but to stay ahead of them.

This week, we’re excited to announce two powerful enhancements to the Barracuda Managed XDR platform that do exactly that: AI-powered log search and analysis and AI dashboard summarization. Each of these features is designed to make the platform more user-friendly and more intuitive, while being a dramatic time-saver for our users.

AI-powered log search and analysis: Visibility without complexity

Security teams have asked Barracuda for deeper visibility into log data. With the new log search and analysis feature, Barracuda Managed XDR now allows users to search SIEM logs by account (especially useful to MSPs), data source and date range—without needing to be an SQL expert.

Whether you're investigating a suspicious login or fulfilling a compliance audit, this feature gives you:

• AI-powered natural language translation into SQL queries
• Granular access to logs by source and timeframe
• Exportable results for deeper analysis and reporting

This isn’t just about visibility—it’s about empowering users to answer their questions faster.

AI dashboard summarization: Intelligence at a glance

The Barracuda Managed XDR dashboard contains a wealth of actionable data, and finding what matters most—alerts that need attention, endpoints at risk, audit actions pending—just got easier.

Now, AI dashboard summarization brings the most critical insights to the forefront. Using Barracuda AI, the dashboard automatically:

• Prioritizes alerts and data sources
• Highlights endpoints needing attention
• Surfaces threat advisories and audit actions

This feature could save partners and customers hours of manual investigation each week, allowing them to focus on what matters most: protecting their environments.

AI: Our strategic advantage

These enhancements aren’t just features—they’re part of a broader AI strategy that powers Barracuda Managed XDR. From agentic AI threat analysis to AI sentiment analysis and more, we’re using AI to:

• Detect threats
• Detect threats faster!
• Drive down manual labor and operational costs
• Reduce alert fatigue
• Improve the user experience
• Automate repetitive tasks
• Save user time

While we won’t preview unreleased features here, rest assured: more AI-powered capabilities are on the roadmap. And the Barracuda Managed XDR team is going to keep rolling them out to you, our customers. After all, as malicious threat actors increasingly use AI to launch attacks, we believe it’s our responsibility to use AI to defend against them—and to make cybersecurity more accessible and effective for everyone.

Why these changes matter

These updates reflect a core philosophy: security should be powerful, but it shouldn’t be painful. By making Barracuda Managed XDR more user-friendly, more intuitive and a dramatic time-saver, we’re helping our customers and partners do more with less.

Whether you're already a Barracuda Managed XDR customer or an MSP exploring new partnerships, these enhancements are designed to make your life easier—and your defenses stronger.
