New Barracuda assistant transforms security operations, ETCISO
Barracuda Networks, Inc., a cybersecurity company, is making Barracuda Assistant, powered by Barracuda AI, available as part of the BarracudaONE cybersecurity platform. Integrated into the platform, Barracuda Assistant is intended to support security operations by helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience and improve productivity and return on investment.
“Cyberattacks are growing more sophisticated and relentless, and security teams are under immense pressure to respond faster with fewer resources,” said Brian Downey, vice president of product management at Barracuda. “Barracuda Assistant enables users of all skill levels to investigate threats more quickly and confidently, even in the face of complex attacks. We’re helping organizations close critical skills gaps, reduce human error and simplify security workflows that have traditionally been time-consuming and fragmented. This innovation gives businesses the tools they need to strengthen resilience, accelerate response and stay ahead of an ever-evolving threat landscape.”
Capabilities and operation
Barracuda Assistant is designed to simplify aspects of modern security operations for customers and managed service providers (MSPs). It enables users to navigate threats, troubleshoot issues and access actionable insights—such as deployment metrics and configuration recommendations—from a single interface.
The assistant aims to accelerate threat response by reducing investigation time, cutting errors and streamlining workflows. It is intended to reduce context switching, allowing teams to move between vulnerability assessments, incident reviews and other tasks more efficiently, so they can focus on higher-impact priorities.
“The use of generative AI and digital assistants in security operations is delivering measurable improvements across many SecOps functions, including threat investigation and response, threat hunting, operationalizing threat intelligence, and more,” said Dave Gruber, principal analyst for Omdia. “These improvements are translating into increases in both efficacy and efficiency, while freeing up analyst time to focus on more strategic security activities.”
Threat intelligence integration
Integrated with Barracuda’s global threat intelligence network, Barracuda Assistant uses a continuous stream of real-time insights so recommendations, alerts and responses reflect current threat patterns, attack vectors and established best practices. By providing timely, data-driven guidance, Barracuda Assistant is intended to help organizations adapt to emerging threats and maintain a proactive security posture.
