Called <strong>Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security<\/strong>, the new offering is delivered through Barracuda\u2019s global Security Operations Center (SOC) and aims to provide continuous visibility into weaknesses across hardware, software, cloud, and hybrid environments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"110\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-113.jpeg\" alt=\"Barracuda Logo. (PRNewsFoto\/Barracuda Networks, Inc.)\" class=\"wp-image-22414\" title=\"Barracuda Logo. (PRNewsFoto\/Barracuda Networks, Inc.)\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, we reported that the company unveiled <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/ai\/barracudaone-launches-to-combat-tool-sprawl-and-elevate-cybersecurity-operations.html\">BarracudaOne<\/a> to combat tool sprawl and elevate the operations aspect of cybersecurity. At the time, Neal Bradbury, chief product officer said specifically, it consolidates Barracuda\u2019s existing security offerings into a centralized, AI-enhanced platform. Interestingly we also reported that earlier today, ManageEngine <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/msp\/manageengine-unifies-rmm-psa-and-security-in-new-msp-central-platform.html\">announced<\/a> MSP Central which consolidates RMM, PSA, server monitoring, endpoint security, and automation tools into a modular, cloud-native platform. With MSPs focusing on maximizing profitability and doing more with less, consolidation and centralized tool management has become more crucial than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners that often overwhelm teams with raw data, the Barracuda service delivers contextual reports and focused, prioritized remediation plans. Its integration with Barracuda\u2019s Managed XDR platform gives customers the option to unify vulnerability detection with 24\/7\/365 threat response, simplifying vendor management and accelerating incident remediation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proactive Risk Management Without Additional Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The service scans a wide range of infrastructure\u2014including endpoints, servers, IoT devices, firewalls, and other network assets\u2014and identifies vulnerabilities, even those without known exploits. Organizations receive detailed audit summaries and remediation guidance tailored to both security needs and compliance obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-112.jpeg\" alt=\"Profile photo of Adam Khan\" class=\"wp-image-22413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-112.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-112-90x90.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-112-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adam Khan, vice president of global security operations at Barracuda<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;By proactively identifying vulnerabilities, we can better predict the likelihood of an attack,\u201d said Adam Khan, vice president of global security operations at Barracuda. \u201cBarracuda Managed Vulnerability Security delivers deep visibility into risks across environments\u2014without the burden of managing additional tools or hiring hard-to-find security operations specialists.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This expert-driven approach is particularly valuable for mid-market and enterprise organizations struggling with fragmented security stacks and limited in-house resources. The service delivers actionable results and helps teams cut through complexity to focus on the most critical issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compliance-Driven, Audit-Ready Reporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Barracuda\u2019s new offering supports compliance efforts across multiple frameworks, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By running routine scans and generating audit-grade reports, the service positions organizations to meet continuous monitoring requirements and demonstrate progress in mitigating security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partner Feedback Validates Market Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Early partner feedback highlights the platform\u2019s operational value and strategic impact. MSPs like RIZQ and Vistasys AG report improved visibility, faster remediation, and better alignment with customer compliance goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t just another scanner\u2014it\u2019s a strategic, expert-driven solution that aligns with our risk and compliance programs,\u201d said Alberto Ramos-Izquierdo, CEO at RIZQ. \u201cBarracuda simplifies the process with a focused top 25 list that drives action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dominik Meier, CTO at Vistasys AG, echoed that sentiment: \u201cAll we need to do is register the appliances for scanning, and Barracuda\u2019s SOC team handles the rest. It strengthens our customers\u2019 security and saves internal resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br>Barracuda\u2019s Managed Vulnerability Security fills a critical gap for organizations seeking continuous, expert-led insight into their risk exposure\u2014without the need to scale internal teams or manage yet another tool. With integration into its broader Managed XDR platform, support for compliance mandates, and a focus on clear, actionable outcomes, Barracuda delivers a service tailored to the realities of modern cyber risk management. For MSPs and IT teams alike, it offers a practical way to transform vulnerability data into a proactive security advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me know if you\u2019d like a chart comparing this to other managed vulnerability assessment solutions or a one-pager for MSP enablement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MSP-Expo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"343\" height=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MSP-Expo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21759\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><mark><strong>Did someone say MSPs??<\/strong><\/mark>&nbsp;If you liked this post, you\u2019ll love&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mspexpo.com\/\">MSP Expo<\/a>, part of the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.itexpo.com\/\">ITEXPO #TECHSUPERSHOW<\/a>, Feb 10-12, 2026 Fort Lauderdale, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Aside from his role as CEO of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/\">TMC<\/a>&nbsp;and chairman of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.itexpo.com\/\">ITEXPO<\/a>&nbsp;#TECHSUPERSHOW Feb 10-12, 2026,&nbsp;Rich Tehrani is CEO of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt-advisors.com\/\">RT Advisors<\/a>&nbsp;and a Registered Representative (investment banker) with and offering securities through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.4pointscapital.com\/\">Four Points Capital Partners LLC&nbsp;<\/a>(Four Points) (Member FINRA\/SIPC).
