Smarter, faster security using global threat intelligence

Barracuda Assistant manages the complexity of modern security measures, making it easier for customers and managed service providers (MSPs). Users can quickly navigate threats, troubleshoot issues, and access actionable information like deployment statistics and configuration recommendations—all in a single, intuitive interface.

The assistant accelerates threat response by reducing investigation time, reducing costly errors, and streamlining workflows. It eliminates disruptive context switching, allowing security teams to easily switch between vulnerability assessments, incident reviews, and more. And the efficiencies allow teams to focus on high-impact strategic priorities.

“The use of generative AI and digital assistants in cybersecurity is delivering measurable improvements across many SecOps functions, including threat investigation and response, threat hunting, threat intelligence operationalization, and more. These improvements lead to increased efficiency and effectiveness, while freeing up analysts to focus on more strategic security activities,” says Dave Gruber, chief analyst at About.

Barracuda Assistant is integrated with Barracudas industry-leading global threat intelligence network. By processing a continuous stream of real-time information, the assistant ensures that every recommendation, alert, and response reflects the latest threat patterns, attack vectors, and proven best practices. It also delivers timely, data-driven guidance so businesses can stay ahead of emerging threats, adapt to new tactics, and maintain a proactive security strategy in today’s increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.
