Barracuda Networks has launched Barracuda Research, a centralized hub delivering vital threat intelligence and real-world cybersecurity analysis for IT professionals and managed service providers. This new resource aims to provide actionable insights into emerging threats, helping organizations identify risks and implement effective protective measures. The platform integrates data from Barracuda AI, offering detailed breakdowns of malicious email campaigns and security incidents handled by their expert teams.
Organizations today operate under immense pressure to leverage cyberthreat intelligence for proactive defense, risk reduction, and regulatory compliance. A recent international study conducted by Barracuda with Vanson Bourne reveals that 31% of businesses with up to 2,000 employees are concerned about their capacity to handle these challenges. Nearly half, 47%, report that advanced evasion techniques used in modern cyberattacks make detection and neutralization significantly more difficult. The introduction of Barracuda Research aligns with Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2025, emphasizing practical security improvements for businesses and consumers alike.
Barracuda Research leverages detection metrics from Barracuda AI to shed light on the frequency and nature of malicious email threats. It also compiles summaries from Barracuda’s latest threat analysis reports, which document attack tactics observed in active campaigns. These resources include detailed examinations of threats identified by Barracuda’s Security Operations Centre, along with step-by-step reviews of real incidents managed through Barracuda Managed XDR. All insights stem from the analysis of trillions of IT events, AI-driven threat detection, and documented security mitigations.
Neal Bradbury, Chief Product Officer at Barracuda, emphasized the initiative’s purpose: “We created Barracuda Research to address the rising demand from customers and partners for clear, practical threat intelligence. With roughly one in three small to mid-market organizations worldwide struggling to source and apply threat intelligence effectively, and almost half citing the evasive nature of modern threats as a major hurdle, Barracuda Research offers a solution. It highlights our extensive threat analysis capabilities, which form the foundation of the AI-powered BarracudaONE platform and our managed XDR service.”
