Barracuda recognized as a Microsoft Security 20/20 Partner Awards finalist

We’re excited to share that Barracuda has been named a finalist in three categories of the Microsoft Security 20/20 awards: Most Transformative Integration Partner, Microsoft Security Customer Impact, and Security ISV of the Year. The company was honored among a global field of industry leaders for demonstrating excellence in innovation, integration, and customer implementation with Microsoft technology.

“We’re honored to be recognized by Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) as a finalist in these three categories,” said Nicole Napiltonia, vice president of Global Alliances at Barracuda. “Our strategy to create integrated and connected cybersecurity solutions on Azure—from the first secure SD-WAN service built natively on Azure to cloud-native backup for Office 365—is making a difference for our customers and solution providers. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the Microsoft engineering and services teams to find innovative ways to increase customer protection.”

At the second annual Microsoft Security 20/20 awards to be held May 12, 2021, we will celebrate finalists in 18 categories spanning security, compliance, and identity. Barracuda has been nominated as a finalist in three of these categories:

• Most Transformative Integration Partner


• Microsoft Security Customer Impact


• Security ISV of the Year

“The pandemic has forever changed our perspective on the world, the role of technology, and how we work, learn, and live,” said Rani Lofstrom, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Global Security Partnerships. “In recognition of our new reality, the theme for the Microsoft Security 20/20 Awards this year is ‘Perspective—Through the Looking Glass.’ The awards ceremony this year will honor our security partners who have gone above and beyond during an unprecedented time of change to support, secure, and protect remote workers everywhere.”

The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) was established to help further the security ecosystem, fostering an environment where solution providers can collaborate to create a future that’s safer for people and organizations alike. This year, the industry veterans in MISA will vote to select the winners of the Microsoft Security 20/20 awards, providing an opportunity for colleagues to honor their peers for delivering exceptional work to our shared customers.
