Evo Security and Barracuda: Identity protection for MSPs

Strengthening MSP identity resilience with Evo Security and BarracudaONE

Key takeaways

• Identity has emerged as one of the most important security attack surfaces as threat actors increasingly rely on stolen credentials and account compromise.
• Evo Security expands BarracudaONE® with MSP-focused identity and access management capabilities, including privileged access management, access control, identity protection, and identity threat detection and response.
• An on-demand webinar explains the strategic rationale behind the acquisition and what it means for MSP partners going forward.

For years, Barracuda has balanced internal innovation with strategic acquisitions to help customers and partners stay ahead of emerging threats. That approach has expanded our cyber resilience platform across email, network, application, AI, and data protection while maintaining a focus on making security easier to manage and more effective.

Our acquisition of Evo Security is the latest example of that strategy in action. Watch this on-demand panel discussion for more details about the strategy behind the acquisition and what it means for MSPs.

Why is identity security a priority for MSPs?

The nature of cyberattacks has changed. Rather than trying to break through security defenses, attackers increasingly target identities through stolen credentials, phishing, account compromise, and privilege abuse. As AI makes social engineering attacks more convincing and easier to scale, identity has become one of the most critical security layers organizations must protect.

This shift is especially important for MSPs. Securing identities across multiple customer environments requires technology that can be deployed, managed, and monitored at scale. Many traditional identity solutions were designed for enterprise IT teams, not service providers responsible for dozens or hundreds of customer tenants.

How does Evo Security strengthen BarracudaONE?

Evo Security was built specifically for MSPs, with a multi-tenant architecture designed to simplify identity and access management across customer environments. By bringing Evo into the Barracuda family, we’re expanding the BarracudaONE platform with identity-focused capabilities that help MSPs strengthen protection while reducing operational complexity.

The acquisition adds capabilities that span privileged access management (PAM), access control, identity protection, and identity threat detection and response (ITDR). Together, these capabilities support a more comprehensive approach to identity resilience, which is an organization’s ability to protect identities, detect identity-based threats, and maintain secure access when credentials or accounts are targeted.

Just as important, this move reinforces Barracuda’s broader platform vision. Rather than assembling a collection of disconnected point products, we’re continuing to build an integrated cyber resilience platform that helps MSPs protect their customers through a unified security experience.
