Barracuda Launches AI Security and Governance Solution

Barracuda Networks, a Campbell, California-based security vendor, has launched “Barracuda AI Data Security,” an AI security and governance solution purpose-built for resource-constrained organizations and MSPs. The offering is designed to enable businesses to accelerate AI adoption by protecting sensitive data, enforcing responsible AI use and demonstrating compliance. The solution integrates AI visibility, data protection, threat defense, and governance.

New findings from Barracuda Research reveal that nearly half of senior IT leaders say their teams lack the skills required to securely govern AI already in use across their businesses.

“Organizations need a practical way to secure AI as a new attack surface, protect sensitive data, enforce responsible use, and demonstrate compliance,” said Neal Bradbury, Chief Product Officer at Barracuda. At the same time, they need the confidence to embrace and accelerate AI adoption as a driver of productivity and innovation.”

Capabilities include automatic blockage of sensitive information such as customer data, passwords, financial records, and proprietary code from reaching GenAI services; blockage of prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, hate speech, and policy violations; a compliance-ready audit trail; and support for flexible AI policies.

MSPs also gain centralized multitenant management and bundled pricing.

Barracuda AI Data Security is scheduled to become available this month. It will also be included in Barracuda SecureEdge Premium Access at no additional cost.
