Skout Business Focus, Earlier Investors
In a prepared statement about the Skout deal, Brian Babineau, senior VP and GM, Barracuda MSP, said:“MSPs must be able to protect their customers’ end users, their devices, and the data they are accessing with these devices against increasingly sophisticated threats. To achieve this level of protection of their customers, and themselves, MSPs are transforming their businesses into "security centric" operations. The addition of SKOUT enables Barracuda’s MSP partners to deploy security solutions across their environments, connecting their data feeds into a unified, 24x7 operation for swift analysis and response."
