Barracuda Expands Security Portfolio with Managed Vulnerability Service for MSPs

Barracuda has launched a new service aimed at helping organizations, and the MSPs that support them, go beyond routine vulnerability scans. Barracuda Managed Vulnerability Security is a fully managed offering delivered through the company’s global Security Operations Center (SOC). It scans for risks across endpoints, networks, and cloud infrastructure, and goes further by delivering expert-reviewed reports, remediation guidance, and compliance-ready documentation.

The service is now available exclusively through Barracuda’s global network of channel partners and is positioned to help partners expand their security offerings without adding operational complexity.

Full-Scope Delivery from Barracuda’s SOC

Rather than relying on customers or MSPs to operate vulnerability tools, Barracuda manages the entire process end to end.

“Barracuda differentiates our Managed Vulnerability Security service by owning the full scan lifecycle through our global SOC, supplying expert-validated reports with a focused remediation list, covering a wide range of assets, and delivering compliance-ready outputs that turn vulnerability management into a strategic benefit,” Adam Khan, VP of Global Security Operations at Barracuda told MSSP team.

The SOC handles deployment, configuration, scan execution, report validation, and delivery - removing the need for partners to dedicate staff to manage yet another platform.

Actionable Remediation, Not Just Long Report

Each vulnerability scan delivers a contextualized “top 25” remediation list alongside a summary that supports both technical and executive-level decisions.

“Partners receive an audit summary and a ‘top 25’ remediation list that accelerates fixes and avoids report overload to take actions on what matters most,” Khan added.

This helps partners quickly move from risk identification to resolution, improving time-to-value while avoiding the reporting bloat common in traditional scanning tools.

Built-In Compliance Mapping for Regulatory Readiness

With mandates like NIS2 and DORA on the horizon, compliance is no longer optional. Barracuda’s service is tailored to support ongoing regulatory alignment by design.

“Regular scans and expert-validated reports support ongoing risk assessment, mitigation and audit readiness demanded by DORA, NIS2, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS and other frameworks,” said Khan.

The platform includes pre-built mappings to regulatory controls and produces audit-ready deliverables such as remediation plans and executive summaries. Partners can also bundle these reports with Barracuda Managed XDR for continuous monitoring and response, offering customers a more complete solution that addresses Articles 8 and 21 of DORA and NIS2, respectively.

Partner-Ready Model with Margin-Friendly Packaging

The service is available exclusively to channel partners and includes enablement materials, training, and deal registration through the Barracuda Partner Program.

“The service is sold exclusively through Barracuda resellers and MSPs, letting partners add a new revenue stream without staffing new analysts,” said Khan. “Because Barracuda owns deployment, scanning, and report delivery, MSPs can add vulnerability management to existing bundles without hiring additional analysts, preserving margin through services-led value rather than license mark-up.”

Partners can offer the service on its own or bundle it with existing Barracuda subscriptions, including Managed XDR, to simplify procurement and increase deal size.

Barracuda’s Managed Vulnerability Security enters a crowded field but aims to stand out by doing the heavy lifting for partners, delivering not just alerts, but clear actions and compliance support. For MSPs and resellers, it represents an opportunity to expand security offerings without scaling internal teams. For customers, it means fewer gaps, better guidance, and a stronger handle on regulatory obligations.
