Barracuda Networks, Inc., a renowned provider of cloud-first security solutions, is gearing up for its participation at GITEX Global 2023. The event will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, and Barracuda will be stationed at stand C50 in Hall 24. The primary focus of their presence at GITEX is to demonstrate to regional businesses how they can safeguard their cloud applications and facilitate seamless user access, regardless of their location or device. Barracuda will unveil the latest advancements in its Cloud Application Protection and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions.
According to IDC forecasts, digital transformation spending in the Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa (META) is projected to exceed $48.8 billion this year. Toni El Inati, RVP Sales for META & CEE at Barracuda Networks, stated, “To meet the evolving digital demands of employees and customers, organizations are increasingly turning to cloud technology. The rapid deployment, scalability, and cost efficiency of cloud applications have made them a pivotal element in the ongoing transformation in the region. At Barracuda, we are committed to empowering our customers to innovate confidently within this modern computing landscape while ensuring the security of their applications and data. This is precisely what we aim to highlight at our GITEX stand.”
Barracuda has been a regular participant at GITEX for more than a decade. Similar to past editions, the company will conduct live solution demonstrations at its stand, featuring the following this year:
1. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE): Barracuda’s cloud-centric SASE platform enables businesses to exercise control over data access from any device, anywhere, at any time. It also provides security inspection and policy enforcement in the cloud, at branch locations, or on individual devices. Barracuda SecureEdge offers enterprise-grade security features, including Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Firewall-as-a-Service, web security, and seamlessly integrated office connectivity with Secure SD-WAN.
2. Cloud to Cloud Backup: This platform offers swift search and data restoration capabilities for Office 365 data, encompassing Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive. The solution ensures comprehensive, granular data protection with point-in-time retrieval, scheduled and on-demand backups. Additionally, data is deduplicated and compressed to optimize storage efficiency and reduce backup time.
3. Web Application Firewall-as-a-Service: Deployable within minutes, Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service is a feature-rich, cloud-delivered application security service that guarantees comprehensive protection for all applications. This service includes a containerized deployment mode, allowing organizations to extend the same level of protection to their microservices, safeguarding them from intra-app attacks.
Apart from engaging with customers at the stand, Barracuda aims to strengthen its partnerships with existing channel partners and explore potential collaborations with new ones to support its ongoing expansion throughout the region. Toni El Inati added, “At Barracuda, we place great value on face-to-face interactions and will have our regional team on hand. We encourage channel organizations to visit our stand and discover how, through our extensive product portfolio and dedicated local support, we can empower them to build a profitable and sustainable practice with Barracuda. I have no doubt that the power and simplicity of our solutions will enable them to achieve this goal swiftly and cost-effectively.”
