CAMPBELL, Calif., Sept. 13, 2022 — / BackupReview.info / — Barracuda Secured.22 Conference — Barracuda, a trusted partner and leading provider of cloud-first security solutions, today announced product milestones and strong business growth for its data protection business, which accelerated due to the increasing need for secure backup driven by ransomware and other cyberthreats.

“A massive cyber-attack had hit us overnight. Of all the infrastructure available to us in the IT team we had one working laptop: no servers, no domain controllers, nothing. It had all been corrupted by the PYSA ransomware gang,” explains Myerscough College Director of IT, Ian Brown, in a Barracuda case study. “Obviously the first reaction is one of total shock and disbelief,” he stated. According to the case study, “A year previously, Ian invested in Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup. Within days the college had recovered most of its key infrastructure to the point where it could begin to support staff and students once again without having to engage with the threat actors or paying any ransom.”
According to Vinny Phul, Head of IT for the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), in a Barracuda case study, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup more than met their needs. “It took only minutes to set up,” Vinny explained. “Having a true Office 365 backup gives us additional peace of mind against the ransomware threat. Cloud-to-Cloud Backup makes it very easy to find lost files for our day-today needs.”
“With a cloud-native solution, you get the benefit of scale on your backup, and your solution is fully managed. So unlike with traditional backup solutions, where you have to do capacity management and capacity planning and make sure you have enough storage, a cloud-native solution, like Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup really offers you a managed solution with virtually unlimited capacity to store your data.” – Nills Franssens, Senior Cloud Solution Architect, Microsoft
