shashib · x · 2026-09-29

• Barracuda Networks launched Barracuda AI Data Security on Sept 22, billed as the first AI security/governance solution built for MSPs and resource-constrained orgs; GA in October, free within SecureEdge Premium Access.
• Blocks customer data, passwords, financial records and proprietary code from reaching chatbots; detects prompt injection and jailbreak attempts, covering 1,300+ generative AI tools.
• Market data cited: 38% of surveyed organizations lack skills to govern AI, rising to 47% at 1,500–2,000 employees.
• Positioning: while Zscaler and others sell prompt inspection + inline DLP to enterprises, Barracuda bets on the MSP channel with a multitenant console and bundled pricing.
