27 February, 2023 - Synnex Australia has today announced that they will start offering Barracuda MSP ’s IT security solutions as-a-service to MSPs to accelerate their growth in the cyber security market.

Synnex’s channel partners will now have access to a portfolio of solutions in the cloud or on-premises, that would allow them to build comprehensive security services that include prevention, detection, and response across attack surfaces such as email, endpoint, network, via a purpose-built MSP platform.

Jason Howells, Vice President, MSP International Sales, said “The channel plays a key role in helping Barracuda to support managed service providers. Synnex Australia is already doing a fantastic job for Barracuda Networks’ product portfolio, and we are delighted to extend that relationship to include Barracuda MSP products.”

Cybersecurity presents a large area for growth, given that security is high in the minds of organisations following the high-profile data breaches in Australia last year.

According to Edmond Ng, Business Manager, Synnex Australia, “Adding cybersecurity as-a-service will not only allow MSPs to offer their customers advanced protection against data loss and IT security breaches, but also build out new strategic revenue streams for their business.”
Ng added, “Amid the increase in the need for security, MSPs must capitalise on the changing environment, expand into other areas by transitioning to a fully-fledged managed security service provider (MSSP).”

Service providers who make the most of this strategic shift towards managed security services will be in a unique position to thrive in this growing market.

Howells highlighted “Our focus is on enabling managed service providers to create value-based offerings for their clients around our cybersecurity and data protection products. Given the long relationship between Barracuda Networks and Synnex Australia, we are excited to work with Synnex to expand our solution coverage.”
