Collaboration reinforces Barracuda’s strategy for working with AWS to make solutions available to customers in new ways 

CAMPBELL, Calif., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Barracuda Networks, Inc., a trusted partner and leading provider of cloud-first security solutions, has signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The SCA will help provide new flexibility and simplicity for Barracuda’s customers in licensing, procurement, and deployment. It includes significant investments in marketing development funds, proof of concept funding, and Independent Software Vendor (ISV) workload migration funding. The SCA also enables Barracuda to leverage its partner-only focus and the wide range of Barracuda security solutions available in AWS Marketplace to help resellers and managed service providers (MSPs) accelerate their customers’ migration to the cloud.

The SCA strengthens Barracuda’s deep, existing relationship with AWS. Barracuda’s application security, network security, email security, and data protection solutions are already available within AWS Marketplace. AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from ISVs that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on AWS.

“Creating new incentives for customers to choose Barracuda offerings in AWS Marketplace aligns with our strategy of simplifying the process of accessing and deploying cloud-based security solutions,” said Nicole Napiltonia, VP of Global Alliances at Barracuda. “We are empowering customers to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives by protecting their data and applications so they can leverage the scalability and flexibility of the cloud.”

“We are excited to collaborate with Barracuda Networks to help organizations streamline their migration to the cloud while strengthening their security posture,” said Alan Braun, Director, Technology Partnerships, Americas at AWS. “This agreement underscores our shared commitment to providing customers with scalable solutions that are easy to deploy and manage so they can innovate faster and operate more securely in the cloud.”

Barracuda is a long-standing AWS Partner with multiple AWS validated qualifications, including AWS Public Sector Partner, AWS Marketplace Seller, and AWS GovCloud (US) Delivery Partner.

Barracuda was among the first ISVs to achieve the AWS Security Competency status for Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). This involved completing the AWS Foundational Technical Review (AWS FTR) to identify and remediate risks in software or solutions. Barracuda was also one of the ISVs to announce support for Amazon Security Lake when it launched.

“We deployed Barracuda CloudGen Firewall within AWS Marketplace which has greatly simplified the procurement process and improved our network security at the same time,” said John Pesavento, VP of Technology, The Orvis Company, Inc. “Collaborations like Barracuda and AWS are critically important to us as we continue to migrate our solutions to the cloud.”

This SCA underscores the value of Barracuda and AWS to provide flexibility and unlock greater business value for customers across industries. For more information, please visit: https://www.barracuda.com/solutions/aws.

LogicGate Named Winner of the ISACA Innovative Solutions Award for the Organization’s AI Governance Solution

Published

By

The industry-recognized solution helps enterprises better govern and manage the implementation and usage of AI technology throughout the entirety of their organizations.

CHICAGO, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LogicGate, the modern, enterprise-grade provider of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced its AI Governance Solution was recognized for the prestigious ISACA Innovative Solutions Award. The industry accolade honors LogicGate for its groundbreaking AI Governance Solution, designed to empower safe innovation, accelerate business growth, and enable organizations to navigate the complexities of artificial intelligence responsibly. 

The ISACA Innovative Solutions Award acknowledges individuals or organizations that have developed or utilized technology to solve significant business or societal challenges. Judging criteria include the innovative use or development of new technology, promotion of ISACA’s core domains, impact and global reach of the solution, and the quality of the nomination.

“LogicGate’s AI Governance Solution is not just another tool in the GRC space—it is essential to reshaping how organizations approach AI governance,” said Matt Kunkel, Co-Founder and CEO at LogicGate. “With the rapid evolution and widespread adoption of AI, particularly generative AI, every industry is confronted with the challenge of governing the use of this technology and its various applications. Our approach was to create a prescriptive yet flexible AI governance framework that enterprises could easily adopt and tailor to their unique AI guidelines and requirements.” 

As AI technologies become increasingly integral to business operations, the necessity for robust AI governance has become paramount. Recent research by OCEG on the “Use of AI for GRC” found that while 82% of respondents agree or strongly agree they must adopt generative AI, only 12% reported having a documented AI Governance plan in place. This highlights a critical gap that LogicGate’s AI Governance Solution aims to address. 

LogicGate’s AI Governance Solution provides a comprehensive set of workflows to ensure AI initiatives are transparent, accountable, and aligned with regulatory standards. The solution includes centralized use case management, cyber risk assessments, policy management, controls compliance, and third-party AI risk oversight, all within an easy-to-use platform. This holistic approach bridges the growing gap between GRC and AI, enabling organizations to confidently harness the power of AI while safeguarding against unintended consequences. 

“A key differentiator of LogicGate’s AI Governance Solution is its integration with the full spectrum of governance, risk, compliance, and cybersecurity programs,” said Jon Siegler, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at LogicGate. “This integration ensures that AI governance processes are seamlessly incorporated into cyber risk management, third-party risk management, policy management, and controls management.”

Specifically, LogicGate’s AI Governance Solution enables organizations to:

Leverage out-of-the-box workflows for submitting, reviewing, and approving AI initiatives and models.Identify AI risks and automate assessment, quantification, and mitigation activities.Reinforce AI risk tolerance and standardize AI policies with automated approvals and attestations.Leverage best practices and control recommendations from the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.Identify embedded AI technologies and risks in third-party services.

LogicGate, along with other award recipients of the 2025 Global Achievement Awards, Chapter Awards, Certification Exam Top Scores, and the 2025 class of the Hall of Fame were recognized at the ISACA Awards Celebration in Orlando, Florida, during ISACA’s 2025 North America Conference.
