Barracuda Networks, the cyber resilience platform company has announced it has acquired Evo Security, an identity and access management (IAM) provider purpose-built for managed service providers (MSPs). The acquisition expands the BarracudaONE platform’s identity security capabilities, creating the industry’s most comprehensive partner-first platform unifying privileged access management (PAM), access control, identity protection and identity threat detection and response.

By combining Evo Security’s identity solutions with Barracuda’s existing identity-driven controls, BarracudaONE delivers a unified, end-to-end identity security architecture through a single platform, precisely as global IAM investment surges with double-digit year-over-year growth. This integrated approach gives partners one multi-tenant environment to deliver complete identity resilience, while customers gain modern protection without the operational burden of stitching together multiple tools. 

Rohit Ghai, CEO, Barracuda said, “In the agentic AI era, protecting both human and non-human identities is imperative for delivering cyber resilience. Existing enterprise identity solutions are complex, costly and fail to meet the needs of MSPs that must scale to securely manage millions of identities across thousands of customer environments. We are thrilled to combine Evo Security’s partner-first innovation with our vision of BarracudaONE and offer a complete, intelligent, easy and open platform that closes this gap.  As AI accelerates the speed and scale of identity-centric attacks, this combination is uniquely positioned to help organizations big and small stay ahead of these threats.”

Michael Roth, Security Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Evo said, “We built Evo Security to solve the identity challenges MSPs face every day. Joining Barracuda gives us the scale, reach and resources to accelerate that mission globally. Our identity-first approach was designed from day one for MSP operations, and now, together with BarracudaONE, we can bring modern identity security, privileged access management and automation to far more partners and the customers they protect.”
