At Amazon, security remains a paramount concern. We are committed to investing significantly in security and compliance measures to ensure that our cloud computing environment not only meets but exceeds the rigorous standards expected by our diverse clientele. We believe that security is a shared responsibility; while AWS manages and controls everything from the host operating system to the physical security of our facilities, our customers are tasked with building secure applications.
Numerous AWS Partner Network (APN) partners have created innovative security solutions on the AWS platform, enhancing the value offered to AWS customers as they develop secure applications. Today, we want to spotlight Barracuda, an esteemed APN Technology Partner, which has made its security solutions accessible on the AWS platform.

Drivers to the AWS Cloud
The demands of Barracuda’s customer base, along with their commitment to simplicity, have been instrumental in fostering their relationship with AWS. “We seek to bring simplicity throughout the entire lifecycle for our customers—making it easy to purchase, install, deploy, manage, and use,” noted Sarah Johnson, VP of Partnerships at Barracuda. As they recognized that many customers were transitioning their infrastructure to the AWS Cloud, the need for collaboration with AWS became apparent. “Barracuda has a significant overlap of customers utilizing AWS. This collaboration has become increasingly vital for us, ensuring that we are present where our customers require us,” Johnson explained.
Another crucial factor for Barracuda in working with AWS was the AWS shared responsibility model for security. “A shared philosophy around security was pivotal in our decision to partner with AWS. Under this model, AWS provides a globally secure infrastructure along with compute, storage, networking, and database services, which complement the advanced security features we offer,” continued Johnson.

Barracuda provides a range of solutions via the AWS Marketplace and a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) option. Since November 2013, they have launched several solutions on AWS, including:
- Barracuda Web Application Firewall: This solution delivers robust security features to counteract threats at the application level, enabling customers to confidently migrate applications to the AWS Cloud.

- Barracuda SignNow: This tool expedites the document approval process, allowing legally binding signatures in seconds from any device, thus streamlining document workflows.
The Benefits of Working with AWS
Johnson emphasizes the efficiency of deploying on AWS, stating, “We swiftly transitioned from a single product to eight diverse offerings, and this number continues to grow.” Collaborating with AWS, particularly through the AWS Marketplace, has provided Barracuda with flexibility in deployment options, showcasing their dedication to providing customers with freedom and choice.
The Barracuda team also anticipates ongoing collaboration with APN Consulting Partners. “We deeply understand customer requirements and deployment scenarios within the AWS Cloud. We are enthusiastic about expanding the Barracuda Partner Program with firms that are developing their businesses around AWS Cloud services,” Johnson added.
Looking Forward
Barracuda intends to strengthen its relationship with AWS and broaden its presence on the AWS platform. “The internal AWS teams have been incredibly supportive throughout every stage—from concept to implementation and customer commitment delivery. This has prompted us to expand our product offerings on AWS and explore new solutions for the platform,” Johnson concluded.
