Barracuda received the following 2026 CRN ARC Awards:

Among the IT channel’s most respected honors, the CRN ARC Awards recognize technology vendors that excel in supporting and empowering their partner communities. Winners are selected based on direct feedback from solution providers, who evaluate vendors on product innovation, support, partnership programs, managed services capabilities, and overall commitment to partner success.

This achievement underscores Barracuda’s ongoing commitment to helping partners grow more profitably. Through the BarracudaONE® cybersecurity platform — including Barracuda Email Protection, Barracuda Managed XDR and other innovative solutions — and its partner-first approach, Barracuda enables partners to deepen their expertise, generate more qualified pipeline, increase recurring revenue, and scale their businesses with less complexity. By simplifying cybersecurity operations and providing expert-backed threat detection and response, Barracuda helps partners deliver stronger customer outcomes while building sustainable, long-term growth.

“Being recognized by our partners with four CRN ARC Award wins is incredibly meaningful because it reflects the voices of the people we work alongside every day,” said Michelle Hodges, Senior Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances, Barracuda. “At Barracuda, our partner-first, partner-only approach starts with listening to what partners need to grow and succeed in a rapidly changing market. This recognition reflects the strength of our partner community and our shared focus on making it easier to deliver value, business growth and strong customer outcomes. We’re grateful for our partners’ trust and honored to be recognized alongside them.”

Based on thousands of solution provider evaluations collected across North America, the CRN ARC Awards recognize the technology vendors that deliver exceptional value to their channel partners. Honoring excellence across 23 technology categories, the awards highlight leadership in product innovation, support, partnership, and managed and cloud services.
