Summary
This solution brief outlines Barracuda AI Security, a capability delivered through the BarracudaONE platform designed to help organizations manage AI-related risks. The document explains how the increasing adoption of generative AI tools, often without IT oversight, introduces significant data privacy and compliance risks, a phenomenon referred to as Shadow AI. Barracuda AI Security aims to provide visibility into AI usage, assess the associated risks, and offer practical guidance for establishing governance around AI adoption. The solution integrates AI discovery, risk classification, and policy enforcement into a single platform, allowing organizations to identify AI tools in use, evaluate their risk levels, and receive actionable recommendations for governance. The brief also describes two operational models for implementing AI risk insight and control, either through existing third-party tools or via Barracuda SecureEdge for a more streamlined approach. Overall, Barracuda AI Security seeks to empower organizations to adopt AI securely while maintaining compliance and data protection.
