Barracuda to Acquire Fyde for Zero-Trust Capabilities

Barracuda Networks has announced plans to acquire Fyde, a provider of zero-trust network access.

With the purchase, Barracuda will add zero-trust network access to its Barracuda CloudGen SASE (secure access service edge) platform, according to a statement. Fyde's zero-trust solution is now available immediately as Barracuda CloudGen Access.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
