Get in touch today

Built for how modern teams keep network security current.

Everything your business needs to keep Barracuda Network Protection appliances current, delivered in one mandatory subscription covering real-time threat definitions, firmware updates, security patches, 24x7 technical support, and Barracuda Central global intelligence.

Real-Time Threat Intelligence Updates

Barracuda Central continuously monitors global internet threat trends from 200,000+ sensor collection points worldwide, developing mitigation strategies and pushing updates every hour (or more often during active threat events) to your appliance. Updates cover viruses, spyware, content categories, spyware filters, IPS signatures, IM protocols, attack patterns, policy updates, and document format definitions. Real-time intelligence keeps every appliance current automatically.

Firmware Maintenance & Feature Updates

Energize Updates includes every firmware release shipped for your appliance platform, covering major version upgrades, feature enhancements, bug fixes, and stability improvements across the full product lifecycle. New capabilities, UI improvements, and performance optimizations are delivered automatically at no extra license cost. Optional participation in the Barracuda Early Release Firmware program lets customers test upcoming features early before general release.

Security Patches & Vulnerability Response

Security updates patch or repair any security vulnerabilities discovered in Barracuda appliance software, firmware, or underlying platform components. Patches are developed by Barracuda engineering in response to coordinated vulnerability disclosures, CVEs, and internal research, and delivered automatically to every subscribed appliance. Without an active Energize subscription, your appliance stops receiving these critical patches, leaving known vulnerabilities unaddressed.

24x7 Technical Support Access

Every Energize Updates subscription includes Barracuda’s basic technical support tier: 24×7 email support worldwide plus phone support during business hours across the US, Japan, China, Austria, and UK time zones. Barracuda engineers handle appliance configuration questions, deployment troubleshooting, firmware issues, integration help, and emergency response. Without an active subscription, support access is cut off, leaving your team without Barracuda engineering expertise.

Continuous Subscription & Renewal

By enforcing a policy of continuous subscriptions, Barracuda stands behind appliance quality and performance knowing every unit has received every security patch and firmware update released throughout its lifecycle. Subscriptions are available in 1, 3, and 5-year terms, covering up to 5 years of supported lifespan per hardware platform. Any unused subscription term transfers automatically to new hardware through Barracuda’s Hardware Refresh Program, with zero service gaps.
