Case Study: Palacký University Olomouc strengthens cyber resilience and supports NIS2 compliance with Barracuda Backup and CloudGen Firewall

Palacký University Olomouc restores data 10 times in a year with Barracuda

Palacký University Olomouc, one of the Czech Republic's oldest universities, needed to strengthen its cyber resilience and meet NIS2 compliance requirements. Its challenge was to create a more comprehensive backup and recovery strategy to protect its on-premises data, including local user data, databases, and virtual server images, against threats like ransomware. The university turned to vendor Barracuda Networks, having already used its Cloud-to-Cloud Backup service for Microsoft 365 data.

Barracuda Networks implemented its Backup V90 appliance to safeguard on-premises data, which complemented the existing cloud backup solution. This provided centralized management, reliable recovery, and off-site replication. The solution enabled successful data restorations and helped support the university's NIS2 compliance journey regarding backup, recovery, and access security. Barracuda's solution strengthened the university's resilience without creating a heavy administrative burden.
