Case Study: Spencer Academies Trust strengthens cyber resilience and simplifies recovery with Barracuda Networks

Spencer Academies Trust simplifies backup for 22,000 users with Barracuda

Spencer Academies Trust, a large UK-based group of schools, faced increased cyber risk following their migration to Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID. Their lean IT team needed a way to protect cloud data, reduce identity-based risk, and simplify compliance without adding complexity. They turned to Barracuda Networks for a solution, selecting Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup and Barracuda Entra ID Backup Premium.

The Barracuda solution provided simple, comprehensive backup and recovery that dramatically reduced operational risk and recovery time. The intuitive tools were easy to deploy and manage, saving the small IT team significant time each week. This allowed them to reinvest effort into frontline support and strategic initiatives. The implementation by Barracuda Networks strengthened the Trust's cyber resilience and supported their zero-trust security approach with confidence.
