Case Study: Stagevision achieves secure, reliable event connectivity and rapid deployment with Barracuda Networks' CloudGen Firewall and Firewall Control Center

Tech-forward events leader overcomes Covid challenges

Stagevision, Canada’s largest Canadian-owned audiovisual and events management company, rapidly shifted from in-person to virtual events during the 2020 lockdown and found its ad-hoc network setup exposed clients to security risks and unreliable connectivity. As live events returned, the company needed stronger security, better redundancy and easier deployment to protect high‑profile corporate content and prevent service interruptions.

Stagevision deployed Barracuda CloudGen Firewall (initial F400 HA cluster, later portable F80/F180 units) and Barracuda Firewall Control Center, using zero‑touch deployment and remote management to simplify setup on the road. The solution delivered enterprise-grade security, vastly improved network visibility and reliability, and plug‑and‑play capabilities that streamlined event builds—backed by training and responsive support—allowing Stagevision to run secure, uninterrupted hybrid and live events.
