QuoStar Named Managed XDR Partner of the Year at Barracuda’s Prestigious 2025 Awards

Top UK managed service provider wins award for cybersecurity excellence and client protection

We’re excited to announce that QuoStar has been named Managed XDR Partner of the Year at the Barracuda Networks partner awards. This award recognises our team’s dedication to delivering top-notch cybersecurity solutions and protecting our clients from ever more sophisticated cyber threats.

What This Means for Our Clients
Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is the future of cybersecurity. Unlike traditional security solutions that work in silos, XDR creates a single defence system that monitors, detects and responds to threats across your entire digital estate – from emails and endpoints to networks and cloud apps.
Our Managed XDR service is your dedicated cybersecurity hub, providing:

• 24/7 threat monitoring by certified security experts
• Threat hunting with AI-powered detection
• Rapid incident response to neutralise threats before they do damage
• Threat intelligence to stay ahead of emerging risks

Awarded for Partnership Excellence

“We’re chuffed to bits to have been named Barracuda’s Managed XDR Partner of the Year,” said Neil Clegg, Managing Director at QuoStar. “We’ve had a great partnership with Barracuda for years and this award is a testament to the whole team’s hard work and dedication.”
This didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of years of building our managed cybersecurity services expertise, investing in our team’s technical skills and keeping our focus on client outcomes. Every late-night security alert, every proactive threat hunt and every client conversation has contributed to this.

Why Managed XDR Matters More Than Ever

Today’s cyber criminals don’t work 9 to 5 and they don’t just use one vector of attack. Modern threats are:

• More advanced: AI powered social engineering and polymorphic malware
• Multi-vector: Email, network and application-based attacks
• Faster moving: Real time detection and response required
• More targeted: Custom attacks for specific industries and companies

Traditional antivirus and basic firewalls can’t keep up. That’s where our Managed XDR service turns your cybersecurity from reactive to proactive, from hoping for the best to knowing you’re protected.

Our Commitment to Cybersecurity

This Barracuda award proves what our clients have seen for themselves – QuoStar’s commitment to cybersecurity goes beyond technology deployment. We become an extension of your team, understanding your risk profile, business objectives and operational requirements.

We offer:

• Technical Expertise: Certified security professionals with in-depth knowledge of threat landscapes
• Proactive Monitoring: Ongoing monitoring and threat hunting across all attack vectors
• Rapid Response: Immediate containment and remediation when threats are found
• Strategic Guidance: Regular security reviews and recommendations for better protection

Looking Ahead: UK Cybersecurity

As threats evolve, so do we. This award cements our position as a trusted cybersecurity partner and gives us the motivation to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with security.
We’re really excited about the growing recognition of managed cybersecurity services. Too many organisations still think they can do cybersecurity in-house, but the reality is that modern threats require dedicated expertise, advanced technology and 24/7 monitoring that most businesses can’t afford to do themselves.
