Following the success of Barracuda’s Boston Secured event earlier this summer, we are thrilled to announce our next stop: Chicago Secured, taking place on September 8, 2025, at the Swissotel Chicago.
Join this free, one-day event designed for IT security professionals, where industry leaders come together to collaborate, share insights, and network. Attendees will gain hands-on exposure to Barracuda’s latest innovations — solutions designed to address today’s most pressing security challenges.
If you’re considering attending, here are five compelling reasons to join us, inspired by the energy and value delivered at Boston Secured.
1. Engage with industry leaders
At Chicago Secured, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from key voices, including Chief Product Officer Neal Bradbury and nearly a dozen solution architects. They will share valuable insights on Barracuda’s vision and product roadmaps. This access to Barracuda’s technical experts and executive team members will allow you to hear firsthand about new features and future innovations.
2. Discover cutting-edge solutions
Chicago Secured will showcase Barracuda’s newest innovations through interactive, hands-on sessions focused on key areas like email and network security. You’ll learn about BarracudaONE — our new AI-powered cybersecurity platform designed to strengthen your organization’s security posture. Plus, get a look at the new Barracuda Entra ID Backup Premium and its use cases.
3. Participate in hands-on learning
One of the highlights of Chicago Secured is the interactive hackathon session, where participants will engage directly with Barracuda’s solutions to simulate real-world attacks. In this technical, hands-on learning session, you can launch an account-takeover attack and see how quickly Barracuda Managed XDR shuts it down. This practical experience is invaluable for understanding how to protect your organization effectively.
4. Network with peers
The collaborative atmosphere at Chicago Secured will allow you to connect and share insights with fellow IT security professionals. It will be a great opportunity to connect with your peers and exchange ideas and best practices.
