First stop on the tour is London on October 3 and four other UK locations are planned for Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Reading up to October 7. In total, Barracuda says that its road show will be visiting a total of 23 towns and cities in nine countries.
Announcing the road show, Russell Johnson, the firm's vice president of international business, said that the show will build on the success of a similar campaign in the US.
“Our senior executive team and researchers will be giving advice on how to protect critical data and share our latest research findings on the internet threat landscape, where we are increasingly seeing advanced and targeted attacks via Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter”, he said.
According to Barracuda, the half-day events are free of charge and aimed at managing directors, CIOs, IT administrators, IT managers, network managers and email administrators, as well as IT service providers.
The firm says that visitors from end user companies can obtain in-depth information about the latest security solutions and product developments in exclusive customer forums.
Special sessions have been also been organised to give the firm's sales partners an update on current threats, as well as information about cloud-based, virtual and hybrid use of Barracuda Networks solutions - and tips on how to make the most of the vendor's partner program
