Barracuda NG Firewall
SOLUTION ADVANTAGE 1
SOLUTION ADVANTAGE 1
Uncompromised Protection and Availability for
Corporate Network Boundaries and Segmentations
The more important global communications are for a company, the more important it is
to protect corporate network boundaries. After all, the perimeter is still the most important
front line of defense against hackers and malicious code. The performance of security
solutions at the Internet and VPN gateway levels will determine whether or not external
attacks can penetrate your network or can be blocked at the outset.
As the most successful attacks mounted today are within the network, a single remote
access link with an unsecured external PC or laptop is often sufficient to allow hackers and malicious codes to open a back
door into the company. There are also hazards that arise as a result of intentional or unintentional misconduct by some
employees. This threat cannot be mastered with perimeter protection alone, because attackers are already behind the
network limits.
OUR SOLUTION FOR YOUR NETWORK SECURITY NEEDS
Crucial business processes run smoothly thanks to multi-gigabit firewall performance and integrated bandwidth
management. By combining a stateful inspection firewall with intrusion prevention, denial-of-service protection, intelligent
application-selective bandwidth, and multipath management plus VPN technology, guarantee constant availability and
protection.
Protection is no longer limited to the perimeter and branches, but extends to
all sensitive network areas. Flexible deployment and support for virtualized
environments is crucial for successful realization of clean bit structures in your
LAN.
