Barracuda Firewall - Overview
The Barracuda Firewall is an application-aware network firewall appliance that is designed for organizations without dedicated IT personnel to
manage firewalls. It leverages cloud resources to extend next-generation security and networking beyond the capabilities of typical security
gateways or legacy firewalls. The Barracuda Firewall delivers application control, user awareness, secure VPNs, link optimization, dynamic traffic
prioritization, and advanced malware protection. It combines application-control and network-security features with cloud technologies to provide
up-to-date and dynamically scalable malware protection and content filtering. With the Barracuda Cloud Control centralized management portal,
you can use a web browser or app to deploy, configure, and manage the Barracuda Firewall from any location.

ID, and time.
Barracuda Web Security Service – Leverages cloud resources by offloading processor-intensive content filtering and malware protection
to the cloud.
VPN – Enables secure remote access for users and provides business continuity by securing site-to-site connectivity.
Barracuda Cloud Control – Lets you manage and configure multiple Barracuda Firewalls from a single management portal.
WAN Interfaces – Eliminate the need for costly high-capacity backup links by aggregating disparate links such as MPLS, T1, DSL, cable,
and 3G.
Bandwidth Policies (QoS) – Balance and shape traffic among links, according to policies based on applications, traffic loads, and link
status.
