Network Security & Firewalls

Protect cloud-connected users, network workloads, and devices wherever they reside.

As you integrate public-cloud platforms and environments into your network, your firewalls must go beyond perimeter security and serve as the linchpins of your IT communications flow, ensuring reliable, cost-effective connections. Barracuda CloudGen Firewall was designed to optimize the performance, security, and availability of today's dispersed enterprise SD-WANs.

Barracuda CloudGen Firewall combines a complete security stack, powerful SDWAN capabilities, and simple centralized management for hundreds or thousands of firewalls. Zero-touch hardware deployment and native cloud integration get you up and running quickly and easily in any environment.

Enterprise networks grow larger and more complex every day-and more critical to key business operations. The Barracuda NG Firewall is an essential tool to optimize the performance, security, and availability of today's dispersed enterprise WANs.
