Barracuda has announced Barracuda Web Security Gateway version 11.0, which offers customers advanced security protection and improved SSL scanning performance, as well as the ability to enforce policy configuration on Chromebooks.
Barracuda Web Security Gateway is purpose built to enable organizations to benefit from online applications and tools, while preventing exposure to web-borne malware and viruses, and limiting lost user productivity and misused bandwidth. With version 11.0, Barracuda Web Security Gateway combines web security functionality with next-generation firewall capabilities allowing for more robust, complementary security protection managed from a single pane of glass.
Barracuda Web Security Gateway customers now have access to Barracuda Advanced Threat Detection, a cloud-based microservice that protects organizations against ransomware and other targeted attacks. Barracuda Chromebook Security Extension is now available, enabling web security policy enforcement needed in K-12 or other educational environments where Chromebooks are used in 1:1 initiatives.
And, Barracuda Web Security Gateway also can be deployed with Barracuda NextGen Firewalls, and now any existing third-party UTM or firewall, offering organizations the performance benefits of independently scaling fast packet inspection and full web proxy functions, each of which has a different latency profile.
