Secure branch-to-branch and branch-to-cloud connectivity with SD-WAN

Public cloud computing provides many benefits, but to leverage them, you need to ensure that branch offices have secure, reliable, low-latency access to applications and data hosted in the public cloud. Most wide area networks (WAN) today are still designed for a pre-cloud era, with all internet traffic backhauled to a central datacenter/breakout point where security policy is enforced. Barracuda CloudGen Firewall provides a unique amalgamation of next-generation security, fully integrated SD-WAN, and public-cloud readiness. This enables the most cost-effective, uninterrupted access to companies’ resources hosted in the public cloud.

Direct internet breakout at every location for predictable SaaS application performance

Backhauling internet traffic to a central breakout is no longer sustainable once you decide to leverage SaaS applications. These cloud-hosted applications increase overall traffic while requiring very low latency. To manage these demands, you need local internet breakouts at every location. Barracuda CloudGen Firewall provides scalable central management, local security enforcement, advanced uplink intelligence and QoS for every branch office. Application-aware security and prioritization ensure that business-critical SaaS applications are assigned the highest priority and the best suitable uplink.

Enterprise-wide security and application policy enforcement across WAN and cloud

Barracuda CloudGen Firewall provides multiple layers of protection—including cloud-based sandboxing—that stop both traditional and new, advanced threats without impacting network performance. The Firewall Control Center eliminates the need to manage individual locations or appliances by adding a virtual WAN edge with automatic security enforcement across the entire WAN edge, including cloud and virtual locations.
