Detect and prevent network intrusions.
Unsecured remote desktop protocol (RDP) and virtual private network (VPN) connections are among the most common points of system intrusion. Threat actors deploy malicious bots to find and attack these remote connectivity points, which are often secured only by weak credentials. Criminals can disable an entire company by exploiting these security oversights and other threats like known vulnerabilities, stolen credentials, and zero-day attacks. Intruders can explore and steal from a victim’s network for months before they are detected.
Barracuda CloudGen Firewall defends companies from these criminals by using advanced protection features that block bot-based attacks and intruders. The Intrusion Detection and Prevention System identifies and blocks advanced techniques that hackers use to hide from security while exploring a network. Barracuda Advanced Threat Protection adds additional security against advanced malware, zero-day exploits, and targeted attacks that may not be detected by traditional virus scanning features.
Stop ransomware and other advanced threats.
There are thousands of ransomware variants in the wild, though only a handful of these are well known. Most of these threats take advantage of Industry 4.0 convergence by gaining entry through business machines and then spreading through the network to disrupt industrial control systems (ICS). A smaller subset of ransomware targets programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) directly. These attacks interfere with equipment and disrupt workflows that manage production.
Protect your network endpoints with the cutting-edge security of Barracuda Managed XDR and our global security operations center. This subscription service delivers 24x7x365 monitoring and threat hunting to your network. Security analysts identify and respond to threats before the attack can spread through your network. And because the entire security stack is integrated into one platform, the SOC team can also respond to infections introduced by USB or other physical media.
Protect and optimize your network with secure SD-WAN.
Industrial networks distributed throughout multiple facilities, field locations, and public cloud platforms can be difficult to connect and secure. Remote locations may suffer from poor network or internet availability, and facilities that are geographically dispersed can have many potential points of failure between them. Installing dedicated lines to ensure connectivity to mission-critical resources can cost money and time that you don’t have.
Barracuda Secure SD-WAN connects and secures multiple sites, users, and cloud deployments with the advanced features of Barracuda CloudGen Firewall. Protect the entire network with application control, Advanced Threat Protection, and other advanced security features. WAN-optimization capabilities enable you to use low-cost internet lines to connect remote or rural locations.
Provide secure remote access for authorized users.
Companies rely on remote access technologies for engineers, production managers, and anyone else who manages or monitors conditions at another location. RDP and VPN access are commonly deployed solutions, but they can create security gaps and add more work for the IT staff. They also expose the network to malware or viruses that may be on the remote user’s device.
Barracuda CloudGen Access is a Zero Trust solution that performs continuous verification of user and device identity. This ensures that users and devices access only the applications they are explicitly assigned. Streamlined provisioning and centralized administration allow IT teams to easily manage user accounts, enforce global security policies, and maintain complete visibility into user access.
Secure and simplify your network.
Attack your challenges with security, connectivity, and user access head-on with Barracuda SecureEdge. This enterprise-grade Security Access Service Edge (SASE) platform brings secure SD-WAN, Zero Trust Access, secure internet access, and scalable zero-touch device deployment capabilities together in one solution.
Industry 4.0 relies on hybridity, with applications that reside in data centers, public clouds, business offices, and the shop floor. Cyber-physical systems dominate digital manufacturing and supply chain infrastructures. Barracuda SecureEdge was built with these environments in mind.
Strengthen your defenses while reducing your costs.
Every company is forced to defend multiple threat vectors. Email systems, public cloud deployments, networks, servers, and endpoints are all targets for threat actors. Industry 4.0 is incorporating more technology and connectivity into company infrastructure, while well-funded criminal gangs are looking for new ways to attack these systems. This is all happening against the background of a global cybersecurity workforce gap that will continue to grow.
Barracuda Managed XDR provides companies with a strong security posture that can withstand zero-day vulnerabilities, supply chain attacks, and other sophisticated and advanced threats. Our state-of-the-art technologies leverage the most current threat intelligence to proactively monitor your network for threats and unusual behavior. This constant monitoring and threat hunting stops criminals from getting a foothold in your network.
