Constantly Evolving Capabilities
The Barracuda Web Security Gateway is continually updated with the latest malware signatures, suspicious URL listings, and online application functionality. And as new requirements emerge such as the need to monitor and regulate social-networking activities-upgrading with new capabilities is automatic, and always transparent.
Knowledge = Power
The Barracuda Web Security Gateway's intuitive management interface delivers detailed, real-time visibility into network activity and web interactions. This lets administrators identify users and applications that waste bandwidth and harm productivity, and enforce granular policies to regulate access without impacting legitimate business uses.
