Barracuda Networks Inc. has unveiled several new updates to its Web Security Gateway product line to protect web users from advanced threats including ransomware and to improve network performance with fast SSL scanning as well as the ability to enforce policy configuration on Chromebooks.
Barracuda Web Security Gateway version 11.0 can be deployed with Barracuda NextGen Firewalls and any existing third party UTM or firewall, delivering the performance benefits of independently scaling fast packet inspection and full web proxy functions, each of which has a different latency profile.
Additionally, the solution now offers integration with Barracuda Advanced Threat Detection, a cloud-based microservice designed to detect and protect against ransomware or other advanced threats, and Barracuda Chrome Security Extension, enabling web security policy enforcement polices in Chromebooks via a browser plugin. Policies can be enforced even when the devices are outside the network, providing security for students whether they are on campus or remote.
Barracuda Web Security Gateway version 11.0 is now available at no additional charge to existing customers on supported platforms with an active Energize Updates subscription. Barracuda Web Security Gateway list price starts at $1499 for the appliance and $399 for Energize Update subscriptions.
