1. Barracuda NG Firewall ™
The Next Generation Firewall for Distributed Environments

2. Why today’s Firewalls and UTMs are broken
Visibility
No visibility into user behavior
No control over applications
Manageability
No centralized management
No centralized deployment
Intelligence
No network optimization
No traffic prioritization
Security
No Network Access Control
No IDS/IPS
No Secure Remote Access
From a visibility standpoint, “What are my employees doing with my bandwidth?”
From a cost standpoint, “How can I reduce my Internet bill?”
From a management standpoint, “Why does it take 5 guys to manage 30 firewalls?”
From a connectivity standpoint, “How can I provide secure remote access to my users?”

Identity Awareness
IPS Evasion Protection
We achieved 100% scores for Firewall enforcement, Application control, Identity awareness (including DC agent), and IPS evasion protection. Esp. the latter is remarkable because it is an even better quality indicator than coverage. Several evasion techniques can be used to trick an IPS – we got them all detected.
