New Barracuda NextGen Firewall S-Series Provides Simplified and Affordable Way to Enable New ‘Internet of Things’ Applications and Deployments Campbell, Calif. – (MARCH 2, 2016) – Barracuda Networks, Inc. (NYSE:CUDA) - Highlights:
Barracuda today announced it has expanded its next-generation firewall product family with the addition of the new Barracuda NextGen Firewall S-Series, which is designed to empower customers to connect thousands of machine endpoints, such as ATM machines or other remote devices, enabling new ‘Internet of Things’ applications and deployments. Barracuda announced immediate availability of two new products in the S-Series: the Barracuda NextGen Firewall Secure Connector 1 (SC1) and the Barracuda NextGen Secure Access Concentrator (SAC). The Barracuda NextGen SC1 is a small appliance that includes firewalling, Wi-Fi, and full VPN connectivity. The Barracuda NextGen SAC is a virtual gateway – capable of running in Microsoft Azure environments or in private clouds – to optimize network traffic flow and centrally apply next-generation security functionality to deployed SC1 appliances. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall S-Series helps customers enforce proper access privileges, secure and centrally manage all communications, and quickly roll out thousands of devices to untrained staff in remote locations. “The ‘Internet of Things’ has given critical awareness to the fundamental need to protect individual devices and endpoints connected to a network,” said Klaus Gheri, VP Network Security, Barracuda. “Next-generation firewall appliances typically deployed in smaller networks can be very complex and expensive for organizations with hundreds or even thousands of remote kiosks, such as banks with ATMs and energy providers with wind power stations. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall S-Series empowers customers to massively scale thousands of connected devices with powerful technology that is easy to use and affordable. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall S-Series launch further underscores Barracuda’s aim to help customers optimize network traffic and better regulate application usage in highly distributed and hybrid environments.” The Barracuda NextGen Firewall S-Series provides organizations with greater flexibility to securely connect highly distributed networks, and includes the same advanced security functionality such as Application Control, Anti-Virus, IPS, and URL filtering well known with the Barracuda NextGen Firewall F- and Barracuda NextGen Firewall X-Series products.
