Barracuda Hardware Refresh Program.

Monday, November 14th, 2011

The hardware refresh program is a convenient way to exchange your old Barracuda hardware unit for a new refresh unit of the same model. It is designed so you can take advantage of the performance benefits of the latest Barracuda hardware platforms and continue to receive the latest firmware and security updates.

Normally, refresh units are purchased for a fee that represents a discount over the list price over a new hardware unit. However, Barracuda Networks will waive this fee if your old hardware unit is more than 4 years old and covered under an Instant Replacement subscription. This means that by maintaining an Instant Replacement subscription with your Barracuda appliance, you can continue receiving a new hardware unit every 4 years at absolutely no additional cost.

With this, the Instant Replacement program provides a single, convenient subscription that covers you in case of hardware failure and provides an affordable way to migrate to the most current hardware platform on an ongoing basis.

To learn more or to see if you are eligible for a refresh unit please contact us.

Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall Protects Against Data Leaks

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

New Features Augment Spam Scanning, Virus Checking and Content Filtering Policy Enforcement for Both Inbound and Outbound Email

Barracuda Networks Inc., today announced new features to its flagship Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall that enhance full inbound and outbound email scanning from the same appliance.  The new features extend the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall’s capabilities beyond spam and virus scanning for outbound email, which can safeguard an organization’s email reputation, and include broader content inspection based on policy for both inbound and outbound email on a single appliance.  These enhancements ensure that confidential or sensitive information is not distributed outside the organization.

“It is crucial for organizations, especially within highly regulated industries, to have the ability to protect intellectual property and other sensitive information from being distributed,” said Stephen Pao, vice president of product management for Barracuda Networks.  “The new Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall extends our powerful content scanning features and makes it easier for customers to manage both inbound and outbound email filtering from the same appliance.”

Enforce Corporate Policies through Outbound Email Scanning The new Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall allows administrators to define policies to prevent confidential or sensitive information from leaving the organization.  For example, hospitals and other healthcare organizations that must comply with HIPAA policies that mandate the confidentiality of sensitive patient information such as social security or credit card numbers as well as personal health information can now apply pre-defined dictionaries to outbound email scanning to ensure compliance.  In addition, administrators can set up separate rules for inbound and outbound filtering, and review the outbound email quarantine for any policy violations before delivery.

Enterprise-Ready Management Additionally, the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall now offers increased granularity of its roles-based administration interface, enabling assignment of sender and recipient policies on a per-domain basis. These administration enhancements are useful for larger organizations that delegate administration across different divisions and for service providers offering granular policy controls directly to their end customers.

Pricing and Availability The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall firmware release 4.1 is immediately available in eight models with prices ranging from $699 to $89,999. International pricing and availability varies based on region. For more information please visit www.barracudaspamfirewall.ca

About the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is available in eight models with no per user fees.  A single Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall supports up to 100,000 active users, and multiple units can be clustered together for even greater capacity and availability.  Its architecture leverages 12 defense layers: denial of service and security protection, rate control, IP analysis, sender authentication, recipient verification, virus protection, policy (user-specified rules), Fingerprint Analysis, Intent Analysis, Image Analysis, Bayesian Analysis, and a Spam Rules Scoring engine.  In addition, the entire Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall line features simultaneous inbound and outbound email filtering with the inclusion of sophisticated outbound email filtering techniques, such as rate controls, domain restrictions, user authentication (SASL), keyword and attachment blocking, triple-layer virus blocking, and remote user support for outbound email filtering.  The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall’s layered approach minimizes the processing of each email, which yields the performance required to process millions of messages per day.

…”It used to be that some businesses were small enough to not matter to attackers,” says Paul Judge, chief research officer for Barracuda Networks in Campbell, Calif. “But with the volume of the attacks and the automation levels of the attacks, any business that is connected online needs to be prepared with proper security measures.”…
