Revolutionary Cloud-Based Web Security Offering

Phishing, malicious Javascript, worms, and other Web-based threats make Web security today’s must-address issue. In the past, protecting Web users against malware and enforcing Web usage policies inside the corporate perimeter as well as protecting users outside the perimeter at remote offices and with mobile laptops meant deploying separate technologies for each user class. Deploying mixed technologies often results in coverage gaps and difficult administration and reporting as well as other problems.

Barracuda Web Security Flex is a revolutionary offering that lets network professionals focus on the Web security they need instead of specific technologies. Barracuda Web Security Flex delivers advanced cloud-based malware protection, URL filtering and application control with the flexible deployment options needed to cover all users in unique enterprise environments regardless of location and mobility status – under a cloud portal for centralized management and reporting.

Advanced Malware Protection and Content Filtering
Barracuda Web Security Flex delivers state-of-the-art Web protection and filtering:
  • Anti-virus signatures that update continuously for fast response to new and known threats
  • Advanced heuristics block unknown Web viruses and spyware
  • AJAX-aware analysis detects malicious Web apps and script-based attacks

Flexible Deployment Options

Barracuda Web Security Flex offers four deployment options to ensure total coverage. For corporate and branch office deployments inside the firewall, gateway appliances – hardware or virtual – integrate with enterprise directory services, like Active Directory, to control user and group-based policies. A pure SaaS Web security service provides malware protection and Web filtering without directory service integration for main offices, remote offices and home-based users. Software agents extend malware protection and Web filtering to mobile users’ laptops. Barracuda Web Security Agents now integrate with Windows PCs and Macs. Administrators can select any combination of deployment options to satisfy their exact Web security needs.

Centralized Administration, Management and Monitoring

With Barracuda Web Security Flex, administration is amazingly simple; set up a rule through the cloud portal and Barracuda Web Security Flex automatically adds the rule to SaaS, appliances and software agent deployments. The dashboard gives administrators a quick snapshot of aggregated traffic across all deployments. Administrators can also drill down through multiple levels of increasingly granular data for all locations and deployment options. Barracuda Web Security Flex unifies all management and reporting functions across all locations, user classes, and deployment options for superior ease of use.

Driving Out Deployment Risk

Barracuda Web Security Flex’s economics are based on the number of users protected independent of the specifics of the deployment. Even when additional gateway hardware is required for deployment, costs involve a simple one-time setup fee. There are no additional recurring charges for the maintenance of that hardware. There are no additional software license fees for agents. When needs change, you can easily add or remove deployed components. Barracuda Web Security Flex pricing effectively ends acquisition risks.
