What is Barracuda CloudGen Firewall?
A firewall is the place in cybersecurity where policy stops being a document and becomes traffic that either passes or does not. What separates a next-generation device from a classic one is not the length of the feature list but where the decision is taken — on the port and the address, or on the application and the user behind it.
Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is a next-generation firewall combining network security with SD-WAN functionality. Available as physical appliance, virtual or in public cloud.
