The Barracuda NG Firewall offers comprehensive protection of distributed networks through a combination of hardware and virtual appliances at each office location and comprehensive VPN access options for remote users.

To centralize management across many different firewalls and remote access users, the Barracuda NG Control Center enables administrators to configure security and network access policies, control firmware update revisions, and manage user settings. Template-based configuration and globally available security objects enable efficient configuration across thousands of locations.

Barracuda NG Firewall appliances are available for locations of all sizes, ranging from the very small remote location to the headquarters or even data center.

For on the go users, the Barracuda NG Network Access Clients provide secure and convenient VPN access to the network. For internet kiosks or home computers where client software deployment is not appropriate, the Barracuda NG SSL VPN & NAC option provides secure access to vital network resources from any Web browser.
