1. Barracuda Firewall The Next-Generation Firewall for Everyone
Version 6.5 | September 2014

2. Challenge: Port-Based Firewalls
Loss of network control
Application driven malware
Block UDP traffic
Block FTP traffic
Allow HTTP
Mimic Web Browsing
HTTP Live Streaming
Port Hopping
Older stateful packet-filtering firewall technology was developed to secure network perimeter access at a port/session level.
Stateful firewalls provide adequate security for traffic that use standard ports such as HTTP and FTP.
Newer HTTP applications are specifically developed to circumvent older firewall technology by Port-Hopping and streaming via HTTP.
YouTube streams video HTTP
Skype streams video chat via HTTP
DropBox allows transfer of possible secure files via HTTPS
Application-driven malware also rampant today and downloadable via HTTP/HTTPS ports.
The inability of older stateful port-based firewalls to police today’s web-based applications and sites can result in loss of expensive bandwidth, intellectual property, and confidential information.

The Barracuda Firewall’s Dynamic Link-Management features provide the ability to streamline customer traffic.
Link-Balancing is customers to balance their network traffic over multiple links and maximize the bandwidth of their redundant Internet connections.
Automated Failover provides assurance that a customer’s business doesn’t suffer if their Internet service provider goes down. The Barracuda Firewall automatically re-routes traffic if one of the Internet links fails.
Also, the Barracuda Firewall supports multiple load-balancing algorithms including Round-Robin, Weighted, and Fallback.

The Barracuda Firewall supports multiple VPN capabilities, allowing for both remote user connectivity and businesses that need to connect multiple sites.
With SSL VPN, the Barracuda Firewall grants users a secure tunnel to access internal corporate resources.
Site-to-Site VPN lets multiple locations connect over a secure tunnel with each other over the Internet. A site-to-site VPN allows a company to extend their resources to employees at remote locations.
Client-based VPN uses a Windows or Mac-based desktop client to connect remote users to corporate resources through a secure tunnel. The Barracuda Firewall client supports IPsec and PPTP based clients.
Last, Client-to-Site VPN allows remote users’ access to internal corporate resources. The Barracuda Firewall provides client access for IPsec, PPTP, and SSL VPN’s.
All VPN models are available without licensing fees.
SSL VPN*: BFW X200 and higher
