Powerful, Enterprise-Class Solution

The Barracuda Web Filter uses a three-pronged approach, combining preventative, reactive, and proactive measures in order to provide you with a complete Web Filtering solution. The Barracuda Web Filter is designed for the enterprise. It enables you to customize policies by user or group and based on a specific timetable. The LDAP integration feature syncs the Web Filter with many popular LDAP servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory, for authentication and user/group information. Some examples of how this can be used include:

  • Making job board websites available to the Human Resources group only
  • Defining separate policies for managers as opposed to tech support workers
  • Enabling a CEO unrestricted access to the internet
  • Providing use of instant messaging (such as MSN Messenger) at lunch hours only
  • Restricting access to social networking sites during working hours

Barracuda Spam&Virus Firewall Architecture

If your organization does not use a directory server (such as Microsoft Active Directory) web browsing policies can be defined for all unauthenticated users, users and groups defined locally, or by IP range.

Best of Breed Spyware Protection

The Barracuda Web Filter eliminates spyware from your network using it’s two tiered approach to spyware removal. The appliance filters incoming traffic at the gateway, preventing new spyware from penetrating your network. The second step is performed using the Barracuda Spyware Removal Tool, which is an ActiveX control which is served up automatically to desktops upon detection of spyware activity (such as “phoning home”). This approach negates the need to have preloaded client software on every machine, only removing spyware from machines which show malicious activity.

Easy to Use

Since the Barracuda Web Filter has no client-side software to install and requires no modifications to your existing network it is astonishingly simple to deploy. Utilizing a powerful and intuitive web-based user interface the Bararcuda Web Filter can be configured and customized to fit any environment with minimal time required. Since the unit is connected to Barracuda Central, Barracuda’s state of the art 24/7 security operations center, updates to the spyware database and white & black lists are made automatically. The updates are made hourly, providing users with ongoing enforcement of Web usage policies and protection against spyware.

Affordable

From large enterprises to small businesses, everyone needs a cost-effective solution that can grow as the company grows. With no per-user licensing fees, the Barracuda Web Filter is the most affordable content filtering, anti spyware, and application blocking solution available
