Barracuda Web Security Gateway overview

What is Barracuda Web Security Gateway?

Barracuda Web Security Gateway is a cloud-based solution, which helps enterprises protect applications and social media platforms from various types of cyber threats, misused bandwidth issues, and malware, spyware, or virus attacks. Features include SSL filtering, traffic monitoring, tagging, and reporting.

The application enables administrators to set up granular policies to control access to websites or applications, track risky behavior, and determine bandwidth usage. The dashboard helps users identify ongoing activity, potential risky patterns, TCP connection usage in real-time, and more. Supervisors can also configure devices to generate alerts based on predefined or custom keywords.

Barracuda Web Security Gateway uses dual-layer virus blocking, decompressing archives, and blocking file types to identify and restrict access to sites hosting spyware or viruses. It includes a Chromebook Security Extension that allows schools to enforce web security policies on remote devices. It helps IT teams perform SSL inspections to monitor content across social media, email, or search engines.
