Successful Web Gateway Security is measured by four critical objectives

• Mitigate legal liabilities created by inappropriate Web content
• Increase productivity by removing Internet distractions
• Protect the network from threats delivered by Internet services and applications
• Preserve network resources

Comprehensive Web Security must successfully deliver the following benefits

• Protection at the Web gateway
• Compliance and confidentiality enforcement
• Data leakage prevention
• Protection from content-related legal liabilities
• Mitigation of reputation risk
• Increased user and IT staff productivity
• Mitigation of reputation risk

Content filtering is another effective weapon in your arsenal. It proactively blocks websites that are known to contain malicious code, "fake" sites that capture sensitive information, and those that are not business-related or appropriate.

Powerful, Enterprise-Class Solution

The Barracuda Web Filter combines preventative, reactive, and proactive measures to form a complete Web filtering solution. Designed for the enterprise, the Barracuda Web Filter enables you to set up custom policies for particular user and groups across customizable time ranges. The Barracuda Web Filter integrates with popular LDAP directory servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory, for both authentication and group membership information on which to apply custom policies. Sample uses of group policies include:

• Restricting access to job board Web sites to only the Human Resources group
• Defining separate policies for teachers and students at a school
• Enabling compliance officers unrestricted access to the Web for investigation
• Providing external instant messaging (e.g., AIM) access only to specific users or groups

For organizations that do not utilize directory servers, policies can be defined for unauthenticated users as a whole, locally defined users and groups, or network IP address ranges.

In providing Web security at the gateway, the Barracuda Web Filter prevents new spyware and virus infections as they attempt to penetrate the network. In addition, the Barracuda Web Filter facilitates automatic removal of spyware from previously infected Windows computers with the included Barracuda Spyware Removal Tool, an ActiveX control that can be served up automatically upon detection of spyware protocol activity (i.e., "phoning home.") By adaptively targeting those machines that are infected, the Barracuda Web Filter provides widespread protection and removal without requiring preloaded client software on every machine on the network.

Easy to Use

With no client software to install and no modifications required to your network, the Barracuda Web Filter is easy to deploy. It has an intuitive user interface for maintenance and monitoring, making it a virtually maintenance-free solution. Even system updates are made automatically by Barracuda Central, an advanced 24/7 security operations center where engineers work continuously to catalog sites used in personal Web browsing and to provide the most effective methods to combat the ever changing spyware variants. Updates are performed hourly so that your Barracuda Web Filter can provide ongoing enforcement of your Internet usage policy and protection of your network.
