Why Your Business Needs Barracuda CloudGen Firewall

CloudGen Firewall isn't just an NGFW, it's a complete dispersed-network security platform combining next-gen protection, integrated Secure SD-WAN, and central management to connect sites, clouds, and users.

Next-Gen Threat Protection: Multi-layered detection combines threat signatures, behavioral analysis, static code analysis, and full-emulation sandboxing in cloud ATP, stopping ransomware and zero-day attacks.

Secure SD-WAN Built In: Integrated SD-WAN with proprietary TINA VPN protocol lets you aggregate up to 24 uplinks, replace expensive MPLS lines, and keep site-to-cloud traffic fast without a second vendor.

Layer 7 Application Control: Deep Packet Inspection identifies and controls 1,200+ applications and sub-applications, even under obfuscation or encryption, enabling granular policy by app, user, and location.

Centralized Multi-Site Management: Firewall Control Center manages thousands of CloudGen Firewalls and Secure Connectors from one console, with zero-touch deployment for remote sites lacking IT staff locally.

Built for how modern teams protect dispersed networks.

Everything your business needs to secure distributed sites, clouds, and remote users, delivered in one NGFW platform covering Layer 7 protection, IDS/IPS, Advanced Threat Protection, integrated Secure SD-WAN, and centralized management across hardware and cloud.

Next-Gen Firewall Protection

CloudGen Firewall delivers comprehensive NGFW protection combining IDS/IPS with advanced evasion defenses like stream segmentation, TCP split-handshake protection, IP/RPC defragmentation, FTP evasion protection, and URL/HTML decoding. Botnet and spyware defense uses DNS sinkholing to block outbound requests to malicious domains and isolate infected clients automatically. Energize Updates deliver signatures on regular and emergency cadence, keeping firewalls current with threat intelligence.

Advanced Threat Protection

Cloud-hosted Advanced Threat Protection uses layered detection including signatures, behavioral and heuristic analysis, static code analysis, and a full-emulation sandbox that detonates suspicious files to catch zero-day and ransomware threats. Once a new threat is identified, signatures are pushed back to pre-filtering layers, so repeat attacks are blocked without re-running sandbox analysis. File-type-based controls, automatic quarantine, and blocklisting give admins policy control over ATP.

Integrated Secure SD-WAN

Secure SD-WAN is built directly into CloudGen Firewall at no extra cost, connecting distributed sites, clouds, and remote users with Barracuda’s proprietary TINA VPN protocol. TINA aggregates up to 24 active load-sharing uplinks of any type (MPLS, broadband, LTE, fiber), optimizing application-aware path selection and automatic failover across all links. Direct internet breakouts for Office 365 and SaaS reduce backhaul, while compression and WAN optimization cut leased-line costs sharply.

Layer 7 Application Control

Deep Packet Inspection combined with behavioral traffic analysis identifies and classifies 1,200+ applications and sub-applications, even when protocols use obfuscation, port hopping, or encryption to evade detection. Admins build dynamic application policies that enforce acceptable use by user, group, category, location, and time of day. Application-aware QoS prioritizes business-critical traffic like voice, video, and SaaS, while real-time visibility lets teams refine policies continuously.

Central Management & Deployment

Barracuda Firewall Control Center provides unified management for thousands of CloudGen Firewalls and Secure Connectors across every site, cloud, and edge location from a single console. Zero-touch deployment lets remote sites activate new hardware without local IT staff, and configuration templates plus APIs make rolling out policy changes fast. Deploy as hardware, virtual, or cloud instances in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, with the same management framework across every option.
