The Barracuda NextGen Firewall S-Series empowers customers to massively scale thousands of connected devices with powerful technology that is easy to use and affordable. “Next-generation firewall appliances typically deployed in smaller networks can be very complex and expensive for organizations with hundreds or even thousands of remote kiosks, such as banks with ATMs and energy providers with wind power stations. “The ‘Internet of Things’ has given critical awareness to the fundamental need to protect individual devices and endpoints connected to a network,” said Klaus Gheri, VP Network Security, Barracuda.

The central IT department can quickly create a configuration file via the Barracuda NextGen Control Center through the configuration wizard included. Quick deployments – SC1 appliances can be shipped directly to the intended remote location without the need for specialized IT personnel to be present onsite.Then, Barracuda NextGen SACs are updated with all needed routing paths. Automatic network setup – Administrators can use the automatic network setup feature to define a single, large network that is automatically partitioned into smaller subnets, which then are automatically assigned to the SC1 appliances.Once a template is changed, all SC1 appliances linked to this template are automatically updated within seconds. Template-based management – New template-based editor, SCA Editor, can be used to create templates at various organizational levels.It provides organizations with greater flexibility to securely connect highly distributed networks, and includes the same advanced security functionality such as Application Control, Anti-Virus, IPS, and URL filtering well known with the Barracuda NextGen Firewall F- and Barracuda NextGen Firewall X-Series products. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall S-Series helps customers enforce proper access privileges, secure and centrally manage all communications, and quickly roll out thousands of devices to untrained staff in remote locations. The Barracuda NextGen SAC is a virtual gateway – capable of running in Microsoft Azure environments or in private clouds – to optimize network traffic flow and centrally apply next-generation security functionality to deployed SC1 appliances.
