Barracuda Firewall

Version: Barracuda Firewall X100 and later.

The Barracuda Firewall provides all next-generation application control and user identity functions in an easy-to-use. It outperforms traditional firewalls and UTMs by integrating a powerful next-generation firewall appliance with scalable cloud content security.

While the appliance is optimized for bandwidth-sensitive tasks like packet forwarding and routing, Layer 7 application control, Intrusion Prevention (IPS), DNS/DHCP services, and VPN connectivity, the cloud component handles processor-intensive tasks like virus scanning, content filtering, and reporting.

Syslog can be configured to send to Netsurion Open XDR manager, alerts and reports can be configured into Netsurion Open XDR.

Netsurion Data Source Integration for Barracuda Firewall allows you to monitor following:-

  • Monitoring Firewall messages which are scanned, sent or received.
  • Monitoring attacks such as command injection, Directory traversal, form tampering, obfuscation attack, SQL injection etc.
  • Monitoring firewall traffic.
  • Monitoring application platform exploit and authentication hijacking.

The following are the key Data Source Integration available in Netsurion Open XDR.
