SOLUTION BRIEFStellar Cyber Open XDR
Improve security across Barracuda solutions for better visibility,correlation, and auto-response
Today’s security tools are often siloed across multiple elements where they generate more data
than the available security personnel are able to deal with and where gaps create the potential for
missed threats. Combining Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Web Application Firewall solutions
with the Stellar Cyber Open XDR platform overcomes these challenges by eliminating the silos anddeploying Stellar Cyber’s Advanced AI engine for high-fidelity detection and correlation across tools
and deployments that dramatically outperforms human scrutiny and intervention.
