and it easily and completely eliminates spyware and other forms of malware from your organization. No more 
productivity loss trying to repair computers or make computers usable again.

Blocks access to Web sites based on domain, URL pattern, or content category
Blocks downloads based on file type

Integrates with  safe search  filters built into popular images search engines
Provides integrated gateway and desktop spyware protection
Uses Barracuda Web Security Agents compatible with Windows PC’s and Macs to enforce Internet policies on off-network computers

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 users 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
Restricting personal Web browsing to non-working hours

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.

The Barracuda Email Security Service is a comprehensive and affordable cloud-based email security service that protects 
both inbound and outbound email against the latest spam, viruses, worms, phishing and denial of service attacks. Barracuda 
Email Security Service also includes email encryption and Data Loss Prevention features.

The Barracuda Email Security Service leverages advanced security technologies from the industry-leading Barracuda Spam & Virus 
Firewall and features rich multiple cloud-based protection:

    Rate control and Denial of Service (DoS) protection
    Reputation-based blocking from known spam and malware sources
    Anti-virus, featuring the patent-pending Barracuda Anti-Virus Supercomputing Grid
    Anti-phishing, using the Barracuda Anti-Fraud Intelligence
    Protection against spam, phishing, fraud and emails with other malicious intent
    Custom sender/recipient policy

Comprehensive Protection
Spam and viruses are blocked in the cloud prior to delivery to the customer, saving network bandwidth and providing additional 
Denial of Service protection. In addition to network bandwidth savings, cloud-based filtering offloads any processing required 
for spam and virus filtering from the email server. By leveraging the compute capacity available in the cloud, patent-pending 
Barracuda Anti-Virus Supercomputing Grid not only detects new outbreaks similar to known viruses, it also identifies new threats 
for which signatures have never existed.
