Virtual Deployment

The Barracuda Email Security Gateway manages all inbound and outbound email traffic to protect organizations from email-borne threats and data leaks. It includes the following features:

• Secures inbound email traffic against inbound malware, spam, phishing, and Denial of Service attacks.
• Offloads compute-intensive tasks to the cloud, like antivirus and DDoS filtering, to reduce processing load on the appliance and ensure threats never reach the network perimeter.
• Spools email for up to 96 hours using the Cloud Protection Layer, with an option to redirect traffic to a secondary server.
• Ensures that every outbound email complies with corporate DLP policies using outbound filtering and quarantine capabilities.
