Use Cases
To achieve your specific goals or tasks, you can deploy and perform following with Barracuda SecureEdge:
SD-WAN
Barracuda SecureEdge provides a common set of SD-WAN policies out-of-box. It offers a default configuration for SD-WAN policies that uses a predefined application database to cover the most common use cases. However, if your setup requires a different SD-WAN profile for certain applications, you can define your custom policies by defining the Override Categories policies. For more information, see SD-WAN.
ZTNA Deployments via the Barracuda SaaS Service
SecureEdge Access uses a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution known as the SecureEdge Access Agent that lets you implement secure access to internal and external enterprise resources, whether they are on-premises or in the cloud.
