How to Enable Integration with Barracuda XDR

  • Last updated on

The Barracuda CloudGen Firewall allows administrators to stream relevant security events to the Barracuda XDR platform to detect and provide an incident response to malicious events. A 24x7 SOC team streamlines responses to incidence, which reduces the damage of the attack. For more information on the Barracuda XDR solution, please refer to: https://barracudamsp.com/product-details/extended-detection-and-response-xdr/

For Barracuda CloudGen Firewall firmware 8.3.2 or lower, streaming events to Barracuda XDR requires a Firewall Insights subscription assigned to the box. The license is provided by the Barracuda XDR team.

  • When using Barracuda XDR with CloudGen Firewall firmware 8.3.1, you must install hotfix 1088. Please reach out to Barracuda Networks Technical Support to receive the custom hotfix.
  • Be aware that streaming events to Firewall Insights and Barracuda XDR at the same time is not possible.
