Questions and Value Proposition

Is social media providing a security
or liability issue on your network?
Monitor social messaging: Regulate
social media and Web 2.0 applications
with granular controls. Monitor social
messaging in real time with alerts for
admin when suspicious activity occurs.
Do you have mobile users covered with your
current content security plan - including
laptops, tablets, and smartphones?
Mobility covered: Use the Barracuda
Web Security Agent for laptop
protection, the Barracuda Safe Browser
for tablets and smartphones.

How do you deal with managing multiple

boxes/solutions for content security?
Centrally manage your solution: With
Barracuda Appliance Control you can
manage multiple Barracuda appliances/
products from a single interface.
How much time do you spend on
restoring infected devices?
Free up IT time: Prevent malware and
spyware intrusions, freeing up IT time from
restoring infected devices. Find and remove
malware with the Barracuda Malware
Removal Tool (included at no extra cost).

How do you currently get visibility into

what your users are doing on the web?
Get visibility into your network: Barracuda
Web Filter can give complete visibility with
status dashboards (overview), 20 specific
pre-canned reports, and 45 different
reports for deeper forensic analysis.
Do you think your bandwidth
could be better managed?
Enforce higher productivity levels for your users:
Boost productivity by enforcing granular access
policies that selectively block unproductive
activities while allowing productive ones
(e.g., allow access to Facebook for marketing
purposes, but not to Facebook Chat or Games).
