Security, Connectivity and Performance Solutions

Assessing Your Organization's Network S.W.O.T.

Like your financial advisor no doubt dutifully instructed, you build your financial plan starting with risk mitigation through insurance, and building out your Data Center performance has parallels. As your organizations grows, you're faced with the opposing forces of extending connectivity out to more and more users while dealing with equally expanding threats, both from the users themselves as well as externally. DLP advances the idea that you need to secure your network and data as you build out accessibility to applications and data for internal and external users. We do this by looking at:

• Keeping users productive by removing malware (Spam, Virus, etc) and improper internet usage (Web Filtering) threats.
• Securing internal networks and servers from outside attacks while providing application access to remote users.
• Optimizing the performance of web-based applications served to both internal & external users.
• Backing up critical data, and specifically email and IM messaging, with simple and efficient tools that deliver access through unique, searchable criteria to meet legal discovery and compliance requirements.

With constantly changing threats and equally changing technologies, DLP serves our clients by constantly evaluating the best available solutions in specific network areas. We can help you evaluate your network's SWOT and deliver specific solutions to keep you on top of them as you continue to improve your performance.

Wrestling the Malware Menace 

While there has been a continuous and increasing threat of malware over the last 10+ years, there has been an almost equally malicious threat of over-priced solutions.  As the available technologies improve, costs and/or capabilities should improve with them but there continues to exist a number of high-end solutions that simply don't deliver scalable value.

Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall
As the #1 most widely used spam filtering appliance, and winner of numerous industry honors, leading organizations around the world continue to trust Barracuda Spam Firewalls for complete protection against Spam and its resource demanding consequences.

Barracuda IM Firewall
The Barracuda IM Firewall is easy to set up and rollout to your users. Installing a unit inline takes just minutes. Once connected, all public IM traffic is captured and logged to an internal database. With an intuitive user interface for maintenance and monitoring, the Barracuda IM Firewall is a virtually administration-free solution.

Barracuda Web Filter
Having just received 5 of 5 stars, and SC Magazine's "recommendation" for its performance, feature set, cost and ease of use, the Barracuda Web Filter is one content filtering solution that organizations of all sizes cannot afford to overlook.

Extending Application Availability & Performance without Sacrificing Security

Barracuda SSL VPN
Designed for remote employees and road warriors, the Barracuda SSL VPN provides comprehensive control over file systems and Web-based applications requiring external access. The Barracuda SSL VPN integrates with third-party authentication mechanisms to control user access levels and provides single sign-on.

Barracuda Load Balancer
For applications requiring persistence, the Barracuda Load Balancer can maintain state using client IP addresses or Layer 7 information such as a client cookie, depending on model. It can also be used to provide Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) for multi-site redundancy.

Barracuda Link Balancer
Designed to scale for high bandwidth requirements and provide business continuity for an organization of any size, the Barracuda Link Balancer optimizes the use of multiple Internet links, such as T1s, T3s, DSL and cable connections from one or multiple Internet service providers.

Barracuda Web Application Controllers
The Barracuda Web Application Firewall and the Barracuda Application Gateway provide superior protection against hackers' attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in enterprise Web applications.
