With a long-standing heritage in security and storage, Barracuda Networks remains the leader in protecting email infrastructures. A comprehensive set of security layers ensures that organizations remain productive in the face of an evolving threat landscape. The Barracuda Spam Firewall manages all inbound and outbound email traffic to protect organizations from email-borne threats and data leaks.

With the backing of one of the most diverse bodies of threat data in the industry and real-time threat analysis, the Barracuda Spam Firewall offers total threat protection against zero-day threats and targeted attacks. With its advanced DLP and encryption capabilities, organizations can also rest assured that sensitive information is not unnecessarily exposed.

Customers enjoy all the benefits of the Barracuda Spam Firewall including:

• Inbound and outbound filtering of spam and viruses backed by Barracuda’s real-time threat intelligence framework
• Advanced DLP controls and encryption technologies to protect sensitive data
• Additional email continuity and availability with cloud-based spooling in the event that mail service is unavailable

The Barracuda Spam Firewall is a powerful, user-friendly appliance for Inbound/Outbound Filtering and Data Leak Prevention. As a Linux-based security appliance, however, there are a few differences between it and a typical server running on Azure:

• Appliance administration is typically done via a web user interface, not a remote-access protocol such as ssh or remote desktop.
• A web browser, typically pointed at http://[servicename].cloudapp.net:8000 with the default username "admin" and the default password "admin" is how you log in to the Barracuda Spam Firewall.
• The Barracuda Spam Firewall is licensed using the Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) model and you will need to purchase or request an evaluation license the first time you visit the administrative user interface.

Note: Setting the user and password currently on Azure Portal has no effect and a forward for TCP port 8000 will be created automatically when you deploy this VM. See https://techlib.barracuda.com/BSF/Azure for details.
