Last week, Barracuda Networks announced that its widely deployed Barracuda Web Filter, models 1010 and 1011, have been enhanced with high-performance 10GbE interfaces.

The enhancement allows the appliances to efficiently protect enterprise networks against malware and malicious web content.

The Barracuda Web Filter 1010 / 1011 – which supports up to 100,000 simultaneous TCP connections at 2 Gbps throughput – provides application blocking, built-in reporting, content filtering, and malware protection.

“The Barracuda Web Filter 1010 has been deployed in several large-scale networks since its introduction in 2009,” noted Steve Pao, GM of the Security Business at Barracuda Networks.

“These hardware enhancements and the introduction of fiber interfaces on the 1011 will enable high-end network customers to adopt the Barracuda Web Filter as a key element of their IT security strategy.”

The enhanced versions of the Barracuda Web Filter models are available worldwide. More information on availability and pricing can be found here.
