We are pleased to announce that the Barracuda NextGen Firewall is now the first network firewall on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Our NextGen Firewall gives GCP customers access to a network security solution that offers several features:
- Full application visibility and user awareness
- IPS, URL filtering, antivirus, and Advanced Threat Protection
- Outstanding traffic visibility tools
- Flexible client-based and clientless VPN options for secure access to cloud resources
- Hybrid office-to-cloud connectivity using built-in SD-WAN capabilities
Like other public cloud platforms, Google Cloud operates on a shared security model. This means that Google will secure the platform, but the customer is responsible for securing the workloads in the cloud. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall fits seamlessly within the Google security model, so you can easily secure your network using an advanced, full-featured firewall solution.
If you would like to learn more about using Barracuda NextGen Firewall on the Google Cloud Platform, visit our corporate website here, and our press release here.
