Industrial Security neu gedacht – Edge Computing & IIoT mit Barracuda

Edge computing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are becoming increasingly important in today’s industrial landscape. These technologies enable companies to process data closer to the source and thus create more efficient and secure processes. Barracuda addresses these developments and presents innovative features in the upcoming major release 10.0 of the CloudGen Firewall that have been specially developed for these requirements.

Edge computing on the CloudGen firewall

With the new edge computing feature, container-based applications from third-party providers can be operated directly on the firewall. This expands the range of applications to include components such as anomaly detection, remote access or protocol conversions. Processing these applications directly at the source not only increases efficiency, but also reduces hardware and administration costs.

SecureEdge Connector: Secure connection of distributed IIoT infrastructures

Another highlight is the extension of the SecureEdge platform with the Barracuda Connector. This lightweight software agent enables secure, routing-based integration of distributed infrastructure components, regardless of whether they are located in the cloud, at the edge or as distributed IIoT components. This facilitates the implementation of Zero Trust and provides secure access for distributed networks and locations.

Advantages for your company

• Cost savings: The direct processing of applications on the firewall and the secure connection of distributed systems can reduce hardware and administration costs.

• Increased efficiency: The new features enable more efficient data processing and administration, especially in IIoT and OT environments.

• Increased security: Seamless integration and the use of Zero Trust principles significantly improve the security of your infrastructure.

Barracuda is setting a milestone in industrial security with the new features of the CloudGen Firewall and the SecureEdge platform. Companies benefit from innovative solutions that have been specially developed to meet the challenges of modern IIoT and OT environments.
