Industry leading spam and virus protection
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is an integrated hardware and 
software solution designed to protect your email server from spam, 
virus, spoofing, phishing, and spyware attacks. The Barracuda Spam 
& Virus Firewall is compatible with all email servers and can fit into 
nearly any corporate or small business environment. With no per 
user license fees, the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall offers the 
most affordable spam and virus protection available.
Flexible, Comprehensive Protection 
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is available in eight models to 
handle a wide range of needs for small and medium businesses, as 
well as large enterprises, including Internet Service Providers and 
hosting providers.  Multiple Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewalls can be 
clustered for greater capacity and higher availability. All Barracuda 
Spam  &  Virus  Firewall  models  incorporate  essential  outbound 
filtering techniques, including attachment scanning, virus filtering, 
rate controls, and encryption. These features help organizations to 
ensure that all outgoing email is legitimate and virus-free.
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall’s layered approach minimizes 
the processing of each email, which yields the performance required 
to process millions of messages per day. Unlike software solutions, 
the  Barracuda  Spam  & Virus  Firewall  reduces  the  load  placed  on 
the  email  server  by  offloading  both  spam  and  virus  filtering.  Its 
architecture leverages 12 comprehensive defense layers to provide 
industry-leading defense capabilities.
Easy-to-Use and Maintain 
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is easy to set up with no software to install or network modifications required – minimizing ongoing 
administration.    Energize  Updates  are  delivered  automatically  by  Barracuda  Central,  an  advanced  technology  center  where  engineers  work 
relentlessly to provide the latest spam definitions, virus definitions, and security updates which are distributed hourly for continuous protection 
against the latest threats.
The Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall filters all email messages and displays the 
number of emails received with statistics on how they were processed.
