Barracuda F280.
Full-featured protection for growing branches.
The Barracuda CloudGen F280 is built for branch offices and mid-size sites that need more throughput and port density
than an entry-level box, without stepping up to rack-mount hardware. It combines next-gen firewall protection and Secure
SD-WAN in a compact desktop chassis.
Stateful firewall & IPS, application control, TLS/SSL inspection, web filtering, dual antivirus,
and Advanced Threat Protection sandboxing — all in a single security stack.
Management & Support
Managed individually or at scale through Barracuda Firewall Control Center, with zero-touch deployment,
REST API access, and active-passive high availability.
