"Until now the SMB market has had very few secure remote access solutions
to choose from, primarily because the current offerings are too expensive or
too complex," said Stephen Pao, vice president of product management for
Barracuda Networks. "With the Barracuda SSL VPN 180, we are lowering the
point of entry by bringing powerful technology in a form factor that is easy
to deploy and maintain and that is priced well within the budget constraints
of even the smallest of businesses."

In addition, the full Barracuda SSL VPN line will now offer a cache
cleaning utility to protect information accessed by users who access internal
network resources remotely from a public or shared computer through the
Barracuda SSL VPN. When enabled, the cache cleaning utility automatically
runs when users logout or disconnect, clearing all traces of the secure
session from the Web browser cache and history.

The Barracuda SSL VPN product line now also features administrator tools
that allow policy enforcement for network access control based on client
operating system or Web browser version. These policies can be used to ensure
that end user computers are updated to the latest versions and free of known
vulnerabilities prior to gaining access to network resources.

Pricing and Availability

Barracuda SSL VPN 180 is available now starting at US$699 with no per user
fees. International pricing and availability varies depending on region. For
