Problem
Traditional VPNs often provide broad network access, creating security vulnerabilities and increasing the risk of lateral movement for attackers. Managing access for third-party users, contractors, and remote workers can be complex and introduce further security risks due to inflexible access controls.
Solution
Barracuda CloudGen Access, formerly Fyde, delivers software-defined, zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to enterprise applications and data, replacing the need for traditional VPNs. The platform offers granular access controls based on user identity, device posture, and application context, ensuring that users only have access to the resources they need. Continuous monitoring of access requests and strong device authentication enhance security by mitigating risks associated with third-party access, remote work, and unmanaged devices. By providing a more secure and user-friendly alternative to VPNs, CloudGen Access improves the overall security posture and reduces the attack surface.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes enterprises seeking to modernize their remote access infrastructure, improve security for third-party access, and secure access to applications and data in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
