分布式防火墙

Barracuda Firewall Control Center allows the creation of a global firewall ruleset that is installed on all machines it is applied to. In addition, local and special rule sets can be be installed on specific boxes only. For example: The MSSP has a Network Operation Center (NOC) to monitor all services provided to a customer. In this environment, there are global firewall rules that allow every kind of monitoring connection and local firewall rules specific to a customer. The MSSP can determine whether global or local rules take precedent depending on the customer. This provides an added level of granularity for configuration because there are special rules defined for each customer to allow traffic to pass through the firewall. With this feature, the MSSP can be sure that there is a reliable monitoring and log flow. This is required for providing as well as demonstrating proof of service level agreements to customers.
