Barracuda Networks, a provider of security, storage and networking offerings, has unveiled new features to its Spam & Virus Firewall that enhance inbound and outbound email scanning from the same appliance.
The company said that the new features include broader content inspection based on policy for both inbound and outbound email on a single appliance.
Barracuda said that Spam & Virus Firewall allows administrators to define policies, set up separate rules for inbound and outbound filtering and review the outbound email quarantine for any policy violations before delivery.
In addition, the offering also offers increased granularity of its roles-based administration interface, enabling assignment of sender and recipient policies on a per-domain basis.
Stephen Pao, vice president of product management for Barracuda Networks, said: "It is crucial for organisations, especially within highly regulated industries, to have the ability to protect intellectual property and other sensitive information from being distributed.
"The new Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall extends our powerful content scanning features and makes it easier for customers to manage both inbound and outbound email filtering from the same appliance."
