What is Barracuda CloudGen Firewall? #
Barracuda CloudGen Firewall is a family of hardware, virtual, and cloud-based appliances that protect and enhance your dispersed network infrastructure.

Why Should You Use the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Connector? #
The Barracuda CloudGen Firewall connector provides visibility into the assets in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
-
derive relationships between assets, users, applications, and data
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall REST API and ingests only meta-data about Barracuda CloudGen Firewall devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
