Know your gear
The Barracuda Web Security Service Connector 1015 is an on-premises solution that integrates with your directory service for group-based policies and caches static Web content locally to save bandwidth. The connector can be configured either to provide local security and policy enforcement or forward traffic to the cloud-based Barracuda Web Security Service. The Barracuda Web Security Service Connector is available as a hardware appliance that integrates with Active Directory for user policies and forces the proxy settings instead of a network administrator having to configure each individual desktop.
