To provide you with maximum protection against spam, spyware, and viruses Barracuda Networks maintains Barracuda Central, a powerful operations center. Our engineers at Barracuda Central work day and night to continuously monitor the Internet for new trends and develop new ways to counteract any new threats. By spotting these types of trends early on, the team at Barracuda Central can then quickly develop new and improved detection and blocking techniques.
