Web-Based applications such as Facebook, Netflix, and Twitter also create bandwidth issues for businesses of all sizes. Social Media apps are also blurring the lines between leisure and enterprise web-browsing.

Application Detection controls the network perimeter by securing traffic at the application layer. The Barracuda Firewall provides similar enterprise-class application detection capabilities for the small and mid-market customer.
Finally, the Barracuda Firewall provides granular user-access control to applications.
