Protecting your space on the web

The widespread distribution of information and technology through the internet has changed the face of business forever. That same exposure, though, has created vulnerability for those who use the internet within their corporate environment. Open Invention Network (OIN) has announced that they have signed a license agreement with Barrracuda Networks which will enhance the protection they offer for the stated purpose of “creating a shielded Linux Ecosystem that is a deterrent against organizations looking to harm or slow the pace of Linux and open source growth and adoption.” Barracuda Networks, a leading provider of network security appliances, has won the Community Choice Award for Anti-Spam Applications in Business from Windows IT Pro two years in a row with their innovative Spam Filter. This new partnership combines Barracuda’s powerful, cost-effective and user-friendly network security appliances with OIN’s shielded Linux Ecosystem, providing a protected environment where web developers, software vendors and their clients can continue to embed and use Linux to host specialized services or create complementary products.

“As we grow the Linux Ecosystem, we are pleased to have Barracuda Networks become a licensee. Barracuda Networks is one of a growing number of companies that value the openness and collaborative culture of the Linux and open source communities.” said Jerry Rosenthal, CEO of Open Invention Network. You can read the entire press release for details of the new partnership.

  1. Our local ISP uses Barracuda filtering. It’s very good. So good, in fact, that sometimes things I really do want to receive, like emails from Lion Brand Yarn, are stopped! However, it’s a simple thing to login and whitelist emails that you know aren’t spam.

  2. It’s good to know that you’ve had a good experience with Barracuda, Ann. I love seeing that kind of validation of things I post about. :D
