As an example of how the Barracuda Chromebook Security Extension is used, imagine a scenario where you are the IT manager of a medium-sized company that has a single email domain. You have your organization’s email infrastructure on Microsoft Exchange Server, and you allow the company’s employees to use their personal email addresses on their smartphones and tablets. For security purposes, you want to prevent any inappropriate web traffic from being used on those devices.

To achieve that, you install the Barracuda Web Security Gateway, configure it with your organization’s web filtering policies, and you’re ready to go. This way, any traffic that comes into your organization is securely routed to your organization’s network first, and only then to the Barracuda Web Security Gateway, which enforces your organization’s web filtering policies.
