Benefits
When utilizing Crosser on Barracuda products, users can obtain the following advantages:
• Scalable connectivity to accommodate large and dispersed networks of industrial and IoT devices
• Transforms raw data and combines more data points without increasing the cost of data
• Data reduction by removing dirty and irrelevant data
• Granular control of data sent for remote analytics or received for remote control
• No additional hardware required for the Crosser rollout as the software is run directly on the edge device

“Maintaining secure connectivity for the large, complex networks necessary to run industrial IoT devices can be challenging for organizations as they scale, and managing the data collected at the edge adds another layer of complexity,” said Klaus Gheri, VP, Network Security, Barracuda. “This combined solution helps address these challenges in a scalable way.”
