Case Study: Franklin Synergy Bank achieves unified security and optimized bandwidth with Barracuda Networks

Franklin Synergy Bank Improves Network, Email, and Web Security with Barracuda Networks

Franklin Synergy Bank, a community bank in Franklin, Tennessee with about 70 employees across 11 locations, faced a degrading firewall that became a network bottleneck and lacked a unified approach to network, web, and email security. The bank needed scalable, affordable VPN access, better bandwidth and application control, network segmentation, and stronger protection against spam, malware, and risky web content.

The bank deployed a suite of Barracuda solutions—Barracuda Firewall, Web Filter, Spam Firewall, Link Balancer, Message Archiver, and Backup—using a single cloud-managed platform. Integration provided centralized management, consistent UI and support, optimized bandwidth for business-critical functions, reliable VPN connectivity at no extra cost, granular web-application controls, and reduced IT time and complexity.
