Barracuda introduces its CAP platform to secure web apps
Barracuda Networks has announced its new Cloud Application Protection (CAP) platform to address the escalating application security threats faced by today’s organizations. Barracuda CAP provides web application security, including a new WAF-as-a-Service solution that is built on Microsoft Azure and available in the Azure Marketplace.
Digital transformation is driving changes in enterprises that are making web applications critical to their business. Applications in the cloud and on-premises need to be secured, yet only 10 percent are currently protected by web application firewalls.1 This is primarily due to the complexity and resources required to manage web application firewalls.
As part of the Barracuda Cloud Application Protection (CAP) platform, the new WAF-as-a-Service is fully featured yet easy to deploy and manage. This brings application security to a broader market. In addition to WAF capabilities, the CAP platform also includes application vulnerability scanning and remediation, advanced bot protection, DDoS protection, and API security.
Barracuda’s WAF-as-a-Service uses Azure to provide local availability and ease-of-deployment across all 54 Azure regions. Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service retains the granular controls and customization offered in Barracuda’s WAF - yet it can be deployed as a service from the Azure Marketplace within only a few clicks and, within minutes, protect an organization’s web-facing applications.
Tim Jefferson, SVP of Data Protection, Network and Application Security, Engineering and Product Management, at Barracuda, says, “Organizations need application security that’s both easy to manage and flexible enough to protect applications wherever they are deployed. Barracuda Cloud Application Protection platform and WAF-as-a-Service hosted on the public cloud make that possible for a broader market.”
Barracuda’s Cloud Application Protection solutions are also being bundled by system integrators and resellers. One example is 10th Magnitude’s newly-released Healthcare Optimized Azure CAF (Cloud Adoption Framework) Landing Zone - a Marketplace offering that bundles services, consulting, workload migration, and Barracuda’s WAF for security, and is designed for healthcare providers looking for a more secure and simple way to migrate workloads and applications to Azure.
