Constant Protection Against Evolving Threats

The Barracuda WAF provides robust security against data loss, application-layer DDoS attacks, and zero-day exploits. Automatic updates deliver new capabilities to block emerging threats, virtually patching vulnerabilities in real-time and minimizing downtime.

Granular Identity & Access Management

Secure sensitive applications and data with strong authentication and access control. The Barracuda WAF integrates with existing identity systems (Active Directory, LDAP) to restrict access to authorized users only, providing detailed audit logs for complete visibility.

Intuitive Administration & Management

Deploy active protection in less than a week with the Barracuda WAF’s easy-to-use interface. Granular logging, alerting, and reporting simplify management, compliance, and threat detection. High availability clustering ensures maximum application uptime.

Scalable Security for Public & Private Clouds

Protect your applications whether they reside on-premises or in the cloud (Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services). The Barracuda WAF seamlessly integrates into both private and public cloud environments, providing consistent security across your infrastructure.

Features

• Application Attack & DDoS Protection

  Protect against targeted attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) with robust security rules. Advanced DDoS protection identifies and blocks malicious bot traffic while allowing legitimate users access.

• Adaptive Profiling

  Build positive security profiles based on trusted web traffic to enforce granular whitelist rules, reducing the risk of attacks and preventing zero-day vulnerabilities.

• Server Cloaking

  Hide sensitive server information (banners, error messages, IP addresses) from potential attackers, making it more difficult for them to target your applications.

• Protection for Mobile Apps & APIs

  Secure mobile applications and REST APIs that rely on JSON data transfer. Protect against vulnerabilities often overlooked by traditional security methods.

• XML Firewall

  Protect applications that use XML from schema poisoning, recursive parsing, and other XML-based attacks.

• Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

  Inspect outbound traffic for sensitive data (credit card numbers, social security numbers) and block or mask it to prevent data breaches.

• URL Encryption

  Encrypt URLs to prevent tampering and protect against attacks that exploit URL vulnerabilities.

• Compliance Support (PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.)

  Simplify compliance with industry regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOX. The Barracuda WAF is certified by independent testing labs.

• Web-Based Identity & Access Management

  Integrate with Active Directory or other identity providers for centralized authentication and access control.

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

  Enhance security with two-factor authentication using client certificates, SMS passcodes, or hardware tokens.

• Client IP Reputation & User Access Control

  Control access based on geographic location and block suspicious IP addresses identified through reputation databases.

• Pre-Built Security Templates

  Deploy security quickly with pre-built templates for common applications like Exchange, SharePoint, and PHP.

• RESTful API Automation

  Automate configuration and monitoring using the Barracuda WAF’s RESTful API.
