The Barracuda Web Application Firewall protects applications, APIs, and mobile app backends against a variety of attacks including the OWASP Top 10, zero-day threats, data leakage, and application-layer denial of service (DoS) attacks. By combining both positive signature-based policies with robust anomaly detection capabilities, Barracuda WAF can defeat today’s most sophisticated attacks targeting web applications.
Barracuda Active DDoS Prevention—an add-on service for the Barracuda Web Application Firewall—filters out volumetric DDoS attacks before they ever reach the network and harm your apps. It also protects against sophisticated application DDoS attacks without the administrative and resource overhead of traditional solutions, to eliminate service outages while keeping costs manageable for organizations of all sizes.
The Barracuda Web Application Firewall provides comprehensive security and availability for API’s.
