Barracuda Networks, a leading provider of cloud-enabled security solutions, has announced significant new capabilities for its Cloud Application Protection platform to deliver an additional level of protection and make it easier for organizations to secure their applications in a digitally transformed world.
These new services and features include client-side protection, the ability to deploy containerized WAF nodes and an auto-configuration engine. In addition, Cloud Application Protection now leverages Machine Learning, vulnerability scanning and remediation, and Advanced Threat Protection to provide active threat intelligence for more powerful protection.
Cloud Application Protection is Barracuda’s platform for Web Application and API Protection (WAAP).
“At Barracuda, we strive to continually make security easier for our customers, and Cloud Application Protection 2.0 provides enterprise-level application security with consumer-level ease of use,” said Tim Jefferson, SVP, Engineering for Data, Networks and Application Security at Barracuda.
“The powerful new capabilities we’re introducing address the application security issues organizations are most concerned about right now and also provide protection for where applications are headed next.”
Barracuda surveyed hundreds of IT security decision makers from organizations around the world, and the top five application security challenges they pointed to were bots, supply chain attacks, vulnerability detection, API security and security slowing down app developments.
