The Barracuda Web Application Firewall protects dynamic web applications against unwarranted intrusions with layered security in Azure environments. Most notably, the Barracuda Web Application Firewall will be able to provide protection when traditional security models are challenged by modern web programming techniques, including JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and Representation State Transfer (REST). Barracuda Web Application Firewall will protect three types of Azure Apps – Web Apps, Mobile Apps, and API Apps.
Thiban Darmalingam, the Regional Manager for Barracuda in Malaysia says, “The rapid transition to cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure offers many great benefits for customers, however, attention to security is still required in order to ensure cloud assets and applications remain protected.”
“We’re excited to bring this additional capability to help our mutual customers take advantage of the cloud, and we look forward to continued success in our valued relationship with Microsoft.”
Customers can use the Barracuda Web Application Firewall to easily augment security for applications developed on any platform through the Azure App Service.Highlights include:
- Security-enhanced Deployments – Barracuda Web Application Firewalls are easily deployed into the Azure App Service environment and automatically add an extra layer of security.
- Security for REST / JSON based APIs – Azure API Gateway can be augmented with Barracuda Web Application Firewall to provide additional application layer security for REST / JSON based-APIs.
“Microsoft Azure App Service makes the building of cloud hosted web and mobile applications even easier,” adds Thiban.
“Barracuda and Microsoft have a shared interest of helping our mutual customers take advantage of the cloud to deliver great mobile and web experiences that engage and connect with their customers, while maintaining a strong security posture.” ends Thiban.
