Barracuda Networks’ Web Application Firewall has been approved by Microsoft for integration into the Azure App Service. The web application firewall protects dynamic web applications against unwarranted intrusions with layered security in Azure environments. Additionally, it provides protection when traditional security models are challenged by modern web programming techniques, including JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and Representation State Transfer (REST).
“The rapid transition to cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure offers many great benefits for customers, however, it still requires attention to security so cloud assets and applications remain protected,” explains Michael Hughes, SVP WW Sales, Barracuda. “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 augment security for applications developed on any platform through the Azure App Service. Highlights include:
- Security-enhanced deployments – Barracuda Web Application Firewalls boast easy deployed into the Azure App Service environment and 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.
