Barracuda Networks has launched its new Vulnerability Remediation Service, a cloud-based solution designed to simplify deployment of comprehensive web application security with minimal administrative overhead. The service automates security policy enforcement with on-demand or scheduled scanning and automatic remediation of web application vulnerabilities, simplifying security operations for DevOps teams especially as application developers look to leverage the agility and elasticity of public cloud platforms.
According to the company, Barracuda Vulnerability Remediation Service alleviates pressure on DevOps teams by integrating security directly into the application development process. The automated security policy configuration created by the Vulnerability Remediation Service can be applied across any number of Web Application Firewall instances. Highlights of the service include:
- Automated Vulnerability Detection – Schedule regular or on-demand scanning of websites and applications to find vulnerabilities.
- Automated View of Vulnerability Landscape – Continuously monitor with comprehensive reporting to learn about the threats posed by discovered vulnerabilities and associated risks.
- Automated Remediation – Automatically create security configurations customized to specific applications and vulnerabilities.
“There’s a tremendous amount of pressure on IT to protect company assets even with the growing gap between the discovery of vulnerabilities and the resources to successfully mitigate them,” says Hatem Naguib, senior vice president and general manager, Security Business at Barracuda. “With Barracuda Vulnerability Remediation Service, we make it easy for application developers to secure their applications from the time they write their first few lines of code. Our automated remediation creates an ‘always secure’ application environment, which enables DevOps teams to concentrate on development or application patching, without having to take additional steps to ensure applications are protected after every build.”
Barracuda Vulnerability Remediation Service is currently available free of charge to authorized Barracuda resellers and customers with a valid subscription. Barracuda Web Application Firewall is available starting at $4,999 for the appliance and $1,349 for Energize Updates. Optional Instant Replacement service starts at $1,099.
Barracuda Web Application Firewall is available for public cloud deployments in Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
