LOOPHOLD Security Distribution, local distributor of Barracuda Networks products, has recently added the Barracuda Web Application Firewall product line to its range of solutions, further augmenting its offering to resellers and end-users. The Barracuda Web Application Firewall is the industry's most cost-effective Web application security appliance, targeted at businesses of all sizes requiring Web application security and PCI compliance.
"Hackers are a common problem in cyberspace, and they are increasingly targeting business Web sites that do not have adequate protection against Web application attacks," said Martin Tassev, managing director of LOOPHOLD Security Distribution. "In the past, price and complexity of Web application security deployment have been barriers for many organisations. The Barracuda Web Application Firewall is both easy to use and affordable, bringing proper Web application protection within the reach of these businesses."
Benefits of the Barracuda Web Application Firewall:
* Protects Web sites against data theft, denial of service or defacement.
* Blocks or cloaks attacks, such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting attacks or buffer overflows, while preventing outbound sensitive data leakage.
* Automatically receives Barracuda Energize Updates for the latest policy definitions, security updates and attack definitions.
* Provides the same user interface and management framework common to all Barracuda Networks products.
The Barracuda Web Application Firewall product line integrates varied degrees of traffic management capabilities, including SSL offloading, hardware-based SSL acceleration and load balancing, which increases both performance and availability of the applications.
Affordable PCI compliance
In addition to ensuring the integrity and availability of a business' Web site, the Barracuda Web Application Firewall assists with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance for mainstream businesses that use their Web site or other Web applications to conduct retail transactions with customers.
The Barracuda Web Application Firewall fulfils major PCI DSS requirements, including:
Data protection - Proxies all inbound and outbound Web traffic to insulate Web servers from direct attacks.
Encryption - Provides SSL encryption even if the application or server does not enable SSL encryption for inbound or outbound traffic.
Vulnerability protection - Safeguards custom development, legacy and third-party applications from known zero-day attacks as well as the industry-accepted top 10 Web application vulnerabilities.
Access restriction - Utilises roles-based administration to enforce security policies for accessing systems and SSL administration.
