CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Barracuda Networks,
Inc. (NYSE: CUDA) -
Highlights:
- Barracuda launched its new Vulnerability Remediation
Service, expanding its award-winning Web Application Firewall
product line and further simplifying the way web application
security is deployed and managed.
- Barracuda Vulnerability Remediation Service automates
security policy enforcement, making application security easy
for DevOps teams by reducing costs and complexities traditionally
associated with auditing code or patching software.
- Barracuda Vulnerability Remediation Service provides customers
with on-demand or scheduled scanning and automatic remediation of
web application vulnerabilities, enabling more agile workflow
processes and increased efficiency in on-premises, cloud-only
or hybrid environments.
Barracuda today announced its new Vulnerability Remediation
Service, a cloud-based solution that makes it easier for
organizations of any size to deploy comprehensive web application
security with minimal administrative overhead. Barracuda
Vulnerability Remediation 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. Barracuda Vulnerability Remediation Service
enables administrators to find, automatically fix and continuously
monitor web application vulnerabilities, creating more agile
workflow processes, increased efficiency, and ultimately reduced
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The service can be used for
applications deployed on-premises, or in hybrid or cloud-only
environments.
"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,"
said 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."
According to Verizon's 2016 Data Breach Investigation Report,
web application attacks are the biggest source of data loss, and
the number of data breaches caused by web application attacks is
rapidly increasing. Barracuda Web Application Firewalls
blocked more than 53 billion web application attacks in
December 2016 alone. Further,
vulnerability management "has been a tedious, time-consuming, often
manual and error-prone process in the past, requiring business
context and threat intelligence to answer," according to
Gartner.1 In addition, while knowledge of web
application vulnerabilities has been steadily growing for years,
they remain prevalent, which Gartner believes is a reflection of
the fact that "organizations are struggling not only with
identifying vulnerabilities, but also with remediating them and
creating secure development practices that eliminate
vulnerabilities before they are introduced."
Web Application Vulnerability Remediation Made "Easy as
1-2-3"
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 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, eliminating errors in manual configuration,
maximizing security and reducing false positives.
"We trust Barracuda's Web Application Firewall to protect
critical applications," said Mark
Aston, regional account director at DG Technology Consulting
LLC. "We are excited about the new Vulnerability Remediation
Service. The ability to easily detect vulnerabilities and apply
remediation policies automatically is a huge step forward in
simplifying a web application security strategy, and we look
forward to rolling it out to our customers."
