Traditionally, security has been considered a network issue, where
system administrators lock down host computers through a network
firewall. While a typical network firewall can help restrict traffic to
HTTP and HTTPS, this traffic can contain command exploits leveraging
vulnerabilities in the Web application itself that can result in data
leakage, site defacement and other attacks by hackers that compromise
both the privacy and integrity of vital data. Businesses of all sizes
that operate their own Web applications should ensure that their Web
sites are protected against application vulnerabilities.
The Barracuda Web Site Firewall provides complete protection of Web
applications and is designed to enforce policies for both internal and
external data security standards, such as Payment Card Industry Data
Security Standard (PCI DSS). At the same time the Barracuda Web Site
Firewall 460 and higher models feature a comprehensive set of
application delivery capabilities designed to improve the performance,
scalability and manageability of today’s most demanding data center
infrastructures.
