Barracuda Networks now sells its web application firewall (WAF) as a cloud-delivered, managed service.

Barracuda Networks announced today a managed cloud-based web application firewall (WAF) service that cybersecurity professionals can configure using a five-step wizard process.

Cloud application security requires new approaches, policies, configurations, and strategies that both allow organizations to address business needs and security risks in unison.

The service offers configuration options from zero-touch via Barracuda Vulnerability Remediation Service - which enables administrators to find, automatically fix and continuously monitor web application vulnerabilities - to policy customization.

Barracuda is making its Web Application Firewall platform available in a cloud-delivered model that benefits from a new management interface and improved configuration.

Whether it's a workflow-based utility such as Asana or a chat-oriented app such as Slack, these tools have also created new opportunities for cybercriminals looking to access your company's most vital information.

Calling the Barracuda WAF a firewall is seriously selling it short.

These 19 storage vendors, both hardware- and software-focused, in the last half-year or so have introduced new ways to connect their wares to Amazon Web Services or otherwise take advantage of AWS' hyper-scale capabilities.

Since the Equifax story broke, consumers and businesses have been hit by a wave of spam emails purporting to address security concerns. This is being done via “Secure Bank Message Impersonation — email attack delivered by spoofed messages from financial institutions,” Barracuda states.

Barracuda's Sanjay Ramnath, VP of Global Marketing is qouted in this article about a ransomware attack. 

A spate of bogus "secure message" emails from financial institutions are making the rounds, following the high-profile Equifax breach, according to a report released today by Barracuda.

A new campaign is looking to take advantage of the trust customers put into communications with their bank.

The Equifax breach may have you watching your financial records closely for evidence of fraudulent new accounts or suspicious transactions. But you may also want to keep a close eye on your incoming email, researchers say — and here's why.

“Judging by the lack of multifactor authentication, it’s very likely that the brute force attack took place via web access to the email server,” commented Fleming Shi, senior vice president of technology at Barracuda Networks Inc.
