Hacking web applications has become the top action vector in breaches.

Ensure protection from web- application and zero-day attacks.
With its built-in Smart Signatures, powerful positive security model, and Machine Learning-powered Active Threat Intelligence, Barracuda Application Protection secures applications against the latest web app threats.
Detect and prevent leaks of personally identifiable information.
Barracuda Application Protection’s Data Theft Protection module uses its powerful scanner and built-in detection patterns to identify and redact personally identifiable information (PII) in application responses to prevent inadvertent data leakage.
Protect file uploads.
The built-in antivirus and cloud-based Advanced Threat Protection sandbox can scan and detect malware and advanced persistent threats in files, securing your site from malicious uploads.
Stop OWASP Top 10 attacks, zero-days, and more from compromising your applications.
Whether it’s a script kiddie attempting their first SQL injection against your login form or advanced attackers attempting to compromise your app with a zero-day vulnerability, Barracuda Application Protection has you covered. It provides comprehensive protection against the OWASP Top 10 web attacks, zero-day threats, account takeover attacks, and much more with its built-in Smart Signature engine and positive security model.
Real-time attacks need real-time responses. Barracuda Active Threat Intelligence collects threat data from a large, worldwide network of sensors and customer traffic. This data is processed using machine learning in near real-time and pushed out to connected units immediately, allowing for rapid detection of new threats and attackers. Barracuda Active Threat Intelligence also holds the cloud machine-learning layer for Advanced Bot Protection and Auto Configuration Engine. Auto Configuration Engine is a service that reviews all your application traffic from connected units and provides application-specific configuration recommendations, reducing admin overhead.
Prevent data leaks.
Attackers spend a lot of time reconnoitering applications before they compromise them — and error messages from an application are very valuable to them to understand and attack your application. In addition, many applications deal with PII — credit cards, passports, license numbers, and much more. Attackers love these parts of the application since the PII can then be sold for a big payday. Many applications also have predictable URL patterns when it comes to handling account details and such, leaving them vulnerable to enumeration attacks.
Barracuda Application Protection has a built-in Data Theft Protection module that looks for error messages and PII to identify and stop them from being revealed by the application. Admins can either use the powerful built-in signatures or create their own. In addition, the powerful URL Encryption feature scrambles sensitive URLs, removing the ability of attackers to perform attacks such as enumeration — without requiring any kind of change on the application side.
Enable protocol-level security for web applications.
Barracuda Application Protection includes a hardened SSL/TLS stack that provides a secure HTTPS front end to your applications. With pre-built templates, you can immediately set up secure TLS ciphers and protocols for standards compliance with ease. Barracuda Application Protection can also secure HTTP/2 and WebSockets-based applications from protocol-specific attacks.
Gain risk-based security for added protection.
Attackers today use a mix of tactics and techniques to infiltrate an application without being detected. To detect the more complex attacks starting from the initial reconnaissance attempts, Barracuda Application Protection uses machine learning to identify risky access patterns and stop the attackers. Each access of the application is evaluated by the Barracuda Active Threat Intelligence cloud, which assigns a risk score to both the request and the client. As the access to the application continues, the risk score is continually updated. Based on the score, the client is allowed or blocked.
Protect against dangerous supply-chain attacks.
Attackers exploit third-party scripts to perform client-side digital skimming attacks, such as Magecart, to steal PII and financial data directly from the browser. These attacks are difficult to detect because the scripts are loaded directly by the browser and attackers are using sophisticated techniques to avoid detection with scanners and similar defensive methods.
Barracuda Application Protection includes Client-Side Protection, a feature that automates the CSP and SRI configuration, reducing admin overhead and configuration errors. In addition to these capabilities, Barracuda Active Threat Intelligence provides visualization and reporting for these configurations, giving you deeper visibility into how the scripts are being used.
