Quotes: "Before Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service, it's almost like we were blind. We had no visibility into just how frequently we were being probed and attacked. Now going through the logs, our eyes have been opened, and it seems a wonder that we never suffered a serious breach in the past," said Kieron Prince, Cloud and Infrastructure Lead at L&Q in a Barracuda case study. "Barracuda has earned a reputation for providing powerful, easy-to-use protection for web applications and APIs," said Dave Sasson, Chief Strategy Officer at Hanu, an award-winning Microsoft Cloud services provider and Azure Expert MSP. "These new enhancements provide our mutual customers with a higher level of protection against API, bot, and client-side attacks."
