Barracuda Web Application Firewall Appliance 861 Active DDoS Prevention Subscription 1 Month - BWF861a-dd

Today’s distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks not only interrupt the availability of websites and applications, but also serve to distract security teams from even greater threats. Attackers combine a variety of attack types—including volumetric floods, stealthy application-targeted strikes, and role/authentication-type strategies—in hope of discovering vulnerabilities in an organization’s defense.

Cloud for Volumetric Defense

Can your network handle hundreds of gigabits per second? Volumetric attacks are sufficiently large enough to overflow most organizations inbound capacity. To defend against these attacks, incoming traffic is first re-routed through Barracuda’s high-bandwidth data centers that scrub the traffic clean before returning it to Barracuda WAF or WAF-as-a-Service.

WAF for Layer 7 Defense

Sneaky application layer level DDoS attacks such as Slowloris can slow down apps for everyone. HTTP floods or heavy URL resource attacks, including complex database queries, can quickly overwhelm applications. Technologies built into the Barracuda Web Application Firewall and WAF-as-a-Service mitigate the numerous application-layer and bot driven DDoS attacks.
