Barracuda Web Application Firewall: Maximum protection on Amazon Web Services
Today almost all sites use web applications: Webmail services, blogs, online stores, options to fill out forms, or applications to access database managers. There are thousands of examples because more and more web applications are becoming a highly valued option due to the facilities they offer for active communication between the user and information.
But they can be as harmful as useful in terms of security. Web applications are certainly one of the favorite dishes of hackers for the theft of sensitive information. Applications are often compromised with SQL injection attacks, XSS or cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
The attackers are simply waiting for the migration of many organizations to the Cloud to compromise applications with new and constant security threats.
But, don’t worry, a Web Applications Firewall can be very useful when it comes to offering the necessary security in the Cloud, unlike traditional firewalls, these devices are constantly monitoring, filtering or blocking the bidirectional traffic used by the HTTP protocol to and from a web application.
If you do not already have a Web Application Firewall or if you already have it, you should know why the Barracuda Web Application Firewall is becoming the ideal option to ensure protection on Amazon Web Services.
