Block OWASP Top 10 attacks, zero-day exploits, data leakage, and DDoS with layered signatures, positive security, and anomaly detection across every web app and API in your environment.

Advanced bot and API defense

Machine learning tells real users from sophisticated bots, blocks credential stuffing and account takeover, and auto-discovers shadow APIs to protect REST, JSON, and GraphQL endpoints.

Flexible deployment everywhere

Deploy as appliance, virtual machine, SaaS, or container across on-prem, AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments, with one unified policy model and centralized management console.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported Barracuda Application Protection experience with Discreet Vision.

Why Your Business Needs Barracuda Application Protection

Application Protection isn't just a WAF, it's a complete WAAP platform combining web firewall, DDoS, advanced bot defense, and API security into one solution that defends every app and API across any environment.

Complete OWASP & Zero-Day Coverage: Smart signatures, positive security models, and anomaly detection block OWASP Top 10, zero-day exploits, and targeted application attacks against web apps and APIs.

Machine Learning Bot Defense: ML-powered bot protection distinguishes humans from advanced bots that mimic users, stopping credential stuffing, account takeover, and low-and-slow attacks on legitimate traffic.

API Discovery & Protection: Auto-discover shadow and zombie APIs, then protect REST, JSON, and GraphQL endpoints from parser abuse, DDoS, and API-specific attacks with dedicated signatures tuned for APIs.

Deploy Anywhere Model: Run as a hardware appliance, virtual machine, SaaS, or container near your apps, with centralized policy management across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments from one console.

Built for how modern teams secure web apps and APIs.

Everything your business needs to defend applications and APIs, delivered in one integrated WAAP platform covering WAF protection, DDoS mitigation, advanced bot management, API security, and flexible deployment across cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and containerized environments.

WAF & Zero-Day Protection

Barracuda Application Protection blocks the OWASP Top 10, zero-day vulnerabilities, data leakage attempts, and application-layer denial of service attacks with a layered traffic processing engine. Smart Signatures use fewer detection patterns to catch more attacks, where each signature can detect threats covered by 40 traditional signatures, reducing false positives and improving detection speed. Positive security models build from trusted traffic, and scanner integrations configure protection.

Advanced Bot & DDoS Protection

Machine learning-powered bot defense continuously improves at distinguishing legitimate users from sophisticated bots that mimic humans, stopping credential stuffing, account takeover, and scraping with minimal friction on real customers. Barracuda Active Threat Intelligence scores every incoming request, feeding risk data to ML models that detect advanced bots and complex attackers. Unmetered Layer 3–7 DDoS protection scrubs volumetric and application-layer attacks before they hit.

API Security & Discovery

Modern apps expose more APIs than ever, and Barracuda Application Protection secures the entire API surface. Machine learning-backed API discovery finds shadow and zombie APIs behind your applications and automatically enables protection for them. JSON, REST, and GraphQL APIs are all protected against parser attacks, DDoS, and API-specific threats, with OpenAPI spec import to configure JSON firewall policies automatically. Rate limiting at IP or client fingerprint level prevents API abuse.

Flexible Deployment Options

Deploy Barracuda Application Protection the way that fits your environment: hardware or virtual appliance on-prem, SaaS in the cloud, or a containerized Security Engine running close to your apps in AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, or hybrid setups. The WAF-as-a-Container option pairs cloud-hosted control plane with locally deployed engines, covering east-west microservice traffic and latency-sensitive apps. Same unified management, policies, and threat intelligence work across every deployment option.

Centralized Management & Analytics

Manage every deployment from one unified console, with centralized policy management, threat intelligence, and configuration propagated automatically across appliances, cloud instances, and containers. The Active Threat Intelligence Dashboard provides at-a-glance visibility into traffic patterns and active threats. Logs export to leading SIEMs including Splunk, QRadar, and Azure Sentinel as JSON, Syslog, or AMQP/S. Automated reporting validates PCI-DSS and HIPAA compliance.
