People who host their applications on the cloud, global servers, on-premises, or various locations may encounter issues related to IT threading as well as volumetric attacks. To address these challenges, we provide the Barracuda Web Application Firewall. The most significant advantage of the Barracuda Web Application Firewall is that it offers a single subscription for Active DDoS protection.

There are two types of DDoS attacks: active DDoS and offline DDoS. With Barracuda Web Application Firewall, we only need one subscription to be protected against both. In contrast, other solutions and competitors often require separate subscriptions for DDoS protection, making their offerings more expensive.

When it comes to a comprehensive web application firewall solution, Barracuda stands out by providing an affordable and end-to-end approach. In comparison, other market solutions typically consist of separate boxes for different features, leading to higher pricing.

Typically these web application firewalls act as an additional layer primarily for traffic. The web application firewalls are more of a safeguard if a company still has legacy technologies, for which they don't have the patches. It's basically used for the protection and security of web applications.
