    Overview

    Most organizations are rightly concerned about web attacks disrupting their systems, applications, networked devices and other infrastructure components. Whether you are running a global enterprise or a small business, vulnerabilities in web applications can lead to costly data breaches that can adversely impact business operations as well as erode customer trust. Furthermore, maintaining web application security can be complex and expensive, especially for IT constrained organizations. Fortunately, the Barracuda Vulnerability Manager combined with the Barracuda Web Application Firewall can help you easily identify vulnerabilities and automatically secure your web application infrastructure.

    Reviews from Real Users

    “Many websites require an SSL certificate because they sell stuff and want SSL. Cloudflare comes with an SSL certificate built in. It's automatic. You sign yourself up for Cloudflare, and an SSL certificate automatically protects your website. If you have a connection between your website and your host, the server, Cloudflare, and the host, you don't necessarily need a certificate.”  Spencer M., Owner at Tech Exchange

    “What I like best about Cloudflare is that my company can use it to trace and manage applications and monitor traffic. The solution tells you if there's a spike in traffic. Cloudflare also sends you a link to check your equipment and deployment and track it through peering, so it's a valuable tool.” Daniel P., Network engineer at Ufinet

    The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service.” A PeerSpot user who is a Competence Center Manager at a tech services company.
