LAS VEGAS, Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- AWS
re:Invent - Barracuda Networks, Inc. (NYSE: CUDA) -
Highlights:
- Barracuda announced a new metered billing option for its Web
Application Firewall on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Barracuda Web Application Firewall is the first
third-party web application security solution available on the AWS
Marketplace where customer usage is aggregated and charged as part
of an existing AWS bill, regardless of the number of the Barracuda
Web Application Firewalls deployed.
- Barracuda's new metered billing option enables customers to
deploy an unlimited number of Web Application Firewalls and only
pay for what they consume.
- Barracuda also announced an API integration between Barracuda's
Web Application Firewall and NextGen Firewall solutions, helping
customers simplify the way application security is deployed and
managed.
- Barracuda is demonstrating its AWS security solutions in booth
2215 during AWS re:Invent 2016 this week in Las Vegas. In addition, 2nd Watch, an AWS
Premier Partner, will showcase integrated solutions including
Barracuda's suite of award-winning, cloud-ready security solutions
in booth 825.
Continuing its cloud security innovation, Barracuda today
announced several updates aimed at simplifying web application
security for Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers. Barracuda Web
Application Firewall is now available as a metered service in the
AWS Marketplace. Barracuda Web Application Firewall is the first
third-party web application security solution available as a
metered service where usage is aggregated and charged as part of an
existing AWS bill. Using the metered service, customers can take
advantage of a consumption-based pricing model to match capacity to
need, giving customers greater flexibility and control over how
they deploy security in their AWS environments. Barracuda also
announced several updates to its Web Application Firewall product
line that simplify the way application security is deployed and
managed, including API integration between the Barracuda Web
Application Firewall and Barracuda NextGen Firewall solutions.
"Barracuda is a long-time, trusted AWS partner, and we work
closely to deliver a secure platform and experience for customers
moving to AWS," said Dave McCann,
vice president, AWS Marketplace and Service Catalog at AWS.
"AWS delivers a strong foundation of the underlying infrastructure,
and Barracuda has been a great security partner for us as customers
look to leverage the cloud, while maintaining security, performance
and control across their applications running in AWS."
Web Application Security as a Metered Service on AWS
With the increasing sophistication of attacks, customers must
rethink traditional security deployments to ensure that application
security can economically scale with application workloads. With
metered billing, customers can deploy an unlimited number of
Barracuda Web Application Firewalls across their environment and
pay only for what they consume when running applications, helping
to keep operating costs in line. As with other AWS Marketplace
products, usage is aggregated at the end of the month and charged
as part of an existing AWS bill. For partners, metered billing
reduces the friction of negotiating, deploying and buying ISV
solutions, while simplifying the way customers deploy security
within their AWS environments.
"Barracuda and AWS actively embrace the shared responsibility
model to ensure our customers are able to maximize their cloud
investments," said Nicole
Napiltonia, vice president, Alliances at Barracuda. "The
current threat landscape has proven the importance of web
application security and extending that to the cloud. As a
long-time AWS partner, we are excited to be the first ISV to roll
out web application firewall metered billing to our customers,
giving them more choice and flexibility in how they secure their
AWS environment."
Helping Customers Maximize AWS Investments
2nd Watch,
an AWS Premier Partner and one of the largest consulting partners
for AWS, selected the Barracuda Web Application Firewall to help
customers reduce complexity, increase visibility, and migrate to
the cloud securely and affordably. Barracuda's award-winning
products together with 2nd Watch's integration experience help
customers maximize their AWS investments with secure, tailored
solutions engineered for cloud environments. For additional
information, visit 2nd Watch at re:Invent booth 825.
"2nd Watch has been at the forefront of securing and managing
cloud investments on AWS since inception, and the Barracuda

applications," said Jeff Aden,
executive vice president, Marketing and Business Development
at 2nd Watch.
