Secure gateway has strengthened mobile access and consistently reduced web security incidents
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Barracuda Application Protection is for our mobile apps and for the remote users we have, as I use this as the secure gateway to protect the application integrity as well as the data going from our organization to our users remotely as well as the ones in-house.
What is most valuable?
Barracuda Application Protection specifically helps with securing our mobile apps and remote users by providing full-spectrum security DOD-level protection, which is a big help for us for the security of our data. Implementing Barracuda Application Protection has had a measurable and strategic impact on our overall business objectives. Within the first six to seven months of deployment, I saw a 60% reduction in security incidents, incidents affecting the web application which directly translated into fewer service interruptions and less time spent on incident response.
Overall, Barracuda Application Protection has made it so easy to manage all our applications.
The best features Barracuda Application Protection offers include ease of setup on a firewall for security for VPN users, and configuration is easy to do and use for our security team with its features and pictures of instruction. Additionally, ease of deployment, less costly, easy to manage application, scalability is good, and security features are strong. It contains a lot of granularity, especially with URL profiles, protection, and JSON security.
Granular controls and JSON security have helped our team by providing a secure gateway to protect application integrity as well as the data going from our organization to the users remotely, as well as the ones in the offices.
I would also add that it has been good in lessening threats from the outside, and being able to set as many rules as needed is a big plus for us.
What needs improvement?
I do not have much to say about the improvement, but a more innovative solution for sniffing more on the network would be great, and having the advanced ability to close off ports when they could be getting tested from hackers for intrusion would be helpful.
I would also add that the user interface should be improved to be more user-friendly and customizable.
