Barracuda Networks Web Application Controller NC2000 AG
Powerful, application-layer security protection for Web servers.

The Barracuda Web Application Controller protects your Web site from attackers leveraging protocol or application vulnerabilities to instigate unauthorized access, data theft, denial of service or defacement of your Web site. Unlike traditional network firewalls or intrusion detection systems that simply pass HTTP, HTTPS or FTP traffic for Web applications, the Barracuda Web Application Controller proxies this traffic and insulates your Web servers from direct access by hackers.

Comprehensive Web Site Protection:

The Barracuda Web Application Controller provides award-winning protection from all common attacks on Web applications, including SQL injections, cross-site scripting attacks, session tampering and buffer overflows. As a full proxy, the Barracuda Web Application Controller inspects both request and response traffic, providing the capabilities to not only block inbound attacks, but also to cloak your Web site from hackers and filter outbound traffic to prevent potential sensitive data leakage, such as credit card numbers or Social Security numbers. In addition, the Barracuda Web Application Controller secures applications from unauthorized user access through integration with common authentication services, such as LDAP and RADIUS servers, and can provide full PKI infrastructure for use with client certificates.

With the optional Web Services Security Edition, the Barracuda Web Application Controller extends protection for traditional HTML Web applications to modern XML Web services applications. In addition to filtering attack traffic, the Barracuda Web Application Controller validates XML schema, SOAP envelopes and XML content to block policy violations in your Web services’ application traffic.

Advanced Traffic Management and Acceleration:

The Barracuda Web Application Controller integrates traffic management capabilities, including caching, compression and load balancing. With the Barracuda Web Application Controller, you can not only secure your Web applications but increase both their performance and availability as well.
