The Barracuda CloudGen WAF provides proven application security and data loss prevention for your applications on AWS. The Barracuda CloudGen WAF has achieved AWS Security competency certification and is available via metered usage-based billing.
Overview
The Barracuda CloudGen WAF detects all inbound web traffic and blocks SQL injections, cross-site scripting, malware uploads, volumetric & application DDoS, or any other attacks against your web applications. It also inspects the HTTP responses from the configured back-end servers for data loss prevention (DLP). The integrated access control engine enables administrators to create granular access control policies for Authentication, Authorization & Accounting (AAA), which gives organizations strong authentication and user control. The onboard L4/L7 load balancing capabilities enable organizations to quickly add back-end servers to scale deployments as they grow. Its application acceleration capabilities, including SSL offloading, caching, compression, and connection pooling, ensure faster application delivery of web application content. The Barracuda CloudGen WAF also supports autoscaling and bootstrapping.
NOTE: Only AMIs with version 10.x or higher version support the Elastic Network Adapters (ENA).

- Access the Barracuda Web Application Firewall using the associated Public IP/Public DNS with port 8000 over HTTP i.e. http://<public IP>:8000.
- You will see the blue loading screen for some time and eventually you will be presented with the End User License Agreement (EULA).
- Click “Accept” button and you will be redirected to the login page.
- Log in as "admin" to begin configurations. Your initial password is the EC2 instance ID, and can be changed later from Basic > Administration page.

What do you dislike about the product?
While the basic features are user-friendly, I've found that some of the more advanced settings can be complex. There were a few moments where I had to dive deep into the user manuals or reach out to customer support. A bit more intuitive design or additional tutorials on these features would enhance the experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Barracuda Cloud-Native SASE has been a valuable addition to our cybersecurity toolkit. Its strengths in security and user experience outweigh the minor drawbacks I've encountered. I would recommend it to companies looking for a reliable SASE solution that prioritizes security and ease of management.
