Web Application Firewall Administration

Configuration and Policy Administration

Configuration of the Barracuda Web Application Firewall is accomplished through a secure Web-based interface, featuring a comprehensive online help system.

Initial application definition is made simple through comprehensive default security policies that also allow the administrator to specify more fine-grain rules. Features such as automatic rule creation from log entries enable administrators to easily maintain security policies even as applications change.

Reporting

The Barracuda Web Application Firewall's administrative tools feature statistical reporting that allow you to visualize both overall Web traffic levels as well as the levels of traffic filtered for either policy or security reasons.

The Barracuda Web Application Firewall basic status page provides a quick snapshot of statistics on common attacks, subscription status, performance statistics, as well as hourly and daily attacks and bandwidth usage.
