CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Barracuda
Networks, Inc. (NYSE: CUDA), a provider of cloud-enabled security
and data protection solutions, today announced that the Barracuda
NextGen Firewall has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security
Competency status. Barracuda NexGen Firewall joins the Barracuda
Web Application Firewall, which achieved the same competency
earlier in 2016. The new certification makes Barracuda one of the
first Advanced Technology Partners in the AWS Partner Network (APN)
to achieve two security competencies — continuing to add
credibility to its recently announced Cloud Generation Firewall
capabilities.
"The AWS Security Competency offers further validation that
Barracuda's Cloud Generation Firewalls provide customers with
additional application security controls," said Tim Jefferson, VP Public Cloud, Barracuda. "In
addition to the Competency, we're continuing to expand our cloud
generation capabilities with services like a true usage-based
billing option, which helps customers align their infrastructure
security plan with cloud consumption models. This is just one
example, but it's all about enabling customers to move fast while
remaining secure."
AWS is enabling scalable, flexible and cost-effective solutions
from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless
integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the
AWS Competency Program to help customers identify APN Consulting
and Technology Partners with deep industry experience and
expertise.

cloud fabric, provide API integrations for DevOps tools and
automation workflows, and centrally manage across on-premises and
cloud environments. These features provide customers with benefits
of the cloud in addition to application security.
- Support for cloud-specific use cases – Support unique
requirements of the cloud including horizontal scalability,
distributed policy sets, meshed connectivity, and north-south
