Case Study: Channelscaler achieves AI- and bot-attack protection and continuous uptime with Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service (Barracuda Networks)

Helping SaaS player Channelscaler to protect and grow its business

Channelscaler, formed from the merger of Channel Mechanics and Allbound, delivers an AI-powered partner enablement-as-a-service platform and needed to secure its SaaS offering quickly. The company faced rising AI- and bot-driven attacks (including DDoS), strict customer security expectations, and a short window to replace its expiring web application firewall.

Channelscaler deployed Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service in a containerized, cloud-delivered configuration to provide L3–L7 DDoS protection and advanced bot mitigation. The WAF blocks thousands of web threats per day, preserves uptime, reduces configuration time versus the previous solution, and helps Channelscaler meet client security requirements while freeing staff to focus on higher-value work.
