Case Study: Cásper Líbero Foundation secures critical web applications with Barracuda Networks' Web Application Firewall

Cásper Líbero Foundation Secures Critical Web Applications With The Barracuda Web Application Firewall

Cásper Líbero Foundation is a major Brazilian media and communications organization based in São Paulo, operating popular properties such as Gazeta FM, Gazeta Esportiva, Rede Gazeta, GazetaPress, an online store, and a university for journalism and communications. Because its high-profile websites were frequent targets for malware injection, SQL injection, and XSS attacks in a region with active hacker communities and evolving cyber law, the foundation needed stronger web-application protection beyond what its network firewall could provide.

The foundation deployed the Barracuda Web Application Firewall 660 for its full reverse-proxy inspection, DLP and ease of management, chosen for strong security, low total cost of ownership and no per-user fees. The appliance was configured and deployed within days, scaled quickly across more than 30 sites, and within months protected all web assets; the IT team reported satisfaction with performance and plans to extend centralized authentication and access controls using the solution.
