Case Study: Medefy protects client data and ensures availability with Barracuda Networks' WAF-as-a-Service

Medefy protects client data with flexible WAF solutions

Medefy, a Tulsa-based healthcare user-engagement provider, offers a white‑labeled mobile app that connects insured employees with live health benefits concierges. As the company shifted from IaaS to a PaaS model, it needed stronger application security to meet HIPAA/PHI requirements while preserving ease of use and its 96% customer approval rating.

Medefy implemented Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service, a flexible cloud WAF with a pre-defined rule set, unmetered DDoS protection, and simple month-to-month throughput licensing. The service deployed in under ten minutes via a five-step wizard, met their security and availability goals, and left the team considering expansion to self-managed or virtual Barracuda WAF instances as they grow.
