Case Study: Unicre achieves rapid, compliant Azure migration and 50% IT cost reduction with Barracuda Networks CloudGen WAF

Unicre Uses Azure for Hosting, Chooses Barracuda CloudGen WAF to Support Regulatory Compliance

Unicre, a Lisbon-based payment-solutions and card-management provider founded in 1974, faced rising costs, limited scalability, and stringent EBA/PCI regulatory requirements tied to its legacy IT. The company needed a transparent cloud migration that would not disrupt customers and would fully secure outward-facing applications against cyber threats.

Working with reseller OnepointSale, Unicre moved to Microsoft Azure and deployed the Barracuda CloudGen WAF after a 90-day proof-of-concept; the solution proved easy to deploy from the Azure Marketplace, auto-scales with new instances, and supports regulatory compliance. The three-month migration completed with zero downtime, delivered a 50% reduction in IT overhead, and accelerated Unicre’s cloud adoption strategy.
