Application threats are evolving. Find out how to keep up.

Phishing continues to be the top vector for cybercriminals trying to penetrate your defenses. But as growing numbers of organizations implement modern email security strategies with AI-based phishing detection, it’s getting harder to succeed with that approach.

Partly because of this, cyber crooks have begun to focus more on application-layer attacks. And as they probe for vulnerabilities, they like what they’re finding:

• The increasing deployment of exposed APIs that interface directly with client systems offers new opportunities to penetrate networks.
• Inadequate defenses against advanced, human-mimicking bots provide an opportunity to launch a wide range of botnet attacks that can cripple your network and operations.
• Increasingly complex and vulnerable software supply chains and client-side calls to third-party resources create yet another way to compromise apps in hard-to-detect ways.

Get the facts in a new webinar

Join us on August 8 for a webinar entitled “The New ABCs of Application Security” and get all the latest insights on the fast-growing use of API, bot, and client-side attacks. At the webinar, you’ll see how recent, real-world examples of these have unfolded — and you’ll find out about the costly outcomes for their victims.

In addition, presenter Tushar Richabadas, Barracuda’s Principal Marketing Manager for application security, will discuss the latest strategies and technologies available for combating the new wave of application-layer threats, including:

• Machine-learning-powered API discovery that helps users find and remediate exposed APIs wherever they may be deployed
• Advanced Zero-Trust capabilities that help prevent malicious users and bots gaining access to vulnerable applications
• Secure Application Delivery technologies that help you ensure your apps are protected on the client side as well as internally

Easier than ever before

Many of the application vulnerabilities that criminals seek out only exist because web application firewalls have traditionally been too complex and time-consuming for the average IT team to configure correctly.

As part of the presentation, Tushar will share how modern app-security solutions like Barracuda Application Protection have been developed with advanced automation capabilities and intuitive, simple-to-use configuration interfaces that make it much easier to ensure your web apps and APIs are fully protected against the latest threats.

Don’t leave vulnerable apps and APIs hanging out there waiting to be discovered and exploited by criminals any longer than necessary. Attend this timely and informative webinar to gain the latest insights on how to fight back.
