The company came to the conclusion that it needed an additional firewall solution to protect their data center. The goal was to log more information on the subnets’ inbound and outbound traffic. Platinum Bank determined that the Barracuda WAF was the right choice. Since deploying the Barracuda WAF, Platinum Bank has warded off many cyberattacks. In addition, Platinum Bank is now able to fix their own issues within five minutes, whereas their outsourced provider solution took weeks, saving a significant amount of time and money. Results
