How to Add Incapsula to Your Microsoft Azure Instance 

We are pleased to announce that Incapsula is now available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. For the last several years, Incapsula has been protecting Azure customers with a Gartner Magic Quadrant-leading web application firewall (WAF), Forrester Wave-leading DDoS mitigation, and intelligent bot protection for any website or application in a pure or hybrid Azure environment.

In addition to protecting websites from attacks, hacking attempts, network- and application-layer DDoS attacks, the Incapsula network filters out malicious traffic before it reaches Azure through advanced client classification and bot protection.
