Imperva: Devising All-Encompassing Security Vanguard

CIO Vendor The increased adaptation of hybrid/remote working and integration of advanced technologies and systems has accelerated the need for security protocols and processes to mitigate the concerns. Customers, however, no longer expect merely products and services from cybersecurity solution providers or only features and capabilities from products and solutions. Customers now want a trusted advisor who knows what it takes to deploy and manage a particular environment; a partner who understands their difficulties and pain points from previous deployments. This is where Imperva steps in.

Imperva has built a reputation for solving customers’ most complex security challenges with disruptive products and innovative offerings. Irrespective of where customers stand in their digital journey, Imperva ensures they’re resilient to cyberattacks, and compliant with relevant regulations and laws while making security seamless to their customers experience. Imperva also assists clients in implementing best practices on products, resulting in reduced false positives. Imperva has prevention and detection capabilities that supports onpremises, cloud, or any air gapped environment, regardless of how individual enterprises deploy. Imperva protects critical apps, APIs, and data at scale and ensures the highest ROI. In 2022, the company introduced API Security, Data Security Fabric, and Online Fraud Prevention. These innovations are completely intended to help customers overcome every evolving security challenge.

“Our Application Security safeguards applications and APIs at the network level with DDoS, Web Application Firewall(WAF), Advanced Bot Protection (ABP), and Client Side Protection(CSP), as well as at the application layer with Runtime Application Self-Protection(RASP).Our data security capabilities are centred around use cases such as database activity monitoring, data store activity
monitoring, and governance (e.g., discovery and classification, access control, risk analytics, compliance management, and more)”, says Bikramdeep Singh, Regional Sales Director - India and SAARC, Imperva.

Imperva Network Security helps organizations ensure constant network availability through regular optimization and protection across corporate, data centre, and cloud infrastructure. The company's focus is on enabling faster content delivery while protecting a customer from disruptive attacks to ensure high performance and low disruption. This is delivered through its robust product portfolio which includes Imperva Content Delivery Network (CDN), Imperva DDoS Protection and Imperva DNS Protection.

Imperva RASP and WAF are both excellent at safeguarding containers running within Kubernetes clusters when it comes to securing cloudnative settings. The firm allows enterprises to manage thousands of containers, each with its own operating system version, system files, packages, and executables, dynamically defending against security flaws.

Additionally, Imperva API Security can also be employed to monitor and secure the Kubernetes API, which is used to administrate and interact with clusters which is something heavily targeted by attackers. Imperva empowers Kubernetes operators with extensive API visibility without needing development to add resource intensive workflow to their CI/CD operations.

The firm cushions businesses at every stage of their digital journey. This is demonstrated by the several industry accolades Imperva has garnered in the last year, as well as the analyst recognition it has gotten year after year. For example Imperva was named a leader in The Forrester Wave Bot Management, Q2 2022 for the third time in a row, as well as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Application & API Protection in 2022 for the ninth consecutive time.

“Our game plan is to build, partner, and invest in necessities that support the acceleration of innovation across our product line. This plan is visible in our team's accomplishments in 2020 and 2021. We acquired two companies (JSONAR in October 2020 and CLOUDVECTOR in May 2021) while introducing four new innovations in 2021 - Imperva Sonar, Imperva Data Security Platform, Imperva Serverless Protection, and Imperva Data Privacy”, concludes Bikramdeep.
